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.
Excellent post, FromLori.
Did you happen to find any pics that showed the camp in the background as well as the banner?
I would like to send out to my dem. friends, and I want to make sure that they don’t get confused and think Obamaville is some new successful up and coming community;)
I lived for six months earlier this year in San Diego, in the People’s Republic of California and I can tell you from first hand experience there are ARMIES of homeless leaving on the streets. It’s so bad the cops have long given up running the down and out off all but the main streets. At night just off Broadway, the main drag in San Diego, a village of tents..TENTS! pop up on the sidewalks near the public library. I should add during the day, the smell of urine and feces fill the air making the downtown experience very unpleasant.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH LITTLE BROTHER OBAMA!
The only reason the Leftard media did the video was because they wanted to screw over the guy to put the sign up.
:)
I found one...

Priceless! Someone finally tells the truth. Homelessness hasn’t grown this fast since the late 70’s and I fear that soon it will be hard to be anywhere and not have a camp like this local.
...And they’ll be named “Obamavilles” just like in the Great Depression they were called “Hoovervilles” - President Zero may move mountains and has the Lamestream Media in his pocket, but the die is cast - This New Depression is his work, and he will get the responsibility.
...and maybe the civil war complete with the traditional execution of the king....
No sorry no other pictures or info. I was looking for other reports on it to see if anyone else was even covering it I am surprised they covered it at all.
In your tagline, you forgot Arafat and Mr.Jimma Carter.
WV did not vote for zero. 56/43 the opposite way.
