Obama makes light of anti-tax protests
MIAMI (AP) — President Barack Obama says he’s amused by the anti-tax tea party protests that have been taking place around Tax Day.

He says he’s been a little amused over the past couple of days when people at the rallies complained about taxes.
Quoting the president: “You would think they’d be saying thank you.”
