An energetic group of patriots lined the streets of US 82 in Strongsville awaiting the presidential motorcade.
Creative signs, concerned citizens and good conversation prevailed. The police were out in force but all acknowledged that this was NOT going to be a problem protest. A light misty rain was falling the entire time & I was continually wiping off the lens of my camera.
Akron Right to Life
Many candidates were there meeting people including judge candidates Mike Astrab and Peter Corrigan. The Akron Right to Life had a large contingency present including director Gregory Frank.

The Medina and the Strongsville GOP had canopies up & the Strongsville group had free coffee/tea & a heater for any who stopped by. After the presidential party passed Chick-fil-a workers passed out chicken sandwiches to all who wanted one.
Just prior to the motorcade an SUV with sniffer pup was out checking out the crowd. Driving to various areas & the dog checked out everyone. Hope the dog got a sandwich!
I felt that the route would NOT be 82 but a side entrance off of US 42 as I was amazed by the lack of Secret Service (did not see one)and they are normally very conspicuous.
The Presidential LIMO FLEW past the protesters/signs. Unless The One had his eyes closed he would have had to seen and be aware of the group.
Macaroni Grill afterward for a late lunch before going to my next commitment.
I knew many Freepers would be there & looked for the several I knew. I only found Commiewatcher & it was nice to see him again. We did many Freeps together in years past.

Here I am with one of the members of the Strongsville GOP club on whose property the Club tent was set up.
Also is Joe Baruth(Uncle Sam) who is chaplain of the NE Ohio Tea Party.

Thank you for posting these wonderful pictures. There was no mention of this on our evening news. There was just a clip of an angry looking Obama speaking at the rally.
Good job.
Looks like they had more patriots outside the rally then seiu members inside. Wonder why I did not see that on fox?
You guys did great! Hopefully no matter where they go they will be greeted by WE THE PEOPLE!
Thanks for the FReep and for the post!

Yes there definitely were more where we were. There was another big area closer to the Rec Center that hopefully someone covered & can post pix..
New Japanese book out now on the shelves here in Tokyo CALLING PRESIDENT OBAMA A "FASCIST" and taking apart his psyche, mass-brainwashing approach, personal advisors/inner circle, and general intent. オバマ: 危険な生体 Fascinating.
This man deserves every grassroots demonstration against him that he encounters. Let's take our country BACK!! folks!!!!! The whole WORLD is beginning to see "it".
Thank You N’OHIO
Thanks for the ping! Great photos....wish I could have been there!
That is what is amazing. The American people have been asleep! We are at war. An insideous war fought covertly within our own borders. We MUST take a stand!
Want to bet that book will soon be on the shleves of Barnes and Noble? /sarcasm

Thanks for the heads up on the book
Bret Baier's "Special Report" ran a very quick video of you all lined up along the street to "greet" the Bamster... I was SO happy to see the signs and Gadsden flags lining the route!
Thank you again... GREAT JOB!
Everyone is wearing a great smile!
The left always looks angry when they’re doing their thang.
Great job by everyone who stood out there today to give BO a piece of America's mind!
my hands were pretty cold as I don’t wear gloves when I am using a camera. I kept walking around up & down both sides of street so kept warm that way.
the misty rain just kept the camera lens full of sweet polka dots!
He was likely very angry that the peasants lined his motorcade route with signs condemning his attempted takeover of American health care.
DollyCali said in her report that the presidential limo FLEW past the protesters. I am picturing in my mind's eye BO sitting in the back of his limo, banging on the glass partition and screaming at the driver to step on it to get past all the protesters.
"Poor baby. Poor baby."
LOL!
They have been too busy with their big screen TVs and beer drinking fests down at the river and watching "Dancing with the Stars". Is it any wonder? Is it any surprise?
This is what happens to a nation when it is opiated on pan e circo (Bread and Circuses).
The US mass media has always wanted it this way, and the American People have eaten that vomit up with glee. Now the chickens may just come home to roost. But it may well be too late. All it would have taken on the part of so many Americans was a slightly higher level of intellectual curiosity, study and investigation, instinct and action. Being brain dead, one cannot expect such virtues to come so easily, though.
