When I was a child I used to hold my breath hoping my mommy would let me have my way.

Thankfully she was more mature than I was, and taught me that playing well with others goes a lot further in reaching the goals I was trying to achieve.

These childish protesters who are figuratively ‘holding their collective breath’ until Momma Obama gives them their way are no different than I was when I was three years old.

They also need to grow up and learn how to function as adults and learn how to work inside a system instead of like spoiled children who drag their feet until someone spanks them or lets them have their candy or toys.

Then again, I’m certain many who are participating have learned it’s easier to blend into a crowd of collective thought and protest a general idea that requires no individual effort on their part other than to simply “be” and object to “greed”.  Very spacey new-age philosophy but very short-sighted.  So maybe these folks have moved beyond infantile behaviour and are moving into junior-high concepts of communal living.  That’s progress then, I guess.
