Asked about the protests during his appearance before Congress’s Joint Economic Committee, Mr. Bernanke said people are blaming “with some justification the problems in the financial sector for getting us into this mess.” “At some level, I can’t blame them,” he said, pointing to an unemployment rate that remains stuck above 9%. Americans are “dissatisfied with the policy response here in Washington,” the Fed chief warned lawmakers Bernanke had better stop worrying about upsetting these Agitprop conmen that are unemployed because it suits them and lost nothing in the crises because they’re tax eaters that contribute no more than their greed and demands to be taken care of. It is time he get concerned with the real victims here. The hard working Americans that have watched their jobs disappear. Their cost of living skyrocket. And the value of their dollars plummet.

I don't know. Judging by the average age of these turds, I'm guessing they are upset because mommy and daddy told them that they won't be supporting them any more, and to go get a job.
Now that their savior has failed them in the job market, they are looking for a scapegoat, because the smartest, coolest President in history can't have messed this up, it must be someone elses fault!
The "protests" are astroturf, probably organized by Obama's allies to make it appear his class warfare crap has wide support. As for the current mess, the regime uncertainty created by the Obama administration is as much to blame as anything for the current unemployment rate. If Bernanke, the great student of the first Great Depression, had actually thought "outside the box" about that disaster, he might realize it. Obviously he didn't understand the first Great Depression as well as he thought he did, for his "solutions" to the second one have done ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING BUT MAKE IT WORSE!
