They were just as displeased with Bush and co. for their "stimulus" claptrap, but it wasn't like they had a lot of time to organize after that and before he left office. Also, I fail to see how it's bad for government to keep *less* of our money; of all the things there are to criticize, that just doesn't seem like one of them. @Patrick, I think you’ll find most of those groups were not aligned with either major party.

It sure beats having to fit into a similar dress, and wig (if you could find one) and get all done up just for one look alike picture. I hate to say it but you do look better. 8o)' Uncle Jay, isn’t copy and paste wonderful?

Shouldn't they have been concerned when a 2 trillion dollar annual surplus was "returned" to taxpayers through $300-$600 rebates in some other-president's attempts to revive the economy? After all, the money could have been used to stabilize and shore up social security (theirs and their children's future) or provide healthcare coverage to over 50 million uninsured Americans, or saved in a rainy-day account, like now. Also, wasn't the bank bailout process started under their much-idolized, previous president's administration? Could they really be protesting against their own party-line government? Following these timeline of events seems to be as hard for them to follow as the O.J. Simpson murder trial timeline. Are they really smarter than a 5th grader, or just acting like one that needs a "time-out"? Uncle Jay,

I saw things like "Save the Constitution", and "Stop robbing my grandchildren"; those seem pretty applicable to what's been going on in government lately. Whether or not you agree with them, though, most of the demonstrators were peaceful and just there to prove a point about government... which was decidedly *not* the picture that CNN, etc. tried to paint. @Bozo, which ones?

Network news is an excellent source for drama, glitz, and a nice spin! Which is nice if you're looking for left-leaning reassurance instead of truth. But I prefer your witty, dead-on summary of the stories. AAarggg, Matey! Thank you! Bull’s-Eye again! Network news is an excellent source for drama, glitz, and a nice spin!

Do you really think that having another "Tea Party" will do anything. We should all just be thankful that President Obama is trying to help the economy. Really good show Uncle Jay.
