Has Obama even recognized the Wall St Protesters?

[OKDem08]

a simple recognition is warranted I believe...

[PETRUS]

1. Not yet

As far as I know, but www.whitehouse.gov promises a response to any petition that collects a 5,000 signatures within 30 days. "Recognize the men and women who are occupying wall street," which was started on September 23 has 8,355 as of now.

22. thanks. signed.

[PETRUS]

23. Thank YOU

Dunno if it will do any good, but I do know silence and inaction doesn't accomplish much...

[Ken Burch]

2. Does he recognize anybody who can't write a massive campaign check?

I think we know who's side HE'd be on on Wall Street.

[spanone]

17. yea, dadt was all about the gays writing him a massive campaign check....

[Ken Burch]

19. Actually, if it was anything, it was about sweetening the idea

of keeping the Bush Tax Cuts in place(as they will now probably be, forever).

He was able to use that and the pathetically small extension in unemployment benefits to argue that he GOT something for caving.

I didn't know he was supposed to or was particularly wanted.

[B Calm]

6. LOL

9. He should read more....

A revolution is coming: a revolution which will be peaceful if
we are wise enough; compassionate if we care enough;
successful if we are fortunate enough. But a revolution which
is coming whether we will it or not. We can affect its
character; we cannot alter its inevitability.

10. Not yet. He may.

Independents might have noticed them.

[Ken Burch]

20. When they've all been foreclosed?

n/t.

[Donnachaidh]

11. that won't happen till it has been decided it will help his election

I'll bet his analysts are hard at work trying to figure out when that will happen.

[Karmadillo]

12. The administration is still resting up from its exhausting effort to save Troy Davis.

13. +

[greytdemocrat]

14. Let me be clear...

NO.

[TBF]

15. lol - it's campaign season nt

[ThomWV]

16. Obama will not recognized them until they have won or he can negotiate away whatever they have won.

Because if its not at least half a Republican idea he sees no value in it.

[bigwillq]

18. No. It's a states issue.

:rofl:

[EFerrari]

21. LOL

[Ken Burch]

24. And 24-dimentsional chess.

And it's all ok, because he was a "community organizer".

[Shagbark Hickory]

25. I'm sure he wants the protests to go away. They make his tenure look like a failure when

his supporters are out in the street protesting more than they protested Bush.

[loyalsister]

26. What exactly should he address?

There is no clear demand or goal. What, other than saying he will fire his entire administration would people appreciate?

[Skidmore]

27. I think it's more important that the public recognize it.

Unrec for mendacity.
