Day Five in my Ten Occupy Wall Street Demonstrators in Ten Days series: Ginger.

President Obama acknowledged the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations in his news conference yesterday morning where he said “The protesters are giving voice to a more broad-based frustration about how our financial system works.” Reporter for Mother Jones, Andy Kroll compared the occupy Wall Street protests to the ones in Wisconsin earlier this year in a new article posted yesterday entitled “From Wisconsin to Wall Street, an Economic Reckoning.” Finally, the Author, Naomi Klein spoke at the Occupy Wall Street demonstration in New York last night.
