Poll question: Should President Obama go to Liberty Plaza? (aka Zuchotti Park)
My question is three fold: Should President Obama *go* to Liberty Plaza, *listen* to the people *and then address* the people?

I apologize if this a dupe, but I haven't seen such a poll.

11. Strongly disagree.
Better to send organic produce. And then ask to join the Direct Action Working Group.

3. Obama shouldn't go, This should stay a movement of the people. Obama has demonstrated he's on the

side of Wall St. and the bankers already.

4. I believe most people there think he is part of the problem.
Maybe he should not push free trade agreements instead. That would be the best show of solidarity.

6. Agree strongly.
With everything you said. He probably has not seriously considered going. I certainly don't predict he will. However, I think he *should.* It might be a reality check for him, to experience what so many others are doing and perhaps something of why they are doing it. He's in a bubble, while the times are a changing.

5. He shouldn't go, but should acknowledge it is happening.

7. No, he shouldn't go.
For one thing, the security alone would be a nightmare for everyone.

He needs to keep on the American Jobs Act issue.

10. If he keeps ignoring OWS,
maybe she'll get there sooner.
