Last April, at a campaign fundraiser at the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit, President Obama had a chance to sit and reflect inside the old Montgomery, Ala., bus on which Rosa Parks made history.
“I just sat in there for a moment and pondered the courage and tenacity that is part of our very recent history but is also part of that long line of folks who sometimes are nameless, oftentimes didn’t make the history books, but who constantly insisted on their dignity, their share of the American dream,” Obama told campaign donors.
ABC called this event a “personal moment for Obama.”
Riiiiiiiiiiight. Cuz “personal” moments are always photographed, yapped about to donors, reported on by national newscasters and then recycled months later to honor the oh-so-sensitive Barack Obama on the anniversary of someone else’s courage.
The White Hut recycled the “personal moment” photo yesterday, to “honor” Rosa Parks.
Betcha didn’t know Rosa Parks Day was All About Obama, did you?

And to make it even more annoying, Ctl-+ only increases the TEXT. The image stays the same. Grrrr. Adam Baldwin’s tweet says: “BREAKING: White House orders NASA to rename 7th planet Obamanus.”

No idea. I think Mafia Rose is our behind the curtain tech wizard, but she’s been MIA for ages. Mindful? Somebody?

The atrocities this man committed the last four years were simply a warmup for what is in store.The republicans will either submit to raising taxes and alienate what is left of their base or stand firm(unlikely) and be blamed for the massive tac increases coming.Now that the miscreant has bought a second term he no longer is answerable to anyone.I can think of no eventuality that he would be seriously held to account for by his adoring media.They know it,he knows it.
This country will be a mere shadow of what it was just 10 years ago.And he couldn’t care less.

I think it’s what he wants. I think it’s what he and his cronies have always wanted. They hate the free and prosperous United States of America. They started plotting its downfall a century ago and I’ve yet to see any sign they’re not right on track to succeed.
