Is it because that happened so soon after Inauguration Day that it could easily be blamed on George W. Bush, and that given the name given to this area that's no longer possible?

I pass this area every day and have stopped a couple of times to bring these guys some things (as much as I can in these terrible times). The area is right near a veteran's center, sandwiched between I-25 and the river. Most of them have been there since last year.

A lot of these people are veterans and are there to access the vet medical clinic nearby. One guy closest to the freeway raises and lowers the American flag each day on a makeshift pole. I doubt sincerely that these signs displayed in the article could have been created or paid for by any of these folks. Likely, they were placed there by people with an agenda other than helping these needy and deserving folks survive what has so far been a brutal winter.

What's needed here are blankets and food and prayers. Not disingenuous crap and lies. These folks have been used and discarded enough.

Hi, I believe that you are correct. In one of the other threads posted about this specific "obamaville," there was a posting by an individual familiar with that sign.

At first posters presumed it was a sign costing over a hundred dollars, but later in the the thread, someone said that THIS same identical sign is found at various American tent cities, and that it is available ONLINE to download.

Actually, the guy who made the sign (not the guy who paid the 150.00 to have it made) has replaced the sign with one that says they need food and sterno.

Because you stop there, I’m sure you’ve seen it.
If the Obama sign is still there, a personal photo from you would be nice.

"What's needed here are blankets and food and prayers. Not disingenuous crap and lies. These folks have been used and discarded enough."

Well, IF the sign had not been made and displayed, literally Hundreds of Thousands of people would not know about it. And I would venture that out of those Hundreds of Thousands a few will send those folks help. So if you are calling the sign disingenuous then maybe its time for reflection.

The basic rule of advertising is you got to tell thousands to get hundreds to answer your call. The guy who made the sign is waaaay ahead of the game! (I am sure some nice liberals stole liberated the sign to keep Barry Hussein's reputation unsullied.)
