Are You the Change You've Been Waiting For?

You are the change you've been waiting for, declared Candidate Barack Obama.

We weren't exactly sure what that meant, so on the evening of January 19, just before Obama was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States, Reason.tv's Dan Hayes and Nick Gillespie talked with Obama supporters in the Dupont Circle area of Washington, D.C.

Some came to throw shoes at a giant inflatable effigy of George W. Bush and some came just to take in the sounds and sights of a chilly January night.

And some talked to Reason.tv about whether they would change anything now that Obama was about to take office.

Approximately 2.30 minutes. Shot and edited by Dan Hayes.

Listening to those people on the video was PAINFUL

They care about 'going green' and 'community service' -- which frankly seem to me to be self-indulgences of the upper to upper middle class.

That the environment and community service are their major concerns suggests to me that they are stupid.

"Real" major concerns include government stealing, inflation, and war.

The country is still much better off than if the Republicans were in charge. Thank GOD the Repukes and the Obama-hatin imbeciles aren't even on the radar. They have the audacity to talk all this shit when they're still looking for WMDs.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again....this country is doomed.

They should have started with cleaning up the National Mall after they destroyed it.
