#1 NPR and Juan Williams have called it latent racism just this morning. I call it a negative job review.

#2 From an administration which promised hope to the people, to a people who must GIVE to the government.

Tried to pull a couple fast ones. Federal Gov. is lucky those bills didn't pass. People giving up their 'Football Saturday' to bust ass traveling in a mass of people - they should be concerned.

#3 So he went to Mpls to address 15,000 when he could have walked out the front door and addressed a million.

Of course, not the million he would have preselected.

#4 THE MSM claims 70,000 people. Now I have a very good methodolgy for BS detection. I call it: the Stadium methodology. Compare the traffic jams and stress on public transportation, and how much time it takes before the area is cleared after a big football match (the Stadium where the Red Skins play has a capacity of 93,000 people) and the demonstration. If tehy were much bigger during the demobnstration then you know that the MSM are lying.

#5 The size of the crowd - by far the biggest protest since the president took office in January - shocked the White House.

Obama and his crew are so out of touch that they would have been shocked if even one person showed up, I'm sure.

So my question to the Dinosaur Media is: If there were more like half a million at the rally, do you think it would be an indication that the idea of government healthcare should be reconsidered? If not, then how many would it take to pull your head out of your a$$? The people know what they want and what they need, and this is not it. Give up. Who's the boss here? The people or their elected government? Last time I checked, we still don't have an office called "Emperor".
