A.P. photo.An estimated two million average Americans marched on Washington, D.C. today to protest Obamacare and all of the reckless spending the Democrat-controlled congress and President Obama enacted since January 20th.
The U.K. Daily Mail reports:
Up to two million people marched to the U.S. Capitol today, carrying signs with slogans such as "Obamacare makes me sick" as they protested the president's health care plan and what they say is out-of-control spending.
The line of protesters spread across Pennsylvania Avenue for blocks, all the way to the capitol, according to the Washington Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency.
People were chanting "enough, enough" and "We the People." Others yelled "You lie, you lie!" and "Pelosi has to go," referring to California congresswoman Nancy Pelosi.
The U.S. media didn't want to estimate the size of the rally, but instead chose to say that it numbered in the "tens of thousands."
The New York Times wrote:
The demonstrators numbered well into the tens of thousands, though the police declined to estimate the size of the crowd. Many came on their own and were not part of an organization or group. But the magnitude of the rally took the authorities by surprise, with throngs of people streaming from the White House to Capitol Hill for more than three hours.
This is one rally that Obama and the Democrats can't ignore.
