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.

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.

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

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

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.

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