[ Obama a communist? ]

Given the tone of the demonstration, we felt it best to keep our comments to ourselves - no doubt we would have been branded pinko commie Canadians for suggesting maybe the bailout would keep some of them employed.


[ Child demonstrator ]

I'm all for freedom of speech but I can't say I support bringing your children along and having them literally carry your political ideology.


[ Tennessee State Capitol ]

We didn't end up spending any time at the capitol building itself, which was kind of boring.


[ Nashville War Memorial Building ]

The demonstration was happening on the steps of the War Memorial Building, which had a large courtyard at the centre with a nice classical statue.


[ Bumper stickers ]

The organizers were selling bumper stickers that said "Honk if you're paying my mortgage" -- which really confused me. If your mortgage is being paid out from the bailout, isn't that good for you? Why would you protest against that?
