White House Draws Closer To Occupy Wall Street, Says Obama Is Fighting For The Interests Of The 99%

In a call previewing Obama's upcoming bus tour through North Carolina and Virginia, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama "will continue to acknowledge the frustration that he himself shares," about Washington's laggard response to the financial crisis.

Am I the only person in America that knows that the rich voted for Obama by a wide margin in 2008? It would be interesting for the media to point out occasionally that those making over $250,000.00 a year, voted solidly for Obama and the left. WM
