Dead bear covered with Obama signs found at school Mon Oct 20, 10:03 pm ET CULLOWHEE, N.C. – Police at Western Carolina University and wildlife officials were investigating the discovery early Monday of a dead bear cub draped with a pair of Barack Obama campaign signs. Leila Tvedt, associate vice chancellor for public relations, said Monday night that maintenance workers found the 75-pound bear cub shot to death in front of the school's administration building at the entrance to campus. The Obama yard signs were stapled together and placed over the bear's head, Tvedt said. The bear had been shot in the head, Tvedt said. "Western Carolina University deplores the inappropriate behavior that has led to this troubling incident," Tvedt said. "We cannot speculate on the motives of the people involved nor who those people might be. Campus police are cooperating fully with authorities to investigate this matter." University police called in state Wildlife Resources officials to remove the body and help in the investigation. Bear season is under way in western North Carolina.

>>> With the crushing debt BUSH has left us, neither of these guys will be able to do most of the things they have said they want to do. It will take a generation to recover from the catastrophe the republicans and bush have created. The increase in debt during the Bush/Clinton years is NOTHING compared to the unfunded liabilities from Medicare & SS which resulted the kinds of massive social programs an unconstrained Obama will add. These programs start out small and grow without bound, and cannot be touched politically so they just continue to get bigger into perpetuity until the country is broke. You're worrying about the rainstorm when you're facing a hurricane. You clearly don't understand what you're dealing with.
