Occupy Wall Street Movement funny, the government just doesn't get it

Robins Commentary --

Occupy Wall Street --

"Occupy Wall Street is leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions. The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%. We are using the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic to achieve our ends and encourage the use of nonviolence to maximize the safety of all participants."

it started in mid-September when protesters marched the streets and has turned into a nationwide phenomenon including one this last weekend in Portland Oregon.

Despite the reasons behind it, it has gotten the attention of some of our political leaders and what's really interesting is some the explanations that are leaders are stating for the reasoning behind these protests.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor called the protesters a "mob" and suggested they had been encouraged by the Obama administration.{CNN}

House Democratic [clueless]leader Nancy Pelosi commented, "God bless them for their spontaneity." {MSNBC}
I am surprised that she also didn't add to the comment, "aren't all those little people cute with their little protests?"

Herman Cain called the protesters "jealous" Americans who "play the victim card.{San Francisco Chronicle}

while reading all of this, play the Carly Simon's song, "you're so vain."

Personally, I think all of the above are just clueless and I think if you look at the big picture, this is the nonviolent revolution that people have been talking about for years.

In my opinion... the government just doesn't get it the fact that the people are sick and tired of the way things are running and how they are not responsive to the people's needs anymore.

I wish I could remember who the representative was a couple months back on the Lars Larson show when Lars was referring to the November 2010 elections about the message that the voters sent.

His guests responded, "what message was that Lars?"

The bottom line in my opinion, no matter what the reasons for the occupy Wall Street, occupy Portland, occupy San Francisco, etc. the real message is being sent is that we as a nation still stand together and as a nation we will be heard.

"United we stand... divided we fall"
