I wonder is the wookie has the car w/ plate 800 001?

I feel sorry for the man...he is obviously in mental anguish or delirium.

I see a man stripped of all dignity by a government that was supposed to "help" him. Bereft of pride, reduced to being a supplicant. The option of being even a humble contributor to society denied him.

I grew up in a rural area around older black men, who's lives were likely much harder than this man's. They never lost their dignity or industry. They had pride in their abilities to endure if not prosper. I can only imagine how they would feel seeing this.

No wonder Obama is taking off for his luxurious India trip right after the election.

At least over there the importuning street beggars are usually laying around dead and will be hauled to the sidewalks so they don't interfere with his limo convoy.

I often look at white trash today...we all know what I’m talking about...they have lost their identity

when i grew up poor country and working class urban whites had dignity and morals and were very good mannered...my kinfolks mostly...my paternal grandpa was the only one who had ever made it “big” and he got lucky and worked hard with war contracts

now...we haven’t brought UP any group, we’ve just brought down all groups to a lower level which can transcend money btw

Before Obama, Americans didn’t bow.

Americans still don't.

[CPT Clay]

Good one.

Is this America, or some third world hell hole?

[DakotaGator]

Help! I just got ObamaCare and can't get up!!

The first thing that popped to mind was slavery and taskmasters when I saw that pic.
Pathetic.

[Safrguns]

Now I lay me down to beg...
Please Obama... Where's my keg?
If I should die before the masses wake...
I pray that Palin ends up at the bottom of the lake!

I just heard a noise. I’m not going to swear to anything...but I think it was MLK,Jr. rolling over in his grave.

[EternalVigilance]

Someone should photoshop “666” onto that license plate.

[EternalVigilance]

Badabing.

Knew that reply was coming...
