Check this out..someone emailed the info to me in regards to Obama’s visit to Wisconsin.

When Obama stopped in at Master Lock in Milwaukee Wisconsin last week, he was walking the plant and stopped to talk with a plant employee and looked up at the banner hanging on the wall and said to the workers and people around him,

“It is great to be in a union shop, especially one as old as this union is “ - - — pointing to the banner.

He then said, “A Union shop since 1848” - - - and then he went on to talk on what that banner stood for

and how important it was to display it and show your union support.

The worker then said to Obama that it was the flag of the State of Wisconsin - - which was founded in 1848.

DUH!

This was only reported by a local radio station in Milwaukee (11:30AM) and not by the major news networks - - -

Am not surprised by Mambos entirely missing the mark on this....arrogant people generally show they are really dense when they’re trying to smoosh the public. I hope he continues messing up....he and Michelle love to be away from the Whitehouse and doing the community organizing thing. It’s a role they are more comfortable in then running the country as Pres. and First Lady...of which the suit never fit.

Yes, it does matter, because it’s only those who either remember the 60s, or who have a strong understanding of the actual history of the 60s (and the 70s, to boot), who have sufficient understanding to know what the inevitable consequences are when you start a race-war. Those who do not are all too susceptible to being coopted into thinking that they’re participating in just another virtuous fight for liberation.

You're not seeing my point. Folks will react to protect their interests like they did in 1968 and 1972, especially when it hits them with violence or in the pocket book. They don't have to remember 40+ years ago. Human nature doesn't change.

That didn't do that much to change the minds of the vapid 20-somethings who voted for Obama. Some people, many below 30, but increasingly, too many people over 30 too, can't see the forest for the trees.
