Obama is the biggest beneficiary of Wall Street donations. And its biggest benefactor.
So, no.
Well I am very supportive of OWS but I would rather vomit and roll around in it than vote for Obama again!
How about asking the question "Does Obama support OWS Yes or No?"
I suspect that a substantial minority of OWS activists will probably vote for Obama, though not work for him, ring door bells for him, etc. I don't think support for Obama would ever reach consensus at OWS or even a bare majority if OWS worked on bare majorities.
ows doesn't follow leaders. how many times must this be repeated? this is something new, wait and see.

no. This is not about any candidate or party. If they represented the people then OWS would not be needed
OWS seems to support his ideals..well this forum rules does.Just don't mention Ron

DemocratPRO,
Why is that important for you to know? Does the Koch brothers support OWS? Do any of the Republican Presidential want-a-bees support OWS?
A silly question, in a way, given that the movement is made up of individuals.
OWS is full of individual leaders. You must look to these individuals for your answers, not the group as a whole.
Well, I honestly only support him because he is the lesser of the two evils...he has shown lately he doesn't have a strong back bone, and he will give in to the needs of corporations if he can get something out of it. It seems that during the time of count down to default there was the assumption that Obama didn't push the red button because he feared it would look like he was abusing his power as a president (in other words he was afraid to look bad for his campaign for re-election). And as far as I could see, the OWS movement is not swayed by any party. Their goal is not to have X president in office, but rather to hold anyone and everyone that is in office accountable for any wrong doing (or something like that).
