“...and that question was settled last November.”

It was settled, if you truly believe everything was on the up-and-up at the polling places, which it wasn’t. Besides ACORN, et al., involved in intimidation and cheating, etc., the media filtered the truth from voters.

I am NOT for Obama, and I fully agree with you.

However, it's one thing to protest DC policies, but another to personally attack a president who has been in office less that three months. The latter makes us sound like "sore losers" from the election and that impression negates what we are trying to do.

This is about Congressional policies that are bleeding us dry. Obama can't do anything that Congress doesn't let him do. Congress is "the weak link" who is fair to attack -- and members of Congress are the most likely to "break" ranks in response to protests to save their political skin, especially when these protests hit in their District or close to it. Obama has four years to worry about us -- all the members of Congress don't -- many of them will be up for election sooner than that, and each one knows that they are politically expendable.

This isn't about "who deserves our scorn". This is about a strategy for being most effective with the protest, IMHO.
