Obama is following Hoover’s lead in every way except expenditures. Hoover raised taxes and sought to balance the budget. he arm-wrestled industrailists to keep them from laying off workers, even though auto sales came down 90%. In other words, Hoover tried to engeineer his way out of the Depression, but only made things worse. If Obama is not careful, he will have a march on Washington in a couple of Years, just as Hoover did.

You're wrong. In my opinion, the protests could start happening with increasing frequency probably by April and we could reach of point of an all-out protest by summer. We need to follow the model of the Solidarity movement in Poland during the 1980's, when large-scale protests caused the government no end of trouble and maybe will finally force even The One to realize the folly of his ways.

You said — “If Obama is not careful, he will have a march on Washington in a couple of Years, just as Hoover did.”

Well, I would look at what happened. The U.S. Military drove them out, headed up by General Douglas MacArthur and Maj. George S. Patton with six tanks... LOL..

See post #150.

I don’t think that’s something that people, protesting, would be looking forward to...
