I saved the picture onto my hard drive and scaled it to 150% size.

To me the man kneeling looks to be a homeless man (donated clothes, a warm but torn and dirty coat) who is so desperate for help that he is kneeling beside the Presidential limo praying for Obama to help him.

Either religion has failed him or he somehow was never exposed to or accepted the invisible God that made all things that he can have faith in. So he worships the one man on earth who he believes has near absolute power,

I would not make fun of him. He is human like us. I truly feel sorry for him.

To me it is a very, very sad picture...

This is America. As long as he has freedom he has opportunity.

He looks to government as a god that will provide for his needs.

I find the picture viscerally disgusting.

Look - these are bad times. Americans aren't hard-hearted - but we've been played for fools long enough. We all have stories. I was shopping a few days back and while getting in my car - a woman pulled up beside me and commented on a woman and two kids asking people to buy them a meal. I told her I would try to find them... and give them something. She was upset - it didn't feel like her country either. I looked for the family, but someone else must have bought them the meal. People without jobs - and losing hope...it's awful. Freepers are expressing anger because much of the trouble we're in can be traced back to liberals wanting to 'feel good about themselves' and giving away things that we couldn't afford to give away. And someday soon, when we'll really need that money to help citizens, it won't be there. It won't be there because it was squandered by elites who wanted to feed their ego - rather than be responsible. Or just plain old buying votes the legal way... No one here wants people to suffer - but what's happened to our dignity? Bowing to a politician is not what this country is about. We've never been broken. It's OK to be angry about the picture. It's OK to express that anger.

To post 100, very heartbreaking. Prayers for this man.
