them banks got to go i tried of hearing reform fuck that we need a new system why is everybody scared of something new these banks keep fucking up over and over come on now end the fed lets start this shit over with out banks

[TheDaxindex]

The problem is that Democrats and Republicans are for CRONYSM !! The problem is that none of the crooks who stole from the nation are being prosecuted. Lloyd Blankfein and the other scum such as Ben Bernanke, Geithner and all the assholes who allowd TARP, QE's and who cheated in accounting standards selling shit to their costumers (pention funds etc...). OBAMA youre a HYPOCRITE if you want to solve the problem APPLY THE LAW AGAINST THE CROOKS WHO FINANCE YOUR CAMPAIGN.

[reethigowla]

Obama is speaking bullshit. I was appreciative of him when he told that Americans are expressing their frustrations. But whatever he said after that is just bullshit. He is moralizing the entire problem, by blaming the Americans for not working hard and keeping up the Old traditional American values !! What a piece of foolishness!!So he is saying that all these problems today are still because of the American people themselves and not of the State or the financial institutions the ruling country

[onder1188]

Obama is 1% ?

[SanLucia1]

I stand corrected, in part, from a response to my comment that Obama was responsible, solely, for the bailout program. It was Bush who conceived the TARP program in 2008, an election year when he was a lame duck, but even if the idea was Bush's TARP was a very bad idea. Obama promised to help everyday Americans but did not do so by continuing TARP and a majority of Americans, consequently, blame him for this decision. Thanks for the correction both parties should be blamed and ashamed.

I voted for Obama but he is a Corporate Sell Out. He only tells the people what they want to hear. He bailed out banks (2008) with our tax money, he appointed former Chicago business partner Arne Duncan to Secretary of Education (although he was never a teacher). He didnt march with the people in Wisconsin nor Wall Street. Actions speak louder than words. As far as I am concerned he is part of the 1%

[NETWizzJbirk]

Banks don't need to compete on the basis of service, product, and price... they are in collusion with one another. It isn't the bullshit fees that piss us off; it is the extortion of our hard earned money... fraud, and lies.

[cmchris88]

we don't need a consumer watchdog... we need a fucking army tank

[cmchris88]

this is not what I voted for... your the fucking president... go do something

[2013skywalker]

YOU GOT THE MAJORITY of 60 VOTES and you HAVE PRESIDENTIAL POWER no ONE can STAND in YOUR way EXCEPT for GOD

SO YOU HAVE ABSOLUTE POWER and absolute power Corrupts ABSOLUTELY

[2013skywalker]

YOU HEARD OF IT , this ARE YOUR EMPLOYERS

THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED AND YOU ARE THE FRONT,JUDAS

[SoMuchKoolerOnline]

Let's look at how much the EPA (Environmental Protection) .The EPA used to be a WATCH DOG but now it is a PACK of WOLVES. The EPA forces small business owners to go belly up and large corporations to goverseas.

Overseas they escape the EPA meddling in business where cost of business operation is less because they don't have to jump through alot of EPA hoops. EPA has strangled the Alaska pipeline making us more dependent on foreign oil.

[brocomedy2012]

@kavian15 you are the man



[Bringmebrady]

Marks and bruises from spending 1 TRILLION DOLLARS to bail out corrupt banks HE SAYS HE HAS BRUISES? :/

[GuitarSongCoverDude]

He used to be so passionate. Now he just talks about the wall street occupation as if it was a nuisance to him. I'm reading his book "The audicity of hope" atm, in which he seems to have great answers to all the big problems of the US. But now he is just a dull, mediocre president that is better than the one before, not because of his actions but because of the lack of them. The solution to the wall street problem will not be given by the president. It will be given by the people.

[himynameisjc91]

Prosecute wall street

[urbanverificationist]

People are occupying Wall Street because America has the best government money can buy. We want publicly funded elections. Get the money out of politics..

[daniezzi]

He better wake up because everyone will eventually join this movement...That 1% uses their dirty money to make more and more billions..It's fine to them because that kind of money can buy anything for them!! This causes the American people that bust their asses in life to have less and less!! 2012 is coming quick now isn't it??...PS I am all for a small amount of people having a lot of money, but this is just ridiculous ..accept your successes in life and pay back the people that got you there!

