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.

Conservative need to start making these signs by the hundred and putting them at every homeless gathering spot in America.
Obama = Hoover is FAR more devastating than Obama = Carter.

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 streetHope they don't lose their heads......in the pursuit of socialism...../s

Theyre not homeless, theyre carbon neutral. Not anymore. Exhaling is a pollutant.

THAT is the comparison I’ve been making since Obama came, saw, and destroyed our nation: Potterville and Griff-ville from “Back to the Future.”
You can feel it—a whole nation turned into a criminals’ paradise.

Choices have consequences, and many chose this looser. Now the whole country is suffering, because of it. Obama voters: do us all a favor, next time, stay home.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 25% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President.
Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -16. Thats the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President (see trends).
