Obama Yet Again Compares Occupy Wall Street To The Tea Party…

The Oakland riot police beg to differ.

(Politico) — In his chat with Jay Leno on Tuesday, President Obama was asked (not for the first time) about the “Occupy Wall Street” protests. While he said again that the movement is based in “frustration,” he told Leno that it’s similar to the tea party.

“Look, people are frustrated, and that frustration expresses itself in a lot of different ways. It expressed itself in the tea party. It’s expressing itself in Occupy Wall Street,” Obama said. “Everybody needs to understand that the American people feel that no one is looking out for them right now.”

It’s not monumental that Obama made the comparison with the tea party, but it reflects a small progression since he was asked about the protests at the beginning of the month. At an Oct. 6 press conference, he was asked specifically if Occupy Wall Street could be like the tea party; Obama didn’t answer. In an interview on Oct. 18, though, Obama said that the demonstrations are “not that different from some of the protests that we saw coming from the tea party.”

    Everything is a lie from the Obama administration. They hope to win by constantly lying and tricking everyone. They know their policies are a disaster but that is ultimately what they want because they hate America. Sadly for them, when most people see their finances in big trouble next November, they will think about Obama in a negative way when they head to the polls.

    EXACTLY LIKE THE TEA PARTY.
    Except for the hate, the arrests and the stench.

    “Obama said that the demonstrations are “not that different from some of the protests that we saw coming from the tea party.””

    Other than the anti-Semitism, communism, rape, perversion, trespassing, attacking law enforcement, vagrants, deranged, drug abuse, sexual harassment and treason, he’s absolutely right!

    The left want their own version of the TEA Party so bad they can taste it, so they try to tell people this mob madness is just like it,

    Problem is, people know they never saw scenes like they see when they look at these squatters.

    Another attempt to change our memories and our history.

    The OWS is a preplanned event by the TPTB to distract from the coming economic collapse worldwide. Polices will be put into place for the “protection” of the people. Prepare accordingly.

    Making that comparison is the ultimate insult to the TEA Party. What a #$@!ing @sshole. :)

    I can’t wait to vote!

    Obama is not trying to elevate the OWLers, he knows that’s a loser. But he can degrade the Tea Party by trying to create a connection.

    I believe the Tea Party is not frustrated, it is not looking for more help from government, instead it is appalled with the excessive govenment snd wasteful spending, as well as the direction the country has been led in.

    The Occupiers are like the Tea Party? I don`t recall odumbo ever demonizing the Occupiers.
    I also don`t recall Acorn ever financing the Tea Party.
    STFU odumbo. You`re toast and you know it.

    Just more BS from the All High Minister of Propoganda.
    If they keep on repeating it, maybe someone will believe it.

    Just like all the other ones: “Pass this Bill”, “We can’t wait”, etc.

    So, Nappy has put them on the terrorist list? Or has Pelosi called them Nazis? Or perhaps Anderson Cooper has coined an appropriate gay slur to describe them?

    Flashback..

    ‘When hundreds of tea-party protesters – including many elderly women – gathered outside a civic center where President Obama was giving a public speech Wednesday, they were surprised to be greeted by police dispatched in full riot gear.

    Obama spoke in Quincy, Ill., at the Oakley Lindsay Civic Center. The event was open to the public, and about 2,000 tickets were distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis.

    About 200 protesters peacefully rallied outside the civic center, carrying signs that read “Give Us Liberty Not Debt” and yellow “Don’t Tread On Me” flags, the Quincy Herald-Whig reported. Protesters waved U.S. flags and shouted “Remember in November” and “You work for us.”

    ‘Look at these extremist maniacs!’

    After Obama’s motorcade arrived, a Secret Service agent instructed protesters to move across the street. The crowd began singing “God Bless, America” and the National Anthem. Quincy Deputy Police Chief Ron Dreyer ordered police in full riot gear to march up the street and stand between the tea partiers and the civic center.

    Snipers were also spotted on the rooftop of the building.’

    This jackazz doubles down on blatant lies and no one calls him out on it. Almost cult-like imho.

    Unreal.

    Unreal is right, these thugs are Obama’s cronies, ACORN.

    ““Everybody needs to understand that the American people feel that no one is looking out for them right now.””

    Umm, how does that reflect on the man in the Whitehouse?

    Is Obama mentally ill?

    Good information, Southern Wolf.

    I have to say, though, that it’s different when a president is on-site. He hasn’t shown up at OWS, has he?

  19. DisturbedMary says:
    October 26, 2011 at 3:16 pm

    Hoopster will do or say anything won’t he? I’m guessing he’ll try to unionize the military. Maybe by executive order?

    Know what else this tells me? Never assume police to be on our side.

    Sort a like calling Chistians Talaban. It doesnt offend the talaban or athiests and usually no one calls them on it.

  22. S. Wolf says:
    October 26, 2011 at 3:41 pm

    vagabond a-z trader III.. up to a point that is true but police tend to be on the side of people who don’t give them trouble, and the cops at the TEA party rally were embarrassed at what they’d been ordered to do..

    Well, except for the drumming, rapes, drugs, defication, camping in a public place, and turning the city into a rat infested dump – yeah, I can see the resemblance.

    NOT!

    @wodun – Is Obama mentally ill?

    Yes, he is.

    Tea Party represents the successful of America

    OWS represents the failures of America

    The former represents hard work while

    The latter represents those on government handouts.

    Geeeee, I wonder which of the two has some credibility???

  25. Spurwing Plover says:

    None in the tea parties have stunk up any place with their offensive BO unlike these bunch of reptiles and rats have done
