They are frustrated by it and they will continue to be frustrated by it until they get the sense that everyone is playing by the same rules.

Barack Obama, regarding the mounting frustration of Occupy Wall Street protesters, and United States citizens in general, caused by poor economic policies

Call it semantics, but I am not frustrated by the sense that everyone is not playing by the same rules. I’m frustrated that everyone is not playing by the same rules. Get it? If the solution is to market to me and say “Everything is OK!” and not actually fix the problem, I will remain frustrated. 

The Occupy Wall Street movement is comprised of folks tired of being told “Everything is OK!” It’s not. It’s time for some policy change, not a marketing campaign.
