I hear ya. It’s all about Symbolism. photo op.

I’ve never studied Saul Alinsky at depth.. but

after posting pics of two of his followers

up to their necks in liberal ideologies.. regardless

this is turning out to be quite the lesson. :-]

I know it’s a Obama thread but personally I think Hil went to Asia to check on who would offer her and Bill political asylum and the best deals....

Can he even find it? I only visited Springfield, Ill. a couple of times but was probably there longer than he was as a state senator.

Obama pictures are looking more and more stupid after two weeks. This guy is in over his head and doesn’t even seem to know it.
