Title: 'If you're not rich, don't blame Wall St, blame yourself': Herman Cain slams protesters for trying to cover up Obama's failures

  • New York protests centred in Manhattan's Zucotti Park now in third week
  • Demonstrators angry at state of America's economic and political systems
  • Organisers want students at college to walk out of class this afternoon
  • Big march planned for Thursday on Freedom Plaza in Washington D.C.


GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain has risked the wrath of Occupy Wall Street protesters by fuming that they are only holding demostrations to distract from President Obama's failed policies.

The 65-year-old businessman told protesters: 'Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks, if you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself. It is not someone's fault if they succeeded.'

Meanwhile around $35,000 has now been sent to the protesters who have been camped out in Manhattan, New York, for almost three weeks now - angry at the state of U.S. politics and economics.

'I don't have facts to back this up, but I happen to believe that these demonstrations are planned and orchestrated to distract from the failed policies of the Obama administration,' Mr Cain told the Wall Street Journal.

The protests are expected to swell with reinforcements as more groups head towards Zucotti Park, showing the demonstration that started out small is showing no signs of losing steam.

‘(The donations) are coming from everywhere,’ student Victoria Sobel, 21, who is on the group’s finance committee, told the New York Post. ‘I'm sure we're on the cusp of much larger donations.’

Among those planning to join the clamour on Wednesday are the liberal group MoveOn.org and community organisations like the Working Families Party and United NY.

The growing crowd will also include members of the Chinatown Tenants Union and the Transit Workers Union.

Pete Dutro, 36, who is also on the committee, told the New York Post they want to be 'transparent' and use the money 'effectively'.

Meanwhile organisers have called for students at college campuses across the nation to walk out of class in protest at 2pm on Wednesday.

‘They're capturing a feel of disempowerment, feeling like nobody is listening to them'

‘They're capturing a feel of disempowerment, feeling like nobody is listening to them,’ a United NY spokesman said. ‘What do you do when no one is listening to you? You speak up, you take action.’

In addition organisers in Washington D.C. are planning a march at Freedom Plaza on Thursday.

The groups will embark on yet another march in Manhattan, this one from Foley Square, which was named for ‘Big Tom’ Foley - a former blacksmith's helper who became a prominent Democrat.

The marchers will head to Zuccotti Park - the unofficial headquarters where protesters have been camped out in sleeping bags. Some organisers say thousands could show up to the march.

'We want to make sure we have ways of using the money effectively. We are trying to be transparent about it'

Pete Dutro, 36

MoveOn.org is planning a ‘virtual march’ on its website by encouraging people to post photos of themselves with the caption: ‘I'm the 99 per cent’.

This is a reference to those people not among the wealthiest one per cent of Americans and the debate over whether they should be taxed more.

The group's executive director, Justin Ruben, called the protesters ‘brave young people’ who have successfully inspired others to join them.

‘From our perspective, we're protesting kind of the greed that led to the collapse of our economy,’ Mr Ruben said. ‘The fact that these banks aren't paying their fair share.’

Many of those who work on Wall Street don't take the protests personally. Some even sympathise.

‘It's really incredible to me, the passion and conviction these people have,’ said Lou Crossin, who works for a company that sells corporate governance research to large investors.

‘I don't think these are violent people. They're just standing up for their beliefs.’

Mr Crossin said the protesters - with their chanting in unison, leafleting and drum circles - reminded him of Jefferson Airplane song lyrics: ‘Look what's happening out in the streets. Got a revolution.’

Sam Schmidt, a lawyer who walks by the park in New York every day, said the protests took him back to when he was a student in 1970 and went to Washington D.C. to oppose the Vietnam war.

‘I lived through the '60s and the '70s, and this is nothing. I think it is well-behaved. We've got a few crazies, but we have a few crazies here anyway,’ he said. ‘It's just reminiscent of my youth.’
