Code Pink activists went after Obama economic adviser Larry Summers this afternoon, bounding to the conference room stage where Summers was speaking and unfurling a banner behind his back that read “We Want Our $$$ Back.”
But the most fascinating thing about the episode — aside from the fact that it took event organizers about an eon to get the protesters off the stage — was that these activists think that President Obama is somehow a victim of Larry Summers.
“Resign Larry,” one protester said as she was being escorted through the doors of the conference room. “The people are asking you to give Obama a fair shot and you should resign.”
Give Obama a fair shot? Who do they think appointed Summers to his post?

Excellent point – but it doesn't change the politics, which are that Obama was elected for four years. Getting rid of Summers would indicate a big change of direction for him, so it's worth pushing for.
