Reason.tv interviewed some Obama supporters in D.C. on Jan. 19, the night before he was inaugurated.
Using Obama’s rallying cry that “We are the change we’ve been waiting for,” the videographers asked supporters, “What are you going to do differently now that Obama’s president?”
Interesting answers. Think anyone says they would not be active in service if McCain had been elected?
Notice the people in the background throwing shoes at a giant blow-up doll of President Bush.
Inspiring.

Wow. I’m shocked. Many of these people responded all too quickly and even proudly that they would not ‘be the change’ if McCain had been elected. I don’t know if this speaks to Obama’s ability to inspire or people’s natural tendency to protest out of spite. I think it’s the latter. I think they believe they would have been protesting McCain, had he been elected, by choosing not to become socially active.
