It is not my intention that 'idea' of his 'listening' be condescending so much as true. There isn't any way hecklers from #Occupy could pay the President a greater tribute than being at a speech. Sincerely. He proved to them this evening he is a participant in understanding their needs. Not only that, but he signed some helpful Executive Orders, which he didn't mention.
The Republicans on the other hand have only insults and really stupid 'ego defense' comments about the protesters. There really is no comparison to the response the protesters are getting from the President and his administration and the response of Republicans.
The Republicans are not going to deal with the reality facing the country, they are simply laying blame at President Obama's feet while obstructing every measure he has put forward to change the circumstances people are facing. Calling the protesters bums and lazy and O'Reilly stating 'its over, they are gone,' are wishes and not the truth. The Republicans wish these citizens were bums, lazy and gone.
President Obama is the people's President. He always has been. I am not worried about a #Occupy Protest showing up at his public appearances. He has a dialogue for them when no one else does.
I find it really interesting though that #Occupy Movement is showing up everywhere, even at the Republican Debate. The Movement are the 99%, there are plenty to go around and they are being heard everywhere. That was really cool. New Hampshire must have more members than anyone recognizes for them to be so distributed to functions of both parties.
Nice! Congratulations! Absolutely. Who knew two months on the movement would be what it has become?
Obama visits NH, urges passage of Jobs Act (click title to entry - thank you)
MANCHESTER — He may be trailing in the polls in New Hampshire, but you'd never know it from the enthusiastic reception President Barack Obama received at Manchester High School Central on Tuesday.
It was Obama's first visit to the state in nearly two years, and his first to Manchester since becoming President in 2008.
He began his speech at Central with a few shout-outs.
“Hello, Little Green,” he yelled to wild applause, referring to Central's team name...
