Are these US protests significant?

GeneralBulldog just because W was a somewhat poor President (look at the unemployment rate under him thank you very much) doesn't mean we needed to follow his term up with a worse President....yes right now I DO miss W and I never really liked him before.

Miles I didn't say Palin would do a better job I said I don't see how she could do a worse job than Obama. There IS a difference.

To be fair, you also said that you don't like her, which is actually good enough for me.

But I think you are totally misguided on Bush Jr. How could unemployment not rise after the worst financial meltdown since the great depression? Obama is not to blame for this. How can an 8 year term fix 30 years of deregulation and privatised corporations running amok by planting themselves overseas? It's not an Obama problem in the slightest. Obama came to office a couple of months after it all imploded! He has his faults, but unemployment is not one of them.
