Teabaggers to protest Obama next week in Buffalo

Buffalo, NY (WKBW) -- Struggling business owners and Tea Party activists are planning to hold massive demonstrations to greet President Barack Obama next week.

"We could probably see 400 or 500 people," said Western New York Tea Party organizer Rus Thompson.

The Buffalo police and fire departments are also planning to demonstrate when the President comes to town on Thursday.

The White House is still planning the President's trip. An itinerary is expected sometime early next week.

We need people there to welcome him!

8. I live in Buffalo. No, it isn't.
We get bigger crowds with crappy no-name bands at the Thursday At The Square afternoon concerts.

Of course, they serve beer at Thursday At The Square too.

4. If they get a tenth of those numbers, I'll eat my hat
Yeah, keep telling yourself you'll get 400 or 500 people, Mr. Thompson. Fox will surely believe you. They'll even say you had a thousand or more before the TV cameras showed up.

9. What about him are they protesting? Do they have any idea?
The State's budgets around the country are all cut to shit. Pretty soon they will be squealing for help from the federal government. Our schools, our services.....help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tax the rich!!! we were wrong!!!!

It's already starting to happen in New Jersey. Lot's of sorry people are now losing their jobs and the help they needed to survive. Our stupid Gov Christie gave a billion dollar tax break to the $4000,000.00 and up crowd and days later cut schools and services by that same billion dollars.

The "Morans" that came out to protest Obama and the HCR bill are suddenly faced with the repercussions from their votes. Will they continue to cut their noses off to spite their uninformed white faces? For how much longer?

They should be ashamed of themselves. They are stabbing our troops in the back with their disloyalty in a time of war!
