A woman’s prized life-size Obama statue was stolen—and she was so distressed she went to a hospital
Rare News ^

Posted on 08/28/2014 5:47:00 AM PDT by TigerClaws

Tiffany Bruce of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania had saved up for months to buy a life-size Barack Obama statue for her front porch — and then someone stole it.

The loss of the statue, which cost a whopping $1,249, sent Bruce to the hospital, WNEP reports.

“I just wanted to wait until I got it on sale, so I started buying my furniture before I purchased the statue, but I had to have it,” said Bruce. “I peeked my head out the door and Obama’s gone and I kind of went into a panic. I couldn’t breathe, and I had to go to the hospital.” - See more at: http://rare.us/story/a-womans-prized-life-size-obama-statue-was-stolen-and-she-was-so-distressed-she-went-to-a-hospital/#sthash.r4JqTkp2.dpuf

"I kind of went into a panic. I couldn’t breathe, and I had to go to the hospital"

I'll lay odds that I along with the rest of the tax payers paid for her hospital visit.

Anyone who would buy something like that belongs in a hospital, a mental hospital.

Wasn’t Bams found sitting in a park with an empty 6 pack? Why so stressed? If all it takes to get rid of him is leave him on the porch overnight, we should rejoice!

Through out history — Roman emperors claiming to be gods, the Divine Right of Kings, the Cult of Personality of Hitler and Stalin, the hero worship of Juan Peron — people have willingly worshiped their leaders. Let’s not fool ourselves into thinking that it can’t happen here too.

If she had chained him to the bench that would have been a “political statement”. ;-)

Anyone who would spend $1200 on an Obama statue needs a hospital.

If you are going that direction, an empty chair would have worked just as well.

I wish someone would steal the real one.
Put us out our misery, with added benefit of watching his followers have exploding heads and melt downs.

Funny, but I would not even want that on my lawn...perhaps under a pigeon nest.
