Sanity.

I truly loved Jon Stewart's closing speech at the end of The Rally to Restore Sanity. *Text and video* The number of people in attendance was staggering (reports of 250,000). 82 countries had rallies of their own to watch the live feed.

I've been very thoughtful of the interview on The Daily Show with President Obama. I've felt some frustration at the lack of progress. Jon Stewart called the President "timid". I disagree. I think we all hoped for more results and much quicker, but I have realized that he was put into office by a huge grassroots movement. Problem with that is that we ARE rooted. We worked hard to get him there but that is where our power ended. He needs support by his fellow Democrats in office and Republicans willing to reach across the aisle. It's like he led us into battle, so to speak. Running to conquer our countries problems only to look back and see that his army lost heart and he was alone. I wish we could have the time to see the results for good or for bad. I think that so many lack courage and some are truly corrupt.
