If a Republican were president it would almost certainly be the administrations Predator Drone attacks on US citizens without due process.\u00a0 But a popular Democrat can get by on this one.\u00a0 Imagine if George Bush were doing it…<\/p>\n

It might be the undocumented going to the streets to protest for a pathway to citizenship, I would understand, although I’m not sure it won’t be counter productive.\u00a0 It might be better to have a stealth campaign where everyone just approaches their friends,neighbors, coworkers and employers and asks for their support.\u00a0 But these things are unpredictable.<\/p>\n

It might be the Tea Party protesting the negative unintended consequences of “Obama Care” that are starting to reverberate through the economy.\u00a0 We just had a 25% increase in our health care premiums.<\/p>\n

My money is on the young over trained under employed intelligentsia.\u00a0 They have time on their hands and real gripes.\u00a0 Like no jobs.\u00a0 What their specific grievance will be is anybody’s guess.<\/p>\n

Who do you think will go to the barricades this spring?<\/p>\n
