A protester handed President Barack Obama a note while shaking hands along a rope line in New Hampshire today.  Photographer Charlie Dharapak smartly zoomed in so you can read the note for yourself:

Over 4000 peaceful protestors have been arrested. While bankers continue to destroy the economy with impunity. You must stop the assaul on our 1st amendment rights. You silence sends message that police brutality is accepted. “Banks got bailed out. We got sold out.”

Dhaparak likely had to move, slightly to the left, to get that shot.  Which means the President must have held it up long enough to read it.

President Obama, please stop being a politician and start being a leader.
