ATKINSON, ILLINOIS -- President Obama is spending the last day of his Midwest bus tour in Illinois, the state that launched his political career. This morning, on his way to the first of two town halls that he will participate in today, the president made a detour to visit the Whiteside County Fair in Morrison, Ill.
After greeting some of the people visiting the fair, the president stopped by the dairy cow contest. Im probably not the guy to judge this stuff, Obama said.
Obama then posed for pictures and worked the ropeline, signing autographs as he went along. I don't want to see any of these on E-Bay, he joked.

Nope, not a narcissist.
Getting chummy with the locals. No campaign stop here.
The Obamamobile rolls into Atkinson, IL, pop. 972, where Obama must think he can draw a crowd of more than a hundred or two. If he went to a larger venue in this RED area of IL he’d be booed.
“Drops By”
BS! If you believe that, I have a bridge I want to sell you.
Any chance this cow was there?
“the state that launched his political career?”.....
More like the state he screwed over to get his socialist agenda rolling...
What's the odds on that? He just "drops by" the fair and what do you know, there's a rope line!

Rope-a-dope.......
Thank god I’m flying into Peoria tomorrow and not today.
“the state that launched his political career?”.....
You mean the state he screwed over to get his socialist agenda rolling...
He’ll win for the prize bull.
Judge? Shove a scoop in his hands and tell him to start picking up all that "stuff" he spreads everywhere he goes.

Perhaps there was a chance to see a “flash mob” beating up on Whitey”!!!
As a neighbor in next door Indiana, I’ve always felt bad for the large part of Illinois that’s good people, but dominated by the Chicago political mob.
Eating Fried Constitutions on a stick.
Was there some flash mob to “beat Whitey” at the county fair?
Talk about an unoriginal thinker & copy-cat!! First the bus tour & now the county fair.
Who does Obama think he is - Sarah Palin?
get a little antelope poop on me boots
Put on a real Southern African drawl
Slap some whiteys err skin...
