When Obama came to power he had the grassroots support of the majority of voters in the county. Now he is being "lead from behind" by a few of the biggest banker behinds (asses) on Wall Street. Instead of going to jail these Wall Street bankers are taking home millions of dollars in bonuses, that are made possible by government bailouts and by raising service fees to outrageously high levels. While much of the fuss is over protesters that Occupy Wall Street little mention is made of the Wall Street bankers who live in luxury and "Occupy the White House".
The tea party leaders are being "lead from behind" by the Koch Brothers, and Fox News (who carefully packages their message).
In America to understand politics you need to look at who is behind the leader. Sometimes it is hard to see who it is because it is often only through a small opening that they become visible and it is not always open.

Get the lead hose mug.an individual that marks the highest degree of the pro gun standpoint. a "Lead Head" lives and breaths firearms, They have extensive knowledge on any gun from every era and origin, they work to master every weapon they can get their hands on and have very large firearm collections, often times arsenals. A "Lead Head" has very expensive taste in firearms but will not hesitate to pack rat any low grade, broken or malfunctioning firearms if offered them or if the price is right, Such weapons usually get refurbished, used for their parts or get converted into some kind of illegal abomination. The term "Lead Head" implies that the person's brain is made of lead and encased in a copper jacket, just like a bullet. A "lead Head" is different than a redneck in that they do not particularly care for hunting unless it's for looters, illegal immigrants, or UN soldiers who have come to disarm The American people, and their gun knowledge far transcends that of any redneck. "Lead Heads" consider themselves better than most lower echelon gun owners and sometimes even gun dealers. It is not uncommon for them to bury guns and ammunition when politically startled.
