Occupy Wall Street was designed as a bit of a joke that went over way too well and was accidentally very successful because the point it made was so desperately obvious and so clearly missing from the conversation. It was also basically over as soon as it began - the statement "Occupy Wall Street," reinforced by the literal action, was the victory. There was never any "OWS" movement, that was something created later by the hobo's and professional protesters who had nothing better to do.

Occupy Wall Street was designed to get 0bama reelected. The loony Left made him look like a "moderate" by comparison.
That was Obama's Winning Strategy.
