I am in Kansas City, MO for the weekend and the local news here showed a protest where hundreds of people gathered in one of the KS suburbs of Kansas City to express their dissatisfaction with the Obama administration. Unfortunately, I was not able to find a link to the story but it is amazing that people are already protesting his government after only a couple months. Is this happening in other parts of the country as well?

There were "tea parties" across the country a couple of weeks ago but the leftist media either didn't cover it or gave it only minimal mention. Local news coverage was about all there was although I saw a short clip of the San Diego tea party on Fox News.

More "tea parties" and other protests are planned for the future.

Here is only one link America’s Tea Party

Protest what?

Where were the protesting right wingers when Bush took us into Two Wars and drove this economy off the cliff?

Protesting the man that trying to fix this economy is just dumb.

Obama: "I will expand the war in Afghanastan as needed to ensure victory."

Exactly who dropped the ball in Afghanistan, to focus on a country that didn't attack us? Good ole G.W. Bush.

There would be no need to expand the war, if Bush would have keep the heat on the people that actually attacked us.

On April 1 they are telling people to send 1 tea bag to the WH in protest. They picked April 1st so it will arrive by April 15, 2009.

Send With a note or not but to send a tea bag to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Washington, DC 20500.

Luckily, you don't have to protest miles away from any venue in "Free Speech Zones" as we had to during the BushCo administration.

Don't you see the difference?

Its all a metter of what you think we needed to attack. The taliban did not attack us.In fact they were just like so many that have tried to control the country;they didn't have control of area were training took place by others. Are you saying we should how attack Pakistan because the taliban are there as well as the supply of arms. Its hard to say one thing is wrong when you defend another just like it.Either you approve both or None IMO

Classic example of a Obama supporter who can't admit when he's done wrong. Keep your head in the sand....lol
