Here is a warning posted to emails by Eric Sheptock about DC's "Migration" plan for the homeless for the duration of the Inauguration. SHAME ON OBAMA for demanding the homeless pack up and leave! More

Editorial Cartoon: Nerobama – Who Says He Hasn't Spoken Up About Gaza?

So, I'm on the street shooting these demos where people are demanding that Emperor-Elect Timberlake "say something" about the Israeli rape of Gaza, as if with enough pressure – if you call sign-waving and delivering white roses "pressure" – he'll suddenly have a Eureka Moment and go on TV and "do the right thing".
Now, I often like to joke around with my friends about how most Americans' long-term memories don't go back past the last episode of "Desperate Housewives", but lately it seems to be the dead-assed truth, and that includes The Movement™. Anyone who thinks that Obama actually has substantially different ideas about the situation that he's just waiting to express until he's officially El Presidente has obviously already forgotten his notorious wet, sloppy blowjob of a speech he delivered to last year's AIPAC Convention shortly after becoming the presumptive (spit) Donkeycratic Party nominee for Maximum Leader.

Of course, he left out the parts about massacring civilians, experimenting with high density munitions that more effectively dismember human bodies, using white phosphorous like napalm, not to mention killing medical workers and preventing their access to civilian victims, and also targeting United Nations sites full of civilians with massive and deadly force…More

Guàntanamo Bay opened for business on Jan 11, 2002. Now seven sorry years have passed – and Barack Obama is backsliding on his promise to close this notorious hellhole. He calls it "difficult!" On Jan 11, 2009, opponents of torture staged a protest demanding he keep his promise to shut it down. More
SPEAKERS, ORGANIZERS EXPRESS UNFOUNDED OPTIMISM, ASTONISHING NAIVETE REGARDING INCOMING REGIME
Before the symbolic procession of hooded "prisoners", speaker after speaker displayed an amazing willingness to trust in Emperor-Elect Obama's promises to close Guàntanamo, and a disappointing inability to "connect the dots" in the context of the growing list of Obama's broken promises of "change" in various policy areas since winning the "election" last November.

Obama's Transparent Hypocrisy on Gaza
![weepinggazagirl.gif](http://web.archive.org./web/20090116081537im_/http://dc.indymedia.org/usermedia/image/7/thumb/weepinggazagirl.gif)
President-Elect Barack Obama on Sunday told ABC's "This Week" that he stands by his July 2008 endorsement of Israel's "right to defend itself". Obama's comments came after he was asked about the widespread criticism of his position — or rather, his refusal to take a direct position — relating to the Israeli aggression in Gaza… More

15,000+ March in Sleet for Gaza
![washdcJan1009-05detail.gif](http://web.archive.org./web/20090116081537im_/http://dc.indymedia.org/usermedia/image/4/thumb/washdcjan1009-05detail.gif)
In a sea of kaffiyahs and Palestinian flags, more women than men, a pretty big protest called on short notice, went on a 2 mile march, to stop the massacre going on in Gaza. The rising death count of children was on everyone's mind. Many Muslim American groups were represented, including Muslim student groups, and Right of Return groups. More

Thousands Demand: "Let Gaza Live!" at White House and in Downtown DC
Like any national ANSWER mobe, it was large and militant – and, like any national ANSWER mobe, the speeches went on forever. In fact, ironically enough, the weather managed to hold long enough for the speeches and, almost as soon as Ralph Nader (finally!) finished his remarks, the sky began spitting. The message was clear and forceful, the crowd boisterous and enthusiastic, and the cops amazingly chill. More ||
