A book was thrown at Barack Obamas head during his Germantown rally yesterday in Philadelphia, while a streaker also tainted the event that was supposed to rally Obamas hardcore base of predominantly black supporters. Few white people were to be seen in the crowd in the Germantown neighborhood of Northwest Philadelphia, known for its huge African-American population. The tainting of what was supposed to be a pump-up rally of the last few vestiges of Obamas remaining support in the country instead degenerated into something of a debacle, with the Secret Service now facing questions regarding their apparent laxity in security that actually allowed a book to narrowly miss hitting Obamas head and a flabby streaker to disrupt the rally.

Obomba probably enjoyed watching the streaker.

I can’t help but wonder if this was wasn’t all part of the stageing of this event, considering the casting call being exposed on Drudge right now.

... a streaker also tainted the event ...Is the author suggesting that there's something wrong with public nudity? How conservative of him!

As much as I despise 0bama, there’s no room for that kind of sh*t. The regime will blame Tea Partiers for it. I wouldn’t even be surprised if it was arranged to occur.

On the other hand, it may not be totally out of the question that some African-Americans can be upset enough at Obama to hurl a projectile at his head in the form of a book that narrowly missed him.Of course it's not. I bet there are many blacks in Philly that think he hasn't given them their stuff fast enough.

There are probably many blacks who are a little teed-off about being unemployed, too - black unemployment has risen 4% and the black poverty rate has really climbed under Obama. Maybe the bloom is off the Socialist rose for them and they’re realizing that his program means nothing but subservience and stagnation for the black community.
One can only hope they realize it.

I'm pretty sure the fat Hispanic exhibitionist is not sympathetic with the tea party movement. Although the author sarcastically calls him a capitalist for trying to collect on a $1M prize for streaking in front of Obama.
