The group “Texas A&M’s Young Conservatives” is organizing a protest. In attendance will be members from area TEA Parties as well. The protesters have been issued their permits and assigned a spot where they can congregate.

That spot is well out of sight of President Obama, those attending the event, and one would imagine the media.

As the attached campus photo shows, Obama will be appearing in the are indicated by the red square, whereas the protesters will be behind a parking garage and another building as indicated by the yellow highlighted area.

The A&M administration is apparently striving to avoid bad press like it received in October of 2008, when the Texas A&M Young Conservatives held an “Anti-Obama Carnival” on the tradition steeped campus in College Station.

Last year the Texas A&M Young Conservatives embarrassed A&M campus officials with an "Anti-Obama Carnival" warning against Obama's economic policies...now, as A&M plans to host Obama tomorrow the Young Conservatives, Tea Party groups and others who are going to protest have been assigned a protest area far from public view.

So is he going to tour the George FW Bush Presidential Library? That might make for some fun photo ops.

What's that asshole doing at A&M, dirtying up my campus!

Obama, get the hell out! Go to Detroit where they worship you and your "Obama dollars".

If it’s YOUR campus then go to the admin and confront them and read them the riot act.

It's amazing to me every time I hear of people getting "permits" to do what is otherwise spelled out PERFECTLY CLEAR in the Constitution!

SCREW THAT AND THEIR DAMN RULES, JUST GET OUT THERE AND DO YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY!!!

It has been reported that 600 LaRouche followers are being bussed in. They need to be polite and not act like the pricks at Columbia, Harvard, or Berkley. It is an invitation only event.

It’s my campus also. When I went to A&M back in 1980, 98% of the campus was for Reagan.

I don’t think it would be that way now, but it is still primarily conservative.

My 912 group is going from Arlington, TX. Others are chartering buses from D/FW.

A way around this problem would be to issue hundreds of air horns to the protesters, who at a given signal, blow them at the same time (while hopefully wearing ear plugs). This will mean that at intervals, while Obama is bloviating, there will be an enormous “HONK!” sound, and everyone in attendance will wonder what just happened.

Then, perhaps 30 seconds later, another “HONK!” Then 1 minute after that “HONK!” And then silence.

Instead of listening to the blowhard, everyone will be waiting on the tip toes for the next “HONK!” sound. If they wait, then give one last “HONK!” about three minutes later, Obama might as well go home, because nobody is going to pay any attention to him at all.
