'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.

I live in the Colorado Springs area and I was unaware of the sign. Colorado Springs has been experiencing some very cold weather in recent days, single digit & minus O temperatures at night. Supposed to warm up again next week, but it has to be tough on these homeless people living in tents.

I can’t believe 25% strongly approve of this POS commie. Shocking how stupid some Americans really are.

All it needs is one of those “brought to you by the recovery act” logos they put on highway projects.

OBAMAVILLE

Gett’n a head fake,
watchin’ msn’s take;
All of their punts oozing foul oil.
Clean’n my six gun on my front porch swing.
Felling my blood—
It’s beginnin’ to boil.
Wasted away again in Obamaville,
Searchin’ for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that Bush is to blame,
But I know it’s Obama’s fault.
There’s no rime or reason,
They are all commitin’ treason
With nothing to show but a brand new tax or two.
But they are real beauties,
Despotic duties, how they got passed
I haven’t a clue.
Wasted away again in Obamaville,
Searchin’ for a job so I can earn my salt..
Some people claim that it’s Bush we should blame,
Now I think,— hell with them it’s Obama’s fault.
I blew out my flip flop,
Stepped on a pop top;
Cut my heel, but I just cruise on back home.
Because no medical care will the doctors render
They say there’s little service I can tender
And there’s no need for me to hang on.
Wasted away again in Obamaville
Searchin’ for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that Bush is to blame,
But I know, it’s my own damn fault.
Yes, and some people claim that Bush is to blame, And I know because of my vote it’s my own damn fault.

It's a *very* good line.

But they are still breathing and exhaling...

We should evict zero from White House and sent him in this Obamaville (better in Kenia, but I suspect he will prefer American jail instead of Kenia)

Love the video, news is only concerned with who posted the sign, no reporting on how many homeless live there etc.
