Why would thousands of Americans protest a sitting president and their government? Well, if you only watched the coverage of the big 3 networks, then you may think something like this has never happened before and all the participates are either just a bunch of right-wing extremists or were put up to it by some sinister force.

In reality, many people are tired of all the taxes and fees. Many people are tired of the wasteful spending of government. And many people are tired of the governmental attempts at social engineering. This is not an anti-obama movement, although he embraces all of the above. This is non-partisan. Both the Democrats and Republicans are at fault.

Will it last? Who knows? Any movement needs a leader. A leader that can articulate the vision and be a focal point to rally behind. Do I see that leader at the moment? No. What I do see though are many people that have never spoken out starting to. The genie is out of the bottle.

Think about it.
