President Obama speaks to Occupy from 2008

On January 8, 2008, Barack Obama spoke the words in this mashup to an election night crowd after losing the NH Primary. These images from the Occupy Movement prove his words. Yes we did, Mr. President. Your turn.

Dude it's never going to be his turn... He's one of them.

His whole presidency has been nothing but a let down of the highest order, and come the next election... who ever it will be from this lot of monsters. It will be the same.

Obama is an imposter a fraud and a lyer. Stupid americans actually believed him and pay for the consequence.....The only change is a white man with a dirty black face.

I liked when my local news was covering this and It seems like the interviewed morons who were not knowledgeable on this movement seemingly to make it look like occupy wall street movement was full of idiots

The people, WE the people, have the right to overthrow our government if they violate our Constitution or our Bill of Rights. The day that happens, the day they rid of our rights, the day they ruin America for what it stood for, the day they ignore what WE say and do with only they're greed. that day. This year. Prepare for Revolution

@RunicAngel1 ? I've known about what was going on way before occupy started. I was more in the stage of hoping people would rise up with the same knowledge. Because people look around and see that no one is taking action and shrug it off and wait and let things be. Now i am not alone on this fight to bring back power back to the people. The more i learn how we are treated during protest the more it confirms our system is messed up. The making up of laws,no badges,riot gear to scare.

@warningfireexit Change didn't come because we WAITED for SOMEONE ELSE to change it for us. Only we can make change. And I'd honestly rather vote for the shoe that was thrown at George W. Bush than vote for anybody this year.

Hmm... Apparently he didn't think we were serious...

To bad he lied to all of us.

Anonymous supports democracy... does Anonymous know the difference between the original republic and the substance of a democracy? People need to start thinking for themselves and stop relying on an outside entity. Just because they are hackers, it doesn't mean they know everything.
