I see a bunch of people who are very scared and lashing out. We were told by President Bush and his advisors that we were on the brink of another great depression and must spend billions to bail out Wall Street. We are told by President Obama that because of the irresponsible behavior of the bankers we must spend billions more to avoid catastrophe. Also that without health care reform the country will soon go broke.
President Obama is an easy target for many of those angry people. To many he is not really one of us. He is black and has a Muslim name. I believe this too frightens many to extreme rhetoric and yes racism has something to do with it.
