See much coverage of the tens of thousands of conservatives that rallied in DC yesterday? No windows broken or cars burned, no arrests and the wrong message so it was mostly ignored by the government media.

Much in the way of news about the largest petition ever presented to Congress last week? Just 1.3 million Americans going out of their way to send a message that will be ignored by Obama and Dems in Congress (of course along with the government media organs).

The Washington Post piece was a laugher. Said these people don't represent the views of a majority of Americans even though every poll shows a majority opposes Obamacare, a wide majority think we are going in the wrong direction, more and more every day now associate themselves with the Republican party, etc., etc.

On another note, Obama only got a modest bounce out of his speech to Congress despite the fawning, non-stop coverage and the near total ignoring of his serial lies in the speech. What is interesting is his strongly approve numbers are up but the strong disapproval numbers remain static. It once again proves my point about many (not all) so-called independents. Who gives a good speech, no need to really examine an issue, what direction is the wind blowing. Look for it and his other numbers to soon resume their nosedive as more people lose their jobs and homes (record bankruptcies), the national debt continues to skyrocket in the trillions and so on.
