Obama's connection to Protesters

It's no wonder that Obama supports the Occupy Wall Street protesters.  I am sure that he is just gushing with pride.  Remember, he proudly stated that he was a community organizer.  Well, according to this article,  (Photo proof included in article) "Obama personally helped plan one of UNO’s most confrontational actions of the eighties [in 1988]: a break-in meant to intimidate a coalition of local business and neighborhood leaders into dropping a landfill expansion deal." 

Also reported in the same article' "State Sen. Barack Obama and Fr. Michael Pfleger led a protest in January 2000 against the payday loan industry demanding the State of Illinois to regulate loan businesses. (NBC 5 Week of January 3, 2000)"

It doesn't end there.  Barney Frank is also involved.  According to this article,  "Far left Rep. Barney Frank, the author of the Dodd-Frank Bill and one of the top villains behind the mortgage crisis, supports the Occupy Wall Street movement so much that his staff helped organize the Occupy New Bedford protest on Saturday. They even planned the protest or coincide with a Frank speaking engagement in the area."

Now things are beginning to escalate.  It is no wonder that this is happening in California.  After all, isn't that the place where most riots begin.  Question is, will this spread into other "occupations"?  According to this article,  "Police fired tear gas and sound grenades to disperse hundreds of anti-Wall Street protesters in Oakland, near San Francisco, an AFP photographer said."

"The protesters later regrouped and started hurling eggs at the riot police, who responded by firing paint-balls at them."


Let's use some common sense here.  We have the right to protests, but, rioting does nothing but cost all of us more money.  We all have to pay for the extra police to attempt to maintain the civility of those who protest, but, we also have to pay for all the damange they do.
