That was someone else.<br /><br />I've criticized the Occupiers for being unfocused, but <a href="http://coupmedia.org/occupywallstreet/occupy-wall-street-official-demands-2009" rel="nofollow">they're working on it</a>.<br /><br />As for unsavory types attending, no one can control that. I went to the Occupy Portland rally over the weekend and was repulsed to find 9-11 conspiracy nuts and Ron Paul cultists there. It's hard to keep them out, but I don't think they were winning any converts.<br /><br />Obama of all people should recognize a mass popular movement when he sees one.
