Generally, when you do find urban areas where his job approval rating is higher than normal....there’s also a higher percentage of gun and assault crimes. Now, you can’t really associate the two numbers....it’s odd that it works out in 99.9 percent of all cases.

Obama represents the “Government Party.”

The Government vs. the rest of America - it will come even more clearly into focus over the next 10 years.

Angelo Codevilla explained this well in his book THE RULING CLASS. No matter how badly America does DC will do fine, thank you very much. They’re busy helping the poor. They take money from the labor of one group, give it to their supporters, and they can reward themselves for helping make America a better place.

If so..

The Politico article is useless. What were the protesters protesting? If it were Tea Party people or pro Chick Fil A types, that would have been well covered, so I assume it must have been OWS types.

Capitol Hill is the one true Utopia— no one works and everyone eats.

So why is there no outcry to pass a law against Obama? Guns don’t kill people, Obama kills people.

DC just dropped below 50% Black in the past year, its lowest percentage in a LONG time. Zero’s support in DC comes from all the gargantuo gubmint worker parasites, and those come in all colors. They live in a complete disconnect from the rest of the country.

It shows that despite his comfiness in D.C., other parts of the country are drastically fed up with him. If you can’t recognize that, then you’re setting up a double-standard which invalidates OWS rape, vandalism, and other non-common occurences.

———I am beginning to wonder if Ca might go for Romney in the general election.-——

That thought never entered my mind.

If he does, I will be apologizing to the FReepers there for ever I guess. My thought has been it doesn’t matter who they vote for because Obama will prevail

I visited DC in April, the prosperity was palpable.
The place is booming.

I just read Big Sis is hiring 1400 more staff to process Baraq’s amnesty program on an expedited basis.

Has BO been spending a lot of advertising dollars in CA lately?

Hasn’t CA changed its electoral vote rules to “winner take all”?

CA is a big, fat, juicy plum.

It’s amazing what trillions of dollars will do for a joint.

I’ve told several “youts” they should apply for one of those 15,000 new IRS jobs to administer Obamacare.
