Today is the anniversary of Rosa Parks’ refusal to sit in the back of the bus in Montgomery, Ala. And this photograph of President Obama sitting on that exact same bus 57 years later is a poignant reminder of just how much America has changed in half a century.

Please reread my first sentence.
RP was carefully selected to perform her act of defiance and part of an orchestrated campaign. Not that that's bad, it just wasn't very spontaneous.
How many takes did to get that facial expression of being pensive just right?
Is there anything this “man” won’t exploit for personal/political gain?
What sacrifices have you made, Barack?
Sitting on a bus as if you’ve suffered hardship in your life?
Please.
Right now, the only seat you are occupying is on AF1 on yet another expensive, taxpayer funded vacation when your ass should be sitting in the chair in the Oval Office - you do remember what the Oval Office is, right?
With the impending “financial cliff” getting closer and closer, this is no time for photo ops and vacations - get your ass to work you f****in’ slacker!
You’ve done nothing but campaign, party and vacation for the past 5 years. You are out of excuses, out of people to blame. Fleeing the mainland when the going gets tough. Again?
The Obama voters will finally see what a fraud this “man” is now that he has to work and not campaign for 4 years instead of doing his job. The media can only mask the smell of a rotting fish for so long - at some point, Obama will have to do the job of POTUS, not fly around the country for photo ops and vacations.
It’s time for Mr. “Hope & Change” to go to work and show us all how brilliant he thinks he is.
Unfortunately, 2008 was no time to put an amateur into office, yet that’s what the voters did and now the bill is due. Past due and it’s going to be expensive.
I don’t wish bad on anyone, but I hope that the necessary spending cuts hit Obama voters the hardest so they learn a tough but necessary lesson and that is to vote for substance and not style.
Instead of demonizing intelligent, accomplished people like Sarah Palin, people should be begging her to run for POTUS but sadly, the takers are allergic to her cure for what ails America - hard work, self-accountability, not blaming others for your own misfortunes, etc...
Instead, they welcome people like Obama who instill a “blame others” mentality in them or reinforce it and tell them that they are owed something and that the rich should pay, because after all, rich = evil.
Never mind that Obama managed to get rich being a public servant and will make a fortune after he leaves office - he will continue to speak out against Capitalism and against those evil rich that are carrying this country with the jobs they create and with the taxes they pay.
I bet Obama’s forgotten what the inside of the Oval Office even looks like.
Didn’t he have the arrogance to once say that? “Republicans ride in the back of the bus!”
windowlicker
Who’s under the bus?
Obama is just the “Stall” in the big Democrat pickpocket scheme.
I don’t get it. He supposedly flew to MI for this photo op today? Nothing on the WH schedule about him traveling and haven’t seen anything on the news about it.....
Desparatley seeking icon status.
Fabricated Icon status
Many of Zer0’s Afro-American voter base think they too are part white. They think that their great-great-grandmothers were continuously raped by their white slave masters to produce offspring that would populate their plantation with fresh slaves. Such a fantasy, isn’t it?
And she was victimized by lifelong Democrats.
He’s half white, that’s why he’s sitting about half way to the back.
How about a pic of Obama hard at work in the Oval Office?
Or does such a thing not exist without being staged?
“I don’t get it. He supposedly flew to MI for this photo op today? Nothing on the WH schedule about him traveling and haven’t seen anything on the news about it.....”
That’s because this is not a current picture. I know I’ve seen it before. Researching.
The REST of the story about Obama and buses and photo oops...

President Obama has Tour Buses Flown to Stump Speeches

Yep. He was campaigning back in April when this was snapped. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/04/obama-sits-reflects-on-rosa-parks-bus/
In fairness, MSN article does not state that he was commemorating the event today. The dingbat readers of this publication are left to make that assumption I guess.
