President Obama received a note from a protester after his jobs speech in Manchester, New Hampshire this afternoon. The note tells the president to “stop the assault on our 1st amendment rights,” and “Banks got bailed out. We got sold out.” Obama addressed the movement directly after he was mic checked during his speech, saying, “You’re the reason that I ran for office in the first place.” See the note handed to Obama:

6. Yah, it couldn't be that there are a gazillion cameras around

Google is sneaking into your house at night for the improved version of Streetview, where you can go inside the buildings.

How many people were at this event? A couple hundred?

How many cameras were with those people? Dozens.

How many pictures do you suppose those dozens of cameras took?

I guess all this was staged.

10. “You’re the reason that I ran for office in the first place.”

Why? Because he thought that we'd all be gullible enough to accept words over deeds? What a bag of empty rhetoric.
