Armadebtdon. It’s the end of the world as we know it, according to Jon Stewart, who was not enthused with the President’s speech last Monday.

After the debt ceiling video debate, (if you want to call two separate speeches a debate— transcripts of the President’s message and Boehner’s response) citizens responded.

Websites of congressmen were flooded with users/citizens outrage.  Servers went down as emails of protest overwhelmed  the systems.

Some were following  Obama’s proclamation:

So I’m asking you all to make your voice heard. If you want a balanced approach to reducing the deficit, let your Member of Congress know. If you believe we can solve this problem through compromise, send that message.

By message did he mean a letter or a tweet?

Twitter reported on the server shut downs and many Congress members took to the social networking site to respond to constituents.

Both speeches acknowledged American frustration with government, without drawn-out apologies, which has been made evident in most citizen interviews.

If you check out this recent Washington Post poll, under question #23, only 30% of Americans would re-elect their congressperson.

So Obama called us out and many Americans took to the online social network. Should they have been marching in Washington?

This may be the beginning of a new era like when FDR called citizens to their televisions with maps in which he said these words:

“It is your problem, my friends, your problem no less than it is mine.Together we cannot fail.”

Obama similarly expressed at the end of his video:

The entire world is watching. So let’s seize this moment to show why the United States of America is still the greatest nation on Earth – not just because we can still keep our word and meet our obligations, but because we can still come together as one nation.
