700 protest Bush Social Security in Rochester?

I was listening to Democracy Now this morning and Amy Goodmen mentioned that 700 protestors showed up to demonstrate against Bush's Social Security tour in Rochester, NY. She also said that this was getting very little media attention. Does anyone have any info on how many people showed up?

5. No

Bush is too arrogant and, quite frankly, just too stupid to get a message of that kind.

8. Why, just this morning

Mr. Bush was telling everyone that the American people want an energy policy, and they're tired of Congress dicking around with it. Isn't it odd that Mr. Bush knows what "the American people" want anent his fucked-up energy policy, but doesn't have the first clue about what "the American people" want when they're trying to tell him about his fucked-up social security policy?

Or is that just too obvious a point to be made for our media friends?
