    The thing is though, and im sorry if im wrong (im not that knowledgeable about American Politics) but Bush was 'your party'. I can understand why you would have no problems with people demonstrating against him. Because you could say 'Tough shit, he's in office, deal with it' then sit back and smile, despite the entire world knowin he was about as smart as a box of Dog biscuits.

    Now again im not too upto date but what is all this money being spent on? If its hookers and parties on the White House lawn then fair enough. If its on things that will benefit the country (if not the world) but you dont agree with for whatever reason then again i think thats just something u should accept. If representatives should obey then Bush would have gone and sat in a play-pen and left the country to someone who knew what they were doing.

    Lets not forget that there are other reasons some are protesting. Basically the fact that Obama isnt a White, God-fearin kinda person and his name is suspiciously close to both 'Osama' and 'A Bomber'. From what ive seen he's a very intelligent guy who isnt just gonna squander billions on nothing but hes being hounded by the ignorant and the bigoted whipped up into a fear frenzy by the last regime.

    If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.

    These protests are basically the cumulative anger of Bush's last year and Obama's first. Which is why you are getting so much Bypartisan support. Thing is that the Government is spending trillions and trillions of dollars, that the Anger toward it is finally boiling over.

    It being beneficial is pretty much relative, as for some things like Parks and Roads will probably be taken up by Illegal Immigrants and will not stimulate anything. There is also the very sizeable amount of money that will not be spent until 2011 which most likely the recession will be over with. And then there is the stupidity of spending it to produce Universal Health Care, which in the middle of a Economic Crisis should not be a priority.

    Well it is pretty ignorant to dismiss them like that. But there have been some very very horrid things Obama has been doing these last few months. And I mean nauseating horrible things that I would rather not get in discussion with. I would rather not turn this discussion into Obama as so far he has been a nightmare of a President and I would rather not spend pages venting.
