Tea Party Protest-Republicans Trash President Obama     posted on 18th of september, 2009

In all my years of living in Washington D.C. I have never seen such a mean spirited campaign against a president such as the the Republican Party sponsored Tea Party Protest at the U.S. Capitol on 9/12/09. There was a sea of people each one carrying a sign trashing the president calling him everything from a communist, a dirty diaper, and a terrorist. These people represent the 49% vote of the last election and promise to vote him out in 2012. Hindsight is 20/20 but no one is sure if the president is doing the right thing by supporting a controversial health care bill as well as a 13 trillion dollar government spending program.

The question what you do if president of the United States? How could these complex problems best be solved? Would you spend money to get the economy going or...

To suggest that this protest was somehow "Racist" is soooooo wrong, This has to do with the government taking over health care and the out of control spending. - posted by Irisangel on September 20, 2009
I'll tell you what. In all my years of employment, I had many opportunities to select my health care plan from a variety of vendors. In every case, the insurance salesman was able to present me with a Summary of Benefits which was never more than 5 to 10 pages long and a one page summary of cost options (Individual, Spouse, family, etc). So far, I haven't seen anything but 5 different 1000 page bills which don't actually seem to say much about what is actually covered

Another small piece of bad news, the last time I was in DC the Post had an article which said that 35% of people felt the democrats represented their views, 23% felt the republicans did. That leaves 42% (which is larger than either 35 or 23) feeling that neiher party represented their views.

It looks to me like that number is growing and that all this movement needs is a charismatic leader to knock both the established parties off the block.

You might also note that Democrats control both houses of congress and... (More) - posted by Saorsa on September 19, 2009
Have to disagree Richard. Regular Americans opposed to Obama's policies. Many did this when Bush was in office. Its a great testimony to our nation that each side gets to publicly protest things they don't like. If we can't limit one side's ability to protest while preserving the other side's ability to protest. - posted by Davidwattsjr on September 19, 2009

    About Me
Richard Gunion (Shootalot)
Washington, US
72

I like to travel and have been to many places like California, Maine and Mexico. I live in Washington D.C. and have also taken pictures around my home including the new WWII Memorial. Digital cameras come and go so like everyone here I am always trading up. Just finished shooting the inauguration parade of Barack Obama where I took many photos and hope to add to Dreamstime's data base. My education is an AA degree in Photography from Montgomery college in Maryland, though I have found that photography is a continual learning experience.
