Joby Weeks of Denver was outside a rally for Sen. Barack Obama in Westminster, protesting against the proposed $700 billion bailout of the financial system.
Weeks was an alternate delegate to the Republican National Convention and supported Ron Paul for president. On his shirt was a button with the word "Fed" and a bright-red diagonal line through it, referring to the Federal Reserve.
"All these people think Obama's going to change it," said Weeks of the people in line. "He's not going to change it. They're not even asking the tough questions. If we get to the root cause, it's the Federal Reserve system's ability to create hundreds of billions of dollars out of thin air."
