I don’t want this Marxist in the back of the bus. I want him under it.

He’s going back to Rosa Parks? He’s set race relations back about 45 years.

Obama has no slave background. His only connection to America was his white mother. He was no relance to the civil rights movement.

He actually sat in the very same seat? Somebody should’ve left a whoopie cushion in there for him.

" ... to sit aboard the historic bus where Rosa Parks once took a stand in the name of civil rights."

Let me get this straight ...

He sat on the seat she sat on to take a stand ... right?

Sitting is standing.

Must be how he pees

This POS will NEVER have any quality, in any measure, sufficient for him to stand in Rosa Parks’ shadow. What a profound insult.

And there, ladies and gentlemen, is your Keyboard Destroying Coffee Spew Post of the Day.

Seriously, he may as well just stand with the Black Panthers and give the power salute for what it is doing to him electorally.

The bus was displayed and then stored here in Montgomery, AL for many years. The bus was then sold to the museum that now has it.

We have millions of things to nitpick, but the fact is this is the same bus Rosa Parks rode in.

That’s his goal. He wants the racial component of American unrest that the Communist Party loved to put in their daily newspapers.

The Communists also helped stage rock and roll riots in the 1950s in Germany.

Anything to denounce the West.

He is not here as a uniter. He is an antiChrist, a deceiver. One who does not come in peace.

The bus was up for auction sometime within the last 10 years and was in horrible shape (at least judging by some of the photos).

When was the first public display of the bus anywhere?

Seems a more modern tourist attraction.

Let me see if I can find some references. I want to say the articles that came out when it was auctioned stated it had been displayed somewhere here in Alabama in the late 60’s (IIRC).

And yes, the bus was in absolutely horrible shape when it was auctioned. It had been stored in the back of a warehouse or barn or something for almost 30 years. Again, IIRC.

OK Found a good reference at the Henry Ford museum actually.

The bus was not on display in the 60’s it was actually still in service in Montgomery. But it was always identified as the Rosa Parks bus and was identified as such when it was sold.

The bus was subsequently stored in a field and used as a storage ‘shed’ (may be where I got the barn/warehouse thought).

when it went up to auction it was confirmed by it’s serial number and bus number to be a Montgomery City Bus in service in 1955, and A scrapbook from the late 50’s time period had notes in it identifying bus #2857 as the bus Rosa Parks rode in.

Actually he is in the correct row - 3 up from the front door - but on the wrong side of the bus.

Guess he couldn’t bring himself to sit on ‘right’.

Here is where your theory goes off the rails. He isn’t looking for 95% of the black vote. He is looking for 195% of the black vote.

When one believes in the Messiah they will do anything for him. We all know where this is going. Charles Manson predicted this 43 years ago.

No he is in the wrong seat! The diagram shows her seat as the 5th row RH side. It looks like he is in row 5 LH side. How appropriate.

I agree that this is odd even for him.
He looks ridiculous, like President Urkel (again).
He must be getting the real poll numbers, not the skewed ones the general public sees. I bet his disapproval ratings are way lower then they will admit publicly.

” - - - Doesn’t 0bama know that is not the seat where Rosa Parks was sitting and why is he staring at the blank wall?”

Obama is LEFT-Centric. He is left-handed, Left-Wing in thought, and yearns for the Marxist Utopia which has been left in the dustbin of History.

Therefore, Obama sits on the left side of the Bus, and looks out the window to his left.

BTW, always turning to the left is bad for politicians, but good for NASCAR drivers.

Have a heart, BD. Two reasons:

1- 0b0z0 is dyslexic.

2- His left cheek is more dominant than his right one. That’s what his Pah..KISS..Tani boyfriend told him years ago. Reggie confirmed the presidential finding because 0h0m0 can’t find his arse with both hands.

The Ford Museum also owns the original Oscar Mayer Weinermobile.

Obama sitting in that would have been much more appropriate. After all, he is the biggest Weenie ever to hold the Office of President.

obama probably does not have a clue. He is a sham and is hoping that he can continue to fool those that voted for him.

Lucky for him that they no longer teach history in schools.
