OWS protester hands note to Obama

http://thelastword.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/11/22/8959904-ows-protester-hands-note-to-obama

An Occupy Wall Street supporter literally slipped President Obama a note today while shaking hands on the campaign trail in Manchester, New Hampshire. The tiny piece of paper read as follows:

"Mr. President: Over 4,000 peaceful protesters have been arrested. While banksters continue to destroy the American economy with impunity. You must stop the assault on our 1st ammendment rights. Your silence sends a message that police brutality is a . Banks got bailed out. We got sold out."

An old school thow-back to get the president's attention. It worked. Check out a close-up after the jump.
