I do love these PR campaigns from the left wings wackos. They will muster so much support for Obama and the Dems in 2012 election





It has been a rough day for those who live and work in and around the Financial (http://www.debatepolicy.com/#) District as thousands of Occupy Wall Street (http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/11/17/protesters-bringing-message-underground-with-plan-to-occupy-the-subway/) protesters descended on the area for their so-called “Day of Action.” (http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/11/17/ows-protesters-ready-for-day-of-action-across-all-5-boroughs/)

The day of protests throughout the city planned by demonstrators began with a morning march

The protesters said their actions were designed to galvanize public support for their cause. However, it created the opposite sentiment among many who live and work in the area.Protestors chanting “Wall Street’s closed” tried to keep many from going to work by forming a human chain near the New York Stock Exchange (http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/11/16/ows-protesters-calling-for-day-of-action-following-loss-of-camp-in-zuccotti-park/).

“I don’t care, I don’t care,” one yelled at a protester. “I want to get to work.”

“They’re making it harder for the average guy to make a living,” said another man. “They’re not hurting banks, they’re just hurting the regular guy.”

“This is horrible,” said one woman. “I’m waiting for the tanks to come rolling in.”

Some even charged protesters after they wouldn’t let them through their linked arms.

One woman trying to get to work was even reportedly knocked down by protesters about a block from the NYSE (http://www.debatepolicy.com/#).

NYSE trader Basile Nahas said he still feels unsafe despite the police presence.

“There were large crowds of people pushing and shoving and it was almost like being in the mosh pit of a rock concert,” he said. “It was a little scary.”

Nahas said he too had to push his way into the exchange this morning.
