...Ok, lets say you have a point protesting the banks; then how come you are not protesting in front of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac who are just as responsible (if not more) as financial institutions for the current mess, yet were exempted by Frank-Dodd legislation that supposedly imposed necessary regulations on the financial sector? While you are at it, how come you are not protesting in front of White House (Obama) and the U.S. Capitol (Barney Frank) those Democrats who were in 2008 - as well as today - the number one and two recipients of Wall Street campaign money?
Let me guess, all the parties (and entities) I listed are actively working to destroy the one thing you also want destroyed: Capitalism. Right?

They're anti war as well so they should be protesting at Hitlery Klintoon's house, Susan Rice's house, and Samantha Power's house as well as the WH.
Of course, that is, IF they were a grassroots movement but this is a leftist orchestrated affair thus...
I propose putting predator drones to to put to use over major U.S. cities where Occupy movement is protesting...
You are asking your question of a bunch of mindless drones. If you can stand Howard Stern and get past the language, his interview of these nitwits is hilarious and quite telling. He is really mocking them and they are clueless.
Keep up the good work!

Why aren't they protesting Obama? Obama who has accepted campaign donations from Wall Street, who created health care legislation that primarily was written for the benefit of insurance companies, and who has not lifted a finger to investigate the abuses of trust.
Do they really think Obama is going to tax his masters?
Do you want cheese with your whine?
Here's another example of what's going on out there, a marine stands up against police brutality.

And here's another side again: Obama's ineffective attempts to deal with the mortgage crisis.

Now this is not whiny socialist wannabes. Fact is the banks have been treated very kindly indeed and homeowners have largely been kicked in the guts. I don't support mortgage bailouts, and neither do I support bank bailouts; but we all have to accept that mistakes have been made in the past and attempting to boot more than a million people out of their homes and into the streets is not good governance.
When you read that a government auditor found errors in 80% of audited mortgage foreclosure cases and then kept the errors secret so that no foreclosures needed to be reversed... seriously, what is this coming to? That's not obeying the rule of law, it is arbitrary and unjust.
Fannie and Freddie got a massive taxpayer bailout, they are still facing huge losses even after that and they haven't even fully marked to market their portfolio (implying more massive losses to come). Yet the government continues to protect these institutions, not because they are worried about overspending taxpayer's money, but they are worried about admitting the embarrassment that their initiatives have failed utterly.
There's so much wrong with this situation, really the Tea Party and the OWS have to at least agree on fixing a few basics.
