Obama embraces Occupation Wall Street.

This past weekend the protests that originated in New York better known as Occupation Wall Street spread to cities all over the world. This triggered a flurry of attention by the media. Some world leaders spoke out against those who chose to get involved in this anarchist movement, while others weren’t so forceful. As usual, instead of discouraging individuals from targeting the section of the population that pay the most taxes even if some consider this to be corporate greed President Obama chose to embrace the members and rhetoric of this radical movement. In fact, it should be alarming that even China who currently practices some of the harshest forms of repression applauded Occupation Wall Street’s efforts to seek economic reform.
President Obama managed to include the members of Occupation Wall Street in his speech at the unveiling of the MLK monument in Washington this weekend. He made an analogy between those who are currently fighting against capitalism, free enterprise, and the ability to be successful with those who were part of the civil rights movement. I still insist that Barack Obama hasn’t a clue what Dr. King dream was, and I will assume that this blatant misunderstanding has to do with his lack of caring no t ignorance. Dr. King spoke out against those who chose to view race as a qualification. In his Dream speech he proposes the idea that it would be ideal if we lived in a color blind society. The complete opposite of what the President has done so far.
Barack Obama has used his race as a political tool. He has resorted to this sort of tactic out of desperation since his political strategies have failed miserably. Dr. King’s style of protesting resembles that of the Tea Party more than that of Occupy Wall Street. Those who were part of the Civil Rights movement didn’t want hand outs. They want an opportunity to have an opportunity to succeed. Those in Occupation Wall Street are advocating for the elimination of a group of individuals who are now enjoying the fruit of their labor. They are advocating that they won’t tolerate a government that doesn’t give in to their economic demands.
Barack Obama’s reelection situation must be quite dire if he is reaching that far out. The unveiling of the monument should have been all about MLK and the civil rights movement instead of the President’s reelection bid. If those involved in Occupation Wall Street had a dream they would work hard to pursue it, and one day they would have a chance to reap the reward of being successful. Instead, they aspire to get as many as possible from socialist ideologues like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer.
