Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. —Barry Hussein SoetoroDemocrats got the change that they wanted doesn’t anyone remember, ‘We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.’ (see 16sec video)
The president and Liberal Democrats have unleashed a radical liberal agenda of uber-spending, nanny-state, homosexuality, thought-police and socialized medicine on the American people.
With all of the just mentioned you’d think that Liberals would be happy. But they’re not. No after imposing their agenda on the rest of us, they have to find a way to paid for it all. And they can’t pay for it unless they raise taxes.
Oh, I know that they say they would only raise taxes on millionaires and billionaires but the truth is all of us will be taxed for what Barry Hussein Soetoro and Democrats has unleashed on this country.
And now it’s the American fall or Occupy Wall Street. The same ones who were chanting hope and changes just a few years ago are now chanting, ‘The people united will never be defeated,’ on the Brooklyn bridge. (see 2:52min video)

That’s right down with the man! But wait a minute. If we are the ones we’ve been waiting for, then that would mean that we are in power. And if we are in power then technically we are the man. How ironic that we are protesting ourselves as we occupy the streets. We are protesting ourselves because our president is in bed with Wall Street.
In fact, president Soetoro has been giving billions of taxpayer’s money to big Corporations and big banks. When Soetoro came into office the debt held by you and me, the public was $6.31 trillion dollars but after about 3 years in office, the radical spending agenda of president Soetoro has risen to 9.75 trillion dollars. This president has added 3.44 trillion dollars of new debt to every man, woman and child in America.
Despite new found concern with the debt, overhang stifling economic growth, President [Soetoro’s] record falls far short of his rhetoric. Let’s review the decisions made by President [Soetoro] and Congressional Democrats over the past couple of years, and the disappointing results of their policy choices:

Ironically, Democrats, Liberal anarchists and street occupying protesters are protesting what their Liberal agenda has wrought on America. They are the ones they are protesting. The Wall Street Occupiers are protesting themselves, they are protesting their president they are protesting their Liberal agenda.
Liberals got everything they wanted the power, the prestige and the control. And it was their social and economic agenda that crashed the system. They are in actuality protesting themselves.
They are the ones that they are protesting.
