The National Tree Lighting ceremony was beautiful this evening - but hard not to notice the empty seats. #Christmas #DMV #USA

It's still daylight in that photo. The Obama tree lightings didn't happen in the day time.

By tomorrow that photo will be doctored up and the place will be standing room only!

Who knows? If he gets agitated enough over the crowd size, it might be enough to send him over the edge. Howling at the moon in the Rose Garden. I rather like that thought. Maybe then somebody will DO SOMETHING TO stop our national nightmare.
