Considering the Black Unemployment Rate under Obama, I would have expected 10 Million to show up.

Smaller crowd than a TX high school football game.

Nobody is expecting a historic speech today.

Not to worry. Obama’s PR team (the MSM) will be reporting it at a million.

Looks like the buses traveled to DC, and then spread out all over for todays “fast food strike”.

Here in Indy the local news even showed the SEIU troops getting off the buses in the predawn hours and demonstrating in front of a downtown McDonalds.

There is about 300K blacks that live in D.C.

If 90% of them can’t even make it to a rally in their own city why should the rest of the country even care.

That is pathetic.

“Down with the struggle” - maybe, but a 10 minute bus ride (Even sitting in the front) is just too much to axe.

And I love the fact that the event guests invited to speak had to stand behind bulletproof lexan around the podium.

Nice home crowd huh?

I doubt it, what's another 20k on top of the half million or so already on the dole in DC, MD, and VA.
