“If Obama has lost the guy that owns the neighborhood “Gentleman’s Club”, then it’s very, very bad news for him.”

Especially in Richmond, Va - if you know what I mean.

[chris_bdba]

Have they never understood what “freedom of speech” means?

[Dahoser]

So the problem is not that there is a strip club in the neighborhood, but that their führer is being depicted as the clown he is?

Yup. That's the problem. And they have that problem with a straight face.

[annieokie]

Yes it would and it is a REAL possiblity.

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

Note the neon sign, “Gentlemen’s Club.” The place is a strip joint.

Thirteen year old Jamilia Cunningham is one of them. She says when she saw the banner she was left speechless and that the image is disrespectful to a man who has made history.

Somebody should show sweet cherub Jamilia these:

[No Socialist]

Obama will be making a lot of history. First Dictator of US, worse than Jimmy Carter, to name a few. Historical Presidencey indeed.

[iceskater]

I think you mean “Saad ElAmin”. He went to jail. He’s gone now.

"so perhaps you can enlighten me as to why you think Andrew Jackon is/was African American."

Genealogist and historians have concurred that, there were 5 US presidents that had black ancestry prior to Zero.

They include:

Thomas Jefferson

Andrew Jackson

Abraham Lincoln

Warren Harding

and Calvin Coolidge.

I thought Impeached President Clinton was the first African American president.....

Somebody post this guy’s email...I want to THANK HIM.

[Allegra]

Freedom of speech, freedom of expression...

Deal with it, whiners.

Oh, and by the way, the race card isn't accepted here anymore.

It's not about race and never was. It's about socialism.

You made your bed; now lie in it.

[Gopher Broke]

The news link at the top has an online poll on whether the banner is racist.....

Wait till 13 year old Jamilia finds out he wants her to go to school more hours each day, and more days per year.

or by the time she's 18 she....

has mandatory "volunteer" service hours to fulfill
her family's energy bills "necessarily skyrocket"
there a food shortages due to the fiasco in CA
she can't find a job
she must purchase health insurance or go to jail
she can't get medical care because of rationing
her family's taxes are thru the roof thanks to cap n tax, zero care, and the expiration of the Bush tax cuts

This massively ignorant little ObamaBot is in for one heck of a rude awakening..

[Dream Warrior]

Freedom of ah, um ah wha ya call it? Speech,

[calex59]

It is NOT in bad taste, it is a political poster, and is aimed at his policies and is right on the money. Posters of Palin and Bush, for example, were personal and not political at all.

[b4its2late]

Yep. A good slap upside the head.
