What I've found amusing about this article and the response to it is, why is a European news paper reporting a million+ demonstrating against Barak Obama and his policies? Aren't they on the same page as most of the American media? Why didn't a European news paper *down play* the demonstration in Washington DC to shore up public opinion of the American president? Will Europeans have a more accurate view of Obama's popularity than is portrayed in the United States?Personally, in a subjective guessing game like this, I'll throw out the highest and lowest numbers and settle on a number in the middle. Fox News reported numbers in DC at hundreds of thousands. Based on photos and videos I've seen of this demonstration and past, my guess is the number was more like three hundred thousand. I have a friend that went to it and I'll ask her how many she thought were there when she gets back.
