2. That was one of the coldest days of my life. And the warmest too.
Edited on Sat Aug-28-10 07:18 PM by Subdivisions
Everyone was simply amazing that day. I walked 14 blocks from National Stadium, where the busses off-loaded, with thousands and thousands of people. At each entrance to The Mall, we were directed further down the street toward the Washington Monument. Young, old, black, white, walking together toward history and not a single complaint the whole way. We were finally able to access the mall at the WM itself. And when I made my way through the throngs collected below the Washington Monument to it's very base and then turned to look out toward the Capitol, it was truly breath-taking. I've never experienced such a site in my life.

7. Maybe we scared the heck out of him though.
We need to rejuvenate what we had. Damn it had so much promise.

9. Yep... big crowd.....I was there....
Still it would appear that somebody went to listen to Beck. Let's hope they were not all registered voters....:-(

13. I am sure they were indeed registered voters but so what?
We already know there are that many wing nut registered voters...What was said that could be quoted as historic? USA..USA..USA.. was that their famous equivalent to "I have a Dream"?

15. 1,000 is a little low. I'd say maybe 3500
counting the tourists that just happened to be there on the same day.

12. Show me Keith Olbermann's crowd...
so I can make a peer to peer comparison.

If Glenn Beck were elected President, you'd see the same crowd, except with more torches.
