A perfect opportunity to send D.C. a message will be Obama's Inauguration Day.

1. Ha. I read your post. And got this image of one crowd punching a
time clock on the way out of DC, and another one punching the clock on the way in.

The people are, Baracks army.

2. Army of what? Unemployed?
The destruction that Bush & Co have wrought to the economy is scary.

Obama better have a plan to get people working with good jobs or he's gonna be on the hot seat.

3. Too pacified with football and NASCAR on the boob tube
Any other nation people would have already stormed banks and government offices demanding the heads of these criminals. But America is pacified by that box sitting in our living rooms.

5. Absolutely correct. As much as the French are frowned upon here, they take no prisoners...

..when it comes to fucking with their jobs....It seems that in Europe the people actually practice democracy but in America they pay lip service to it and then fall in line like sheep.

8. Not enough people are in real pain yet.
It seems to be a sad fact that people don't take action until they personally are feeling pain. The numbers are increasing, but it hasn't reached a critical mass yet. Remember, 46% of the voting population voted for McCain. :eyes:
