President Obama is hoping to use the shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon as the backdrop for his call for more gun control today, but the locals aren’t standing idly by.
Many are already our in force — over 8,000 by one estimate — telling the president to go home.
Larry Brown @LarryB_in_OK Over 8,000 protesters are lining the streets in #Roseburg to oppose #Obama showing up there today. #ObamaGoHome
Several people on hand are posting photos of the protesters’ signs and messages to Obama.
“My family, my friends, everybody down here is not happy about him coming,” Roseburg native Michelle Finn told The Oregonian yesterday.
“He already says he’s going to politicize this — he’s already going to push his agenda. And if he knew Roseburg and Douglas County, he’d know these are the wrong people to be doing that with.”
#LiveOnKMTR Protesters already out at the Roseburg Airport for Obama's visit with victims of the #UCCShooting
We don't want Obama here! #Roseburg #ObamaGoHome #hewtt @jbiver1 @BZep .@AndyWendt

8000?
Thanks; the western half of NJ still has traditional Americans but their numbers are dwarfed by the coastal half...
And as long as there are no threats, the Sheriff will back the people who are carrying.
Two V-22 Ospreys landed near Roseburg ahead of the Preezy entourage. Dey don’t need no steenking runway!
That’s a lot of SS-men on board.
Well, I don't know if they're "GOP", but most of the Pac Northwest is Conservative once you get out of Seattle/Portland and other big cities.
KGW just showed a smiling, bearded guy with a “Hillary for Prison” t-shirt on.
2012 presidential vote by county.
That’s cool.
Spewing carbon every mile of the way!
Baraq Obama don’t care about global warming!
God bless Roseburg!
Is the Westboro “anti-fag” crowd gonna show up?

Hundreds protest Obama’s arrival in Roseburg. Some plan to turn their backs to him if he drives by. #UCCShooting

In any state you have to win the majority of INDIVIDUAL counties to win the entire state’s electors.
If Portland disappeared tomorrow, the state would be solid
red. We hate jugears with a passion, along with the EPA, BLM, and the Forest Service.

I think they only show up at the funerals.
This time they might run into some real trouble.
I am an Oregonian and most of Oregon isn’t actually that liberal. Eastern Oregon is very conservative. However, most of the population in Oregon lives in the Willamette Valley. Portland is at the North end of the valley and it is extremely liberal and has a huge population in relation to the rest of the state. Salem (the state capital) and its surrounding county (Marion County) actually lean ever so slightly conservative. Eugene is towards the southern end of the Willamette Valley and is a university town (U of O) and a major liberal stronghold in the southern Willamette Valley. South of Eugene, Oregon gets very rural and strongly libertarian (though not entirely conservative). In the Roseburg area there is actually is a large survivalist community. So, I am not surprised that President Obama’s gun control agenda is not welcome down there.
There is hope yet for this country!
I love the guy with the OBAMA FREE ZONE sign!
I am guessing they didn't count on this.
Apologies to all I offended.
But, y’all have to admit we never hear about the real people living outside Portland. It’s good to know you’re out there.
btw; how are the mosquitoes ?
