Artist rendition of the DNC created parade route from Union Station to the Capitol. It is expected that Obama will carry the cross the entire way.

There was a great movie about him and it included the scene where he got on the train knowing that he’d never return. The MSM comparing the Obamination to Lincoln makes me see red!!!!!

What do you mean by the RFK train “unfortunate events?” I am curious cause I was only four (and not good at searching on web). On someone’s train journey (NOT Lincoln’s) I remember seeing at least one Conferderate flag being held. Not sure if Rev Dr MLK Jr had a train or not.

Is that a smoke ring he’s blowing out the top of his head?

Securing the tracks from PHL to DC is going to be a nightmare.

That would presuppose there's some groups out there that want to see him harm .... I don't like him but not at the cost of the world viewing us as a third world country ...

I was thinking the same thing, about the impeached ex president BJ Clinton, this is where gore did not recognize the statue of Jefferson...

I don’t remember the exact details of the RFK train mishap, but it was some kind of crossing accident and one or more people killed or injured; of course this caused the train to run hours late.
To: hinckley buzzard
Wasn’t that on a BUS though? I voted for that dimwit, but thought a bus ride kind of funny.

Just think, people will be able to view him from some of the best train track housing in the US.

Excerpt from "Robert Kennedy: His Life" by Evan Thomas
The trip from New York to Washington, normally about four hours, took twice as long. Two bystanders who had jumped on the tracks in Elizabeth, New Jersey, were killed by a train passing in the other direction. The food ran out, the water ran out; finally, the liquor ran out. The thousand or so passengers stumbled off the train at Washington's Union Station shortly after 9 p.m., to the booming drums of the Navy Band.

I can understand a family drinking after losing 2 brothers/sons/fathers/husbands to assasination, but that excerpt makes it sound like a frat party... especially with a THOUSAND people on board...

If I was on the route, I would do it, but I live in SC.
Of course, the Obama brown-shirts would come and pick me up if I did...

I doubt there's ever been a more unworthy piece of human debris about to become the President of the United States...and boy, we've had some doozies.
I would like to know how we or more importantly our country will ever survive the next 4 years...I've never observed any one, male or female that's been so in love with themselves or thought they were so ENTITLED.
I sure don't like wishing bad weather on any part of our citizenry or countryside...but on Jan. 17th....somehow I can't help thinking a good old fashioned blizzard ......
