The fact that Soros, a Wall Street billionaire criminally charged with insider trading, and MoveOn.org, a front group for the Wall Street-financed Obama administration, are now joining forces to voice their “support” for an anti-Wall Street movement, should set alarm bells ringing.Too bad,the original movement was great,now Obama and Pelosi have embraced it and tried to wrap their arms around it,the movement died...Obama is a wall street tool...how is that hope/change working out for you.
