President Obama hugs an increasingly unpopular, vulgar, and lawless movement. The Hill reports that after President Obama was heckled by protesters at an event in New Hampshire, he said:
“I appreciate you guys making your point; let me go ahead and make mine,” Obama said before continuing his speech. “I'll listen to you, you listen to me, OK?” A few minutes later, Obama acknowledged the Occupy protest movement again, saying: “You are the reason I ran for office.”
Matthew Continetti writes on the Occupy movement in this week's issue of THE WEEKLY STANDARD: " Anarchy in the U.S.A."

And Obama's full quote:
“Families like yours, young people like the ones here today — including the ones who were just chanting at me — you’re the reason that I ran for office in the first place.”
