Did they only oppose the wars because Bush was president? Where are the protesters?

Do they not remember this lame Obama promise or is it that they cannot do the math?

I remember it. He lost my support when he changed his tune. I knew he stood for nothing then.

More lies from the orator. Don't worry though his "protestors" will be marching lockstep behind him once again when he makes the same claim next year.

As Obama said...........You can take that to the bank!!!

I have asked this question many times as have my friends.

It has become painfully obvious that the media in this country will do anything to take the emphasis away from all the failures of this current Presidency. I guess they just can't admit their Media God was an illusion.

They are still protesting.

March 2011: Anti-war protesters rally across the USA - USATODAY.com

April 2011: Thousands Show Up At Union Square To Protest Ongoing Wars « CBS New York

July 2011: Stop Bombing Libya Protest in Washington, D.C.

Maybe you don't see them because you want to confirm your incorrect belief that anti-war activists are secretly just anti-Bush?

The first thing Hitler did when he gained power was to create his propoganda ministry.

So they are protesting then? Proves more the media control Obama wields. If Bush were president it would be headline news every day like it was then. Now...........................

There are still plenty of anti-war protesters.


‪March 2010 Antiwar Protests‬‏ - YouTube


‪3/20/2010 Anti-War Protest In Front Of White House Footage 1/4‬‏ - YouTube


‪London Anti-war protest 2010‬‏ - YouTube


‪War Protest Los Angeles March 20, 2010‬‏ - YouTube


‪Iraq Veterans Against the War 3/20/2010‬‏ - YouTube

There is almost certainly a contingent that doesn't care any more that Bush is out of the White House, but there is still a strong anti-war movement that is being ignored just as much as they have been for the past 8 years. Pity, because if people had listened to them we could have spared the lives of thousands of American soldiers, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, and about a trillion dollars in government spending.
