“I understand the frustrations being expressed in those protests. … In some ways, they’re not that different from some of the protests that we saw coming from the Tea Party.  Both on the left and the right, I think people feel separated from their government. They feel that their institutions aren’t looking out for them,” Mr. Obama said


President Obama also took the opportunity to plug his jobs plan suggesting it would address a lot of the protesters' concerns.
