Inauguration Day in Crawford
<skip>

As Tuesday’s changing of the presidential guard unfolded, a small group of tireless anti-war activists gathered around a television in the Peace House living room.

"This has been a long struggle," said John Wolf, who co-founded the peace center six years ago. "Back then, Bush had a 70 percent approval rating. We were speaking for a small minority. Now, it’s totally reversed. Finally we have a government we can believe in."

The group joined hands. They cheered wildly as Obama took the oath of office.

Several wept.

On the day that Crawford, in the eyes of the world, became yesterday’s news, Wolf and his friends went outside and unfurled a canvas banner against the side of an old shed.

The in-your-face message read:

"Mission Accomplished."

2. Oh that article is funny with the neighbors comments
It seems that they don't know tht he is moving out of the neighborhood. It seems that they don't realize that it was just a prop.
