It's time to Occupy!
And this is a surprise to you, after the last bailout shipped BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars overseas via AIG...? (Bank Stimulus Bill)

Jobs. Look at the unemployment numbers and convince yourself Obama's interest is in bringing jobs to Americans. Look at his subversive behaviors in commerce and energy. There will be no sustained upward trend till closer to the elections when there will all of a sudden be another "jobs Growth" check in the taxpayers mailbox, funded by our future.
And how about blocking US companies from deap sea drilling in the Gulf, yet the Obama administration sends 2 Billion US taxpayer dollars to a Brazilian drilling company to drill in the Gulf at the same time? Way to keep the jobs here, Obama. Way to subvert the American people. Way to show your loyalty, patriotism and being true to the Constitution you swore to protect, as a condition of your employment.
More Chicago politics, more abuse to taxpayers, more ineptitude...
And how many protesting at Wall Street plan on protesting at the Federal Reserve and White House...? Or is it in fact the case, where those that make the laws (Dodd/Frank for instance) are immune, and those that break no laws are ridiculed and villified? Let me repeat...BROKE NO LAWS.
If blame is so important though, why is there only a one-sided campaign just against the very businesses that employ your neighbors, your friends, your relatives...? If the blame is so one sided as to not include the very people in office that are allowing (doubling-down on) these practices to go on, (Dodd/Frank?Federal Reserve...) then it is going to be awfully difficult to gain any credibility for "the cause". Too partisan and you lose the majority of support in the middle. Short-sightedness is most often a recipe for failure.
