Interesting Obama Poster Placement in Savannah, GA

Obama poster

I returned from vacation this morning and just had to share this with you guys. The first leg of our trip was a visit to beautiful Savannah, GA. While trying to get my bearings upon our arrival, I made a wrong turn and ended up in a neighborhood that ... I would not normally visit. However, we spotted this interesting sight and I made it a point to get a shot of it while leaving this area.

This is located at the corner of Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd and Victory. Now, some might simply see this as just an unfortunate placement of two posters, but others may have different views as to what kind of statement this makes.

So, without comment, I present this image for your consideration and comments.

Expected. The entire Islamic world is rooting for B-HO bigtime. And some Mohammedans (like those in Gaza) are actively campaigning for him.

I am from Savannah, however, I live in Illinois now (since 2000). I know this place and it does have the best fish in town, however, they are Racist and give off a bit of it when you go into their store.

It's not an unfortunate placement of the two signs (posters). It is what they are all about! And that is what Obama is all about and they are the proof in the pudding for sure. They know if Obama is president, he will be all about them and whitie can ride in the back of the bus now.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd always is located in the safest and most lucrative areas in our nation.
I hear it also almost always has the brightest people in the country there because that Blvd. always signifies you are near a paradise.

I am shocked to see a Malcolm X sign...NOT!

Welcome to our city!

Interesting you would see that. The Shabazz that owns that restaurant is indeed related to Malcolm X (a cousin or something).

She ran for office locally using that fact. She lost.

The Victory/MLK area is actually not near as bad as it use to be. With the spread of the Savannah College of Art and Design, all of the old buildings are being fixed up so they can get huge rents from sucker students and yuppies who don’t know they are getting ripped off.

Hope the rest of your stay in my fine city went ok!

The intersection of Malcolm X Ave and MLK JR Ave is right at the front gate of Bolling AFB in Washington DC.

Not a nice place…

Savannah was fantastic. We checked out as much as we had time for, or before collapsing from all the walking we did. We did see many of the design students biking around town with sketch pads and the like. I told my girlfriend that even Savannah’s “bad” neighborhoods looked better than other city’s best historic districts. Also we toured the house Jim Williams restored (the Mercer-Williams House Museum) and even met a guy that worked for Williams. We’re likely to return next year, there was also a lot we missed seeing.

A paradise of gold on the streets, or at least around a lot of necks.

Oh come on, it has to be heaven on earth.
I bet the crime rate is among the lowest in the country as well.

Shoot, I was almost run off the road by a little old white haired lady leaving the church parking lot after mass - in her volvo staion wagon with an Obama bumper sticker.

Most of the parent cars picking up kids at my DD’s parochial school are sporting Obama stickers.

Typical upper middle class guilty-feeling white people.

Heh that pic should be captioned “Bad business strategies”.

Wonder how much business they lose with that nonsense. I certainly would not eat there.

I don't know how you could have trusted these people with your food? They are some of the worst hatemongers in the world. They are Berry and Michelle Hussein Obambi’s kind of people.

Why shouldn’t they? His full name is Barack Hussein Muhammad Obama! See here: http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/2649
Go to where it says “Letter from Africa”

To Malcolm Little’s defense, he did repudiate racism later in his life before some of his extremist followers gunned him down for doing so.

Check out Obama’s symbol in the poster. Is that “whitey’s blood” flowing down the river?

We used to go to a place to buy boiled shrimp by the pound,
it was called Despositos? Still there?

They would bring it to you on newsprint and all the tables had a hole in the middle for the shells.
That was a while ago though.

Oh Yeh! My Mom and Dad use to frequent there in the 50’s and it’s still (sort of) on the banks of the Wilmington River. My wife also use to eat there.

As far as I know, the tables are still the same, but, I haven’t been in the place.
