Would it because their leader is the same guy that gave the bailouts to the banks they are pissed off at. Amazing how these people, have no idea, what's really going on. They're not being lead by their own reasons, they are being used by unions. The same people that their leader supports.........if they would more more about their selves they could figure it out.

Facts are facts Roy. Pick your own source if you want to refute the numbers. Reagan did triple the debt, and Bush doubled it, and that's just a fact.

Somebody needs to use this image as a protest sign and go stand in front of NBC News with it.

Then again there may have been many anti-Obama signs but the pro-Obama media blacked them all out. But this wouldn't surprise anyone, such is the sad state of media in the U.S.

Lol, no, really?

By your logic here if there were no anti-Wall Street signs that would be sufficient to express disapproval of Wall Street. But we see a plethora of signs denouncing corporations and Wall Street.

Again, really?

Why don't these people who have problem with the establishment, Government, and everything AMERICAN, that they hate, just do us a favor and leave. Hey they can go to Mexico, sure they would be happy to put them up, give them jobs, food and the basics to live.

Hate this Country that much, think we are so beneath ourselves, then freaking leave.

Obama's just as guilty as the rest of them--remember? Are you seeing signs protesting John Boehner either? Both sides are to blame, because both are guilty, over decades, of letting this happen. It's kind of pointless to protest individual politicians when they're all doing it. The system needs to be changed, and new people in office aren't going to make any difference at all--no matter which party they're in--if we don't fix it. Big money is the only consistent player in this whole mess--they're the ones who bought influence--and both political parties are going to have to change the system to get them out.
