Please, Pres Obama..

Go to Martha's Vineyard and stay there for 15 months. Do not give any more speeches or utter any more pompous, arrogant pronouncements, admonishments or lectures. The market is tired and scared of your attempts to "fundamentally change the US". A majority of We the People are tired of hearing, or seeing you in our face day after day.

Better yet, resign effective at noon today, pack your stuff, move out of the White House, and resume your former life in Chicago.

LEAVE US ALONE.

Go home and live happily ever after.

All that’s missing is a covered wagon and some rattling bottles.

**Some of the strongest anti-Obama sentiment can be found in the rural areas.**

In western IL that might have been the case, say 30yrs ago. But, with the heavy reliance on guvmint subsidies, this neighborhood is quite socialistic. Unlike most of the country the ag community hasn’t been terribly affected by the recession, thanks to the afore mentioned subsidies.

Look at IA. Harkin and Grassley disagree on many issues, but they are in lockstep on ethanol support.

I'm thinking he'll find a boisterous, welcoming crowd where ever he goes. Two reasons. 1) the radicals will bus in thousands of paid demonstrators from out of state. 2) the unions will bus in a few hundred more of its members who called in sick so they could get paid twice to demonstrate in favor of their fellow comrade. And sadly, there may be a third reason. Of the 80 million checks that are mailed out each month for the parasites in this country, many of them will show up to make sure their teat is not going to run dry. Not so much the Social Security - Medicare crowd as the farm subsidy contingent that love the Federal handouts. You want to close loopholes? Fine. Cancel every subsidy, every loan, every grant and all foreign aid especially the UN, this gubmint provides first, then we will talk mortgage deduction and charitable gift deductions.

TEA Party members need to show up on the route and as the bus passes turn their back to him.

Given the rural locations, I was thinking more of a corridor lined with people holding burning torches and freshly-sharpened pitchforks.

The bus would probably just pass right on through without stopping.

I figure his handlers will have him show up at union only functions, teachers union and seiu events, maybe a NAACP or acorn event too.
Show up at a NASCAR event and things would get ugly REAL quick.

He’s revving up the class warfare rhetoric, expecting to gin up hatred of the conservative urban elite.

The unions will bus in selected people to attend HIS show and tell, locals are not allowed to attend.

Sounds a lot like HIS town hall meeting, only select people are allowed to attend and reporters are only allowed if they only ask feel good questions.

His entire life is a lie from the beginning until now,

Nice of him to take time out of his busy golf schedule to talk to us “clingers.”

It sure is their normal modus operandi.

He wants the support of ethanol country.

I saw the sign on the pump today, "this product contains 10% ethanol".

But table corn is now $.50 each.

***********OBAMA JOKE***********

A man died and went to heaven.

As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him.

He asked, ‘What are all those clocks?

St. Peter answered, ‘Those are Lie-Clocks.

Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock.

Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move.

‘Oh,’ said the man, ‘whose clock is that?’

‘That’s Mother Teresa’s. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie.’

‘Incredible,’ said the man. ‘And whose clock is that one?’

St. Peter responded, ‘That’s Abraham Lincoln’s clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life.’

‘Where’s President Obama’s clock?’ asked the man. Obama’s clock is in Jesus’ office. He’s using it as a ceiling fan.
