Morning Joe says that we should be protesting "Washington"
Someone should tell him that we have tried that, in fact we try it every two years. Here's your note Joe, this is so much bigger than a protest, we are setting out to fundamentally change Washington.

We've tried dealing with Washington -
But got nowhere so now we have to go over their heads and speak directly to their owners.

24. Financial Capitalism's Managers Caused the DEPRESSION OF 2008.
How hard was that to grok ???

And yes, Bush and Paulson made sure these frauds got paid extra money on top of it.

2. How?
Because if you don't pressure Washington (whether or not it's been successful in the past) you won't change any of the legislation or Court rulings that will be necessary to implement the changes you want. Unless you have another idea?

12. Morning Joe doesn't get it
Washington listens to Wall Street. So making things enough for Wall Street . . . Hey! We didn't create this "middle man" - Washington did - so now they to deal with the middle man on our terms.

17. It appears that the Pols and MSM cannot cast their thinking outside the walls of tradition.
OWS is over that old wall and trudging toward something new...

20. It's their new meme. Wingnuts are posting this all over the innertubes.
Stupid idiots. They have no idea that protesters have been in DC along with hundreds of other locations around the world.

22. Joe is a complete hypocrite.
He criticizes this President for "Not being a leader or being unfit to be President" that basically "he does not know what he is doing" then calls out the President for his economic team??? As if Joe would have had it any other way.

Morning Joe is an arm of the Republican party, its a simple fact and Joe knows it.

It reminds me of the COS debate and wether Emmanuel or Daley, Emmanuel was a loose cannon in Joe's eyes who was hostile to buisiness and Daley is too cozy with Wall St???

WTF, how do you like your eggs Joe? Let's just make them in all styles and you can choose your daily pick.

32. They're protesting both as they should
Many of the Republicans have been saying this and they have a partial point although that doesn't mean the Wall Street protests are wrong. Wall Street has taken over and Washington is a fully owned subsidiary of Wall Street, or something like that.
