To some the protest is an Anti-Obama, anti-government movement. They are partially correct. Most ordinary citizens were there to tell the government (the current and the previous) that the government has gotten way too BIG since the New Deal and has come to a point where it is out of Control! While enough is enough, citizens who embrace our Constitutions in particular are very concerned when our president openly voiced his distribution of wealth.

I was there as well. That evening channel 4 played a two or three second clip that they had taken before anyone showed up to make it look small. I also filmed it in HD and you can see it by searching for FISHCASTNET
