He has a point

Jeff Jarvis, a professor at CUNY, may have convinced me to join Twitter. Last night Jarvis sent the following tweet: OK, my fellow citizens, it's up to you now. Jarvis struck a nerve as his tweet has launched a heck of a lot of tweets agreeing with Jarvis and giving an unbelievable number of examples of Washington's actions that frost the senders.

CBS has compiled some of them:
