Meanwhile, arrests are made overnight at the President's campaign headquarters, in both Oregon and California.

Police arrested a handful of protesters at Mr. Obama's headquarters in Oakland, California.

This is video from the scene. Six protestors were filed into a police vehicle and taken to jail.

Police in Portland also took six protesters into custody, on a criminal trespass charge.

Officials say the group was protesting the imprisonment of Bradley Manning, who leaked classified military documents to the website Wikileaks.

    Bradley Manning was kept in solitary confinement for over 200 days before ever being charged with anything. The only reason he was removed from solitary confinement was public outcry!

    Yet no arrest of Obama and Holder for lying to Congress about "Fast and Furious" and no one facing conspiracy and especially murder of Brian Terry?? If the top leo in America is crooked, who arrests and prosecutes the top criminal?

    DHS, FBI, ATF have lost all semblance of operating in an ethical, moral manner and should be disbanded. Military coup until new bodies can be placed in positions of importance.
