'Obamaville' sign posted near homeless camp
kjct.8.com ^ | 12/10/09

Posted on 12/12/2009 8:00:21 AM PST by FromLori

Someone has put a lot of thought into a welcome sign that may surprise you, it's in front of a homeless camp off I-25 in Colorado Springs.

Its message, "Welcome to Obamaville, Colorado's fastest growing community." Despite repeated calls no one could answer the question, who put up the sign?

To some homeless the sign's message says enough. Mark Limonez, a homeless man living in "tent city", says the sign doesn't make him feel good about trying to get back on his feet. "Guys are trying to work but there's not enough work out there, so they go pan handling or flag a sign" Limonez says, "I've never seen so many camps since I've been out in the streets - there's no money."

There are no logos on the front of the sign and no clues to where it comes from.

Funny, but rooted in the idea that government owes them a living.

Obama’s stimulus plan promises jobs - Careers- msnbc.com

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28695368/

In his weekly radio address on Jan. 10, 2009, Barack Obama said the No. 1 goal of his economic stimulus plan is to create 3 million new jobs in the next two years.

Less than 20 percent of them will be government jobs.

How sweet it is!

Not really!!!

For millions of American are a few paychecks away from joining "Colorado's fastest growing community" as well.

Believe me, before I wind up in a homeless camp, not that I am even close, but you never know, I will be in DC throwing my "Representatives" out into the streets to be tarred and feathered and would not mind seeing a few traitorous ones hung in the street.

They’re not homeless, they’re carbon neutral.

U betcha! That is a very expensive Vinyl sign that cost almost $125. My community protested a hotel encroachment on the Critical area in Kinnards point, a bay housing project on a “neck” in the Chesapeake bay. I purchased 10 of the signs for making our point. We won! They Cost 1,500 for the lot.

The guy who did that sign got it off the Internet........ God bless the Internet!

An artist or sign painter may have donated it.... as a political statement.

I think Obamaville is a reference to Hooverville.

My apologies if you knew this already.

the sweet part is the sign and what it says. When the socialists voted in their leaders they must also suffer for their votes so next time they will not do it.

In WV they are laying off 500 coal miners, WV voted for O.

Amazing. Funny part is the Pressholes would not be asking who posted the sign if it said “Bushville”. That wouldn’t fit their template.

They’ll have to get the “stormtroopers” to investigate it.

Obama’s Weekly Radio Address 02 21 09

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vWmtPRPpJo

THE PRESIDENT: Earlier this week, I signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act — the most sweeping economic recovery plan in history. Because of this plan, 3.5 million Americans will now go to work doing the work that America needs done.

...Because of what we did, lives will be saved and health care costs will be cut with new computerized medical records.

^
This is funny and sad, Obama even claims his Stimulus bill will lower Health Care Cost
