Lively crowd protests Obama in Lansing By Dawson Bell • Free Press Lansing Bureau • February 27, 2009 freep.com LANSING – A chilly but spirited crowd of unhappy Michiganders gathered at noon today outside the state Capitol to express their displeasure with President Barack Obama, the $900-billion stimulus, federal bailouts and assorted other grievances as part of a national Tea Party Protest The Michigan protest, one of about 40 around the country today, was sparked by reaction to an outburst last week on CNBC by correspondent Rick Santelli against Obama’s mortgage assistance plan. But Scott Hagerstrom of Americans for Prosperity, one of the event’s sponsors, said the message is a broader response to what they view as a complete breakdown of fiscal discipline in Washington. Among the hand-lettered signs on display outside the Capitol were those which read: “Honk If You Want to Pay My Mortgage” and “Free Markets Not Freeloaders.” But the protesters, numbering about 200-250 people, also targeted the Federal Reserve and creeping socialism. Stefanie Huffaker of Lansing said she and 9-year-old daughter Olivia attended because “I want the president and the Congress to know that they’re spending too much money. We don’t have it. It seems like there’s no end.” “They need to slow down. I’m worried about my kids and my grandkids.”
