Obama needs his base angry (all fired up and ready to vote) to win this election. Occupy
showed Obama that their is a great deal of unbridled anger at the growing inequality in the USA. And that the GOP have 'bought' government. Mitt is getting out there and spreading the meme that when Obama talks about the rich or inequality, he is talking class warfare and that Americans don't begrudge the rich. Which they don't & have not in the past and what Romney is banking on. The Occupy sign "I don't mind that you are rich, I mind that you are buying my government" says it all for me. How do we make that point? That it is not about the rich, it is about governance and policy being unfair to the rest of the country?
