21 Mar 2010 Tea Party Video: Tea Partiers Chant as Obama Arrives at Capitol to Lobby Wavering Democrats

This video was shot from the left side of the East Front of the U.S. Capitol, shot toward the south of the Capitol where the House of Representatives office buildings are located and where Tea Party protesters chanted “Kill the Bill” about an hour following the end of the March 20, 2010 Tea Party Rally. At the time this video was shot, President Obama’s motorcade was expected to enter the Capitol grounds momentarily.

Although the President’s motorcade entered from the north of the Capitol and avoided the protestors, the sounds of the continuing, if impromptu, Tea Party activities must have reached him loud and clear. The President’s motorcade is barely visible on the video as the Capitol Police kept the public far away from the Capitol for over an hour before the President’s arrival. This is as close as my son Jonathan and I were allowed to get.