[NoBungholeCornholio]

@spiralmetal You still dont get it do you? You never had a choice. You never voted him in. The system has failed us.

[countyfair74]

He's Goldman Sachs bitch.

[automan1238]

EVERYONE LOOK AT HOW THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO CO-OPT THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT!! DON'T LET THE POLITICIANS HIJACK IT!!!!

[hairybeast0]

@automan1238 I totally agree, after initially demonizing our movement, their new tactic will be to claim support, and then steer the movement into backing a single or handful of specific issues, instead of tackling the fundamental problem which is the system that could ever allow things to get this bad. Their aim will be to change a few mechanisms or laws, and hope everyone will be satisfied enough to abandon our convictions.

[TellTailHeart]

Why isn't Obama personally down on Wall Street with the protesters he's seen only on TV? He insults the American people when he says they don't understand why he bailed out the banks to save the economy. He states that the protest is well-meaning but misguided. So everyone should go home rather than exercise free speech? Wasn't he a Constitutional Law professor? Go to another black tie White House Correspondents dinner and laugh at your misguided people again Mr. President. Shame on you.

[pikohblue]

@TellTailHeart

Well said sir, very well said.

I'm Canadian and I reach out a lot of you folks, I wish you all the best.

[fruckstuck]

@TellTailHeart well said indeed. shame on obama and wallst.

[mihaimoldo]

@TellTailHeart because he's a fucking tool?

[D34NM4CH1N3]

@TellTailHeart Correct me if i am wrong didn't the bail out start out on Bush's term.

[skyblue45678]

@D34NM4CH1N3 no one's gonna correct you. honey because your right. idk how ppl forget this?

[ismuks]

this one proves; obama is a puppet.

[whatsanme]

@ismuks he was doomed from the start. The House he had to take over must have been a mess. Although i thought he would have been a more people president. He has me wondering. There must be motives we are not aware of so ya i agree. he is someones puppet.?

[spiralmetal]

To the people attacking Obama on this thread,

Obama didn't do anything wrong. You just want him out for being a democrat. He obviously empathizes with the public and has already taken action against Wall Street a long time ago, but it's tough trying to have influence over such a powerful establishment and change isn't going to come over night.

You're acting crazy.

[chippprrr]

IMPEACH OBAMA!!!!!!!IMPEACH OBAMA!!!!!!!IMPEACH OBAMA!!!!!!!IMPEACH OBAMA!!!!!!!IMPEACH OBAMA!!!!!!!IMPEACH OBAMA!!!!!!!IMPEACH OBAMA!!!!!!!

ABSENCE OF MIND!!!!!!!ABSENCE OF MIND!!!!!!!ABSENCE OF MIND!!!!!!!ABSENCE OF MIND!!!!!!!ABSENCE OF MIND!!!!!!!ABSENCE OF MIND!!!!!!!

SPEACHLESS AND ALOOF!!!!!

"CONSUMER WATCHDOG"????? MORE FUCKING BEAUROCRACY!!!!

[papavalium]

Lets see Obama supports these protests, yet the TEA PARTY is racist. lmao Last I checked it was all white people at the Protest in Wall Street.

Second point, Obama has seen the protests in wall street, but he didn't know about Fast and Furious program. LMAO WOW Can you say Arrest the President?

[DJMiagi]

@papavalium no it isn't... clearly you have not been to these protests which are multi ethnic and span all ages and professions..

[1991PatMan]

Wow that was brilliantly done. he just said that the wallstreet occupiers are frustrated and the republican party...and not him....

[noorgard1]

Many banks lure in customers with the promise of free accounts and then change their policy within a few months to add fees to the free accounts. (ex. Wells Fargo) one of the most recent. What we need is more local banks.

We also need new changes to credit reporting agencies. example. Sprint pcs which had one of the worst records with the FCC could place a negative impact on ones credit. Companies with bad business practice should be forbidden to impact ones credit. Start by changing those 2.
