Washington
DC - More than 75,000 of protesters have staged the biggest demonstration of Barack Obama's
presidency at the weekend to denounce his $787 billion economic stimulus
package and the administration's march towards
socialism. The depiction of the administration as socialist or communist was a unifying
theme. The large numbers at Saturday's march took city authorities by surprise, and came as the culmination of an ad hoc movement that has been building in size and momentum since April's anti-tax
'tea party' demonstrations. Richard Armey, the former Republican leader in the House of
Representatives, addressed the rally, accusing Obama of betraying the founding fathers. When he spoke, the crowd shouted "Liar! liar!" – an allusion to the Republican congressman Joe Wilson who shouted out "Liar!" at Obama during the president's address to Congress last
week.
One teenager carried a scrawled sign that read: "Do I 'look' like I want to 'serve' in Obama's Nazi Youth militia? Arrest our Communist, Fascist, Racist, Lying, President NOW for
Treason!!"
