Where are the green jacket guy and wailing woman (from Lebanon) when you need them as extras?

Oh yeah, I hadn’t thought of them. They would be great cast in the roles of victims of Romney’s corporate greed and indifference.
You beat me to it————
Wa-hoo-wah!
He’s trying to get the young vote back by appearing on a college campus and showing his shuck and jive. Note to Obama: The youth are sick and fed up with you. I would be too if I had just gotten my college degree and there were no jobs to be found anywhere.
What better way to show the importance of education than by forcing the cancellation of 186 classes and otherwise disrupting Grounds on the second day of the semester.
Wah-Hoo-Wah!
How about a Day Care center maybe he will get lucky and stumble onto a Day Care center with a Tot fight club.
MMM Barack Hussein Obama
LOL!!!!
He doesn’t need a university setting...can’t he just set up
the cardboard Greek columns in a landfill somewhere?
At least he’d be with his fellow Rats!
I don’t know Sabato, and wouldn’t like him if I did.
Zero is using laundered tax payer money to fund his campaign no doubt
DAMN! That’s like being rebuked by the DNC.

When Michelle came to Virginia Tech this year, they drove her up from Roanoke. They shut down the local road just for the motorcade only. Same with Biden. And they let Biden wander the Drillfield.
