The “Obama swear in” crowd shot is about 2x closer than the Beck shots giving the impression the Obama attendance is comparatively larger.
Amen.
I think the denseness of the crowd is going to depend on when the photo was taken. my daughter and i got there about 10:30-10:45 and you could not squeeze through the crowds to get closer, from about the WW2 memorial on up. Also, there were wall to wall people in the grove of trees going up either side, and they are not visible in any photo. Those in the sun [like us] had a bit more room between us. And there was a constant ebb and flow of people coming and going. Regardless of the number [and i am as curious as anyone else on what they will give as the “official” number] it was a MASSIVE crowd.
Good points.
Was right there Left of the Pool with My Brother,My Wife,My Son, His wife And My first Grandaughter,she Might be The contender for the Youngest attendee,was 2 Months old on Saturday the 28th!!
Well we will find out On Oct 2,all the Left wing Moonbats have a rally scheduled at the same spot, Union workers,community organizers and all other Lefties are invited all expenses paid with bus ride included,my son works for a Union and received his invite today and he can invite as many friends and family people he wants. So watch How they cover that and never tell you it is a Rent a Mob

They will never even imply that it’s a rent-a-mob. It will be a spontaneous show of good will toward The One and progressive policies. It will be coupled with huge donations of $$$$$ from Union coffers and forced use of Union Workers to support The One and the progressive cause.
Should point out that most print reporters who belong to the Guilds are union members (Newspaper Guild of America the parent guild is part of the Communications Workers of America). A different guild/union covers most of the people in broadcast TV.
Back up under the trees there were people still arriving about 2 hours after the rally started. I asked some and was amazed that they were still coming in. It was taking that long to get in on the Metro.
“a few hundred” was undoubtedly the phrase used by many in the State run media.
Any photos of the Sharpton crowd?
