This is getting old. I guess this is the "CHANGE" Obama was referring to. Union organizers hiring people to
riot and protest in Wisconsin, Ohio and other states, teachers walking off the job to join the protests;
OWS protesters creating filthy, grimy messes in our cities; cities cannot hold Christmas lighting ceremonies due to the protesters; people avoiding the downtown areas due to the protesters...
Instead of protecting taxpaying citizens, police in riot gear have to "babysit" the protesters.....
Gee thanks, Obama.
