President Obama Addresses Occupy Wall Street on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Occupy Wall Street movement was a topic of conversation Tuesday
night when President Obama appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."

Jay Leno: “As president you look at your window, you see this Occupy
Wall Street movement, what do you make of it?”

President Barack Obama: “Look, people are frustrated and that
frustration has expressed itself in a lot of different ways. It
expressed itself in the Tea Party and it’s expressing itself in Occupy
Wall Street. I do think what this signals is people in
leadership–whether it’s corporate leadership, leadership in the
banks, leaders in Washington–everybody needs to understand that the
American people feel like nobody is looking out for them right now.”
