'Obamaville' sign posted near homeless camp

Someone has put a lot of thought into a welcome sign that may surprise you, it's in front of a homeless camp off I-25 in Colorado Springs.

Its message, "Welcome to Obamaville, Colorado's fastest growing community." Despite repeated calls no one could answer the question, who put up the sign?

To some homeless the sign's message says enough. Mark Limonez, a homeless man living in "tent city", says the sign doesn't make him feel good about trying to get back on his feet. "Guys are trying to work but there's not enough work out there, so they go pan handling or flag a sign" Limonez says, "I've never seen so many camps since I've been out in the streets - there's no money."

There are no logos on the front of the sign and no clues to where it comes from.

How sweet it is!

[who knows what evil?]

That’s a professional banner...somebody shelled out some money for it...

More pertinent is the fact that NOBODY has seen fit to take it down.

Perfect. May they multiply as the needs increase.

Should make a standard sign like that for every homeless camp! Complete with the joker image...

I'll have to make one this weekend...

Gerald Celente predicted this.

It’s big enough for a one-man tent.

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

How’s that hope and change working out for you?

[GovernmentShrinker]

Probably made by the owner of a small business that made banners and signs, as he went under and moved into the homeless camp. Or maybe by the owner of such a business who’s still barely hanging on, but has had to lay off employees, one or more of whom has been forced to move into the camp.

Love it.

He might be able to stay in business a while longer...these signs will be in demand for some time to come.

Flashback: Obama Criticizes Bush on the Economy(March 2008)

“History will not judge President bush kindly,” Obama said...arguing that Bush appeared nonchalant over the potential crisis in remarks last week.

“When I saw the president in his press conference, almost lighthearted and joking about some of these issues, I think it did not instill the kind of confidence in the American people and certainly it didn’t instill any confidence in me that the Administration is taking the situation seriously,” Obama said.
