Editorial: Obamavilles

From The Trentonian:
Someone came up with a new name for the Occupy Wall Street public nuisance protest encampments.

"Obamavilles."

Will the name catch on the way "Hoovervilles" did for less pestiferous encampments back during the Great Depression?

Maybe not. But if "Obamavilles" does catch on, their namesake will have largely himself to blame.

It was President Obama's demogogic rhetoric about the rich supposedly not paying their "fair share" of taxes that preceded the Occupy Wall Street encampments and likely encouraged them.
Squattervilles serve little purpose but strain local budgets - pottsmerc.com
