Protestors Jeer President

From Instapundit, the Denver Post and The Examiner:
As President Barack Obama’s pen touched paper yesterday to make the federal stimulus bill law, hundreds of people rallied on the west side of the Colorado Capitol to decry the stimulus as irresponsible.
Protesters chanted, “No more pork!” and a few wore costume pig noses. They waved giant $30,000 novelty checks, representing the amount they said the stimulus would cost individual taxpayers. . . .
Many in the crowd professed great skepticism about whether the stimulus would spur the economy.
“I just think there’s no stimulus here,” said Peter Paulos of Denver. “It’s all pork barrel, and I think there are some hidden measures in it. Nobody really read the bill.”
