Spontaneous spending protests

[saddlebum]

The TV is full of people marching in protest of the unfairness of the proposed Obama spending and bailing out of banks, bad housing loans, incompetent automobile manufacturers, corrupt CEO's...........there's a long list.

The first thing to enter my mind was; I wonder how many of these folks voted for Obama...........popularity going into the tank but there are too many democrats.

Open public revolt against the administration ? May I ride my horse in the march in Demopolis ?

The protest where not spontaneous, they where well planned . It is called "The Tea Party". They happened all over the USA today and again tomorrow. There where two in Alabama. Michelle Malkin Tea Party photo album: Fiscal responsibility is the new counterculture

Love to see you ride in the public revolt parade!
I'd have to walk. But if you don't mind I'd rather walk in front of your horse.

These protests are the very reason our President was crying " the sky is falling"!
It led the Congress to hurriedly pass the "Spending Bill".

There was no time to organize any opposition.

Our biggest problem is we have no confidence in our leadership.
Our GNP only dropped 6% last year. Not enough on its own to cause the problems we see now.
There is still money out there, but with no confidence people are frightened to spend money they may need if times get worse.

No matter whats going on...I think when it pertains to that amount of money he should've let the congress make a clear-minded decision and not call them irresponsible by wanting to take a few days to think it over. When they okayed it, the bill sat on his desk for 72 hrs before he signed it. IMO, he is a salesman and he wanted them to jump on the deal as quickly as possible before reading all the fine print.
