Re: Bad aim....

"A book was thrown at Barack Obama’s head during his Germantown rally yesterday in Philadelphia, while a streaker also tainted the event that was supposed to rally Obama’s hardcore base of predominantly black supporters."

Wow...there is hope for America. I wonder what the title of the book was. Running a free country for dummies?

Free to throw objects in the face of the president? I hope you do not seriously think that's a form of freedom.

It happened in my country last winter. But italians seem to have better aim. And although I do strongly disapprove the policies of our current prime minister, I felt sympathy for him when I saw him in pain with a bleeding face. That's not a thing that civilized people should do.

"actually allowed a book to narrowly miss hitting Obama’s head and a flabby streaker to disrupt the rally."

Flabby Streaker, classic

I would argue that a civilized person do not seek to systematically disassemble the greatest country to world has ever known... but hey thats just me

Re: Bad aim....

I guess Obama needs to fire his screening company for letting an actor thru that threw a book at him.

Maybe he'll have better luck with the actors at the next town hall meeting.

I see the hilarious side of this thing, and I didn't want to spoil your thread with serious remarks.
But then when someone else popped up saying it's about freedom, oh come on...

Re: Bad aim....

Obama: "Republicans are counting on black folks and union members staying home"

What a racist thing to say

YouTube - Obama: Republicans Are 'Counting On Black Folks Staying Home'
Imagine if a white president had made a similar statement.
