Snubbed again.

(Baltimore)Mayor Sheila Dixon got the big brush-off after being shut out of a conference with the nation's most powerful mayors.

It's the latest fallout from her indictment on criminal charges. ---snip---

In a WJZ Exclusive interview, the mayor says she was hurt when Obama made his first public snub. That's when the president failed to mention her name during his big Baltimore visit last month. ----snip--- Both snubs follow Dixon's indictment on perjury, theft and fraud charges.

I'm thinking Obama and the Democrat leadership should hold their next confab in Leavenworth, KS.

What did the people at Levinworth ever do to deserve that? After all, even they have standards.

Is that a list of mayors that Obama is going to be “calling out” when the stimulus money evaporates?

The dem voters in all those cities should be mighty proud of their mayors.

After all, they are now eligible to be a member of zero’s cabinet.
