I'm not surprised at the extreme short sightedness of most Obama supporters concerning this 'protest'. I'm also not surprised at the vitriol displayed by some of the more ardent liberals here. What I am surprised about though, is the blatant ignorance being displayed by those on the left with the declarations that all of these 'tea parties' are nothing more than a partisan display of the right wing cabal.

Any group can start a protest with a general theme, but what makes it noticeable is the other groups and concerns that the initial group attracts. Do people on here really think that the only people going to these protests are nothing more than racist Obama haters? You have people from all walks of life coming to these with their own concerns over the monstrous bloom of government, the extraordinary and overly frivolous spending, the continuation of policies from the Bush administration that some of those participating protested against back then as well, and the obvious about faces concerning campaign promises by Barack Obama in regards to administration pursuits....all in the name of the American people.

With every single day of the near total mismanagement at Treasury, people are getting extremely upset. More jobs are being lost, yet they hear from the government how the economy is getting to turn around because the market is ticking upwards. These main street people who are losing jobs don't have an investment in the market, therefore their economy is not getting better. They want the administration to see that this is not getting better. They want the administration to know that it is handling the economic crisis in ways that have failed in the past. They want the administration to know that they are getting ready to draw the line.

People voted for change and they are not seeing the change and hope that was promised to them.

To dismiss the concerns of so many Americans that are outside of that 'right wing cabal' is going to hurt the democratic party in the coming elections.
