Neptunus Lex — ... The WaPo estimates the crowd size as “tens of thousands,” which is true – after all, a hundred thousand is 10 tens of thousands – but probably misleading.

Confederate Yankee — ... protested anything in their lives. It was Democrats and Republicans and independents and people who had never before cared about political matters at all. It was a cross-section of America, who knew in their hearts that America cannot much longer survive if it continues down the path that our self-serving politicians are leading us. Barack Obama was sworn in seven months ago in front of roughly a million Americans who hope he represented the future of this republic.
