President Obama, Democrats Support Occupy Wall Street

In the current climate, citizens are increasingly unsatisfied with the economy and the workings of Capitalism. The public voice is growing louder and becoming impossible for even politics to ignore. All over the country, demonstrations have formed as part of a faceless, leaderless movement called Occupy Wall Street, an entity determined to call attention to the necessity of reforming Capitalism. Those who are active in Occupy Wall Street believe that our nation's economy is in such poor form at this time because it is a tyrannical establishment, where the vast majority of and power lies in the hands of the top 1% - the largest corporations in America. The protestors are mostly radical liberals seeking change, not through the government, but through the pathway of action known as 'grassroots mobilization.'

President Obama and other democratic party leaders have stated that they support themovement, describing it as the voice of the frustrated public and as a call from the masses that the government must heed. Many democratic leaders believe that the movement will bring many people to align themselves with the democratic party, although there is a measure of concern that such a movement being labeled as 'democratic' will give the party as a whole a radical image and put off more independent voters in the upcoming election. Republican party leaders have spoken against the radical movement and have criticized it for being a mass of disorganized panic and frustration.
