You see, the bus tour is working! People are really getting to know Obama. Like I always say, better late than never. Support from black people is still pretty disappointing at around 85%, yet they're also unhappy because Obama hasn't done enough for them even though he's responsible for their high unemployment via bills that he's passed...... Something's wrong with this picture..... I can understand their frustration. Unless your a high power socialist mucky muck, he won't talk to you. When is the last time he went to a predominately Black neighborhood and actually talked to...........or better yet listened to those constituents who live there?

Speaking of bus tour..... First the Beast, now the Bus – Barack Obama debuts road-trip bus Telegraph [UK], by Staff Original Article Posted By: GaGardener, 8/16/2011 6:25:54 AM President Barack Obama's limo is known as "The Beast" but his new bus is even more of a monster. The US leader swept onto the campaign trail Monday with a sleek and even sinister looking set of wheels with blacked out windows worth $1.1 million (£675,000). The shiny, black armoured bus, bristling with secret communications technology, with flashing police-style red and blue lights on the front and the back, made its debut on Mr Obama's three-day tour of Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois. Comments: Scary looking it is. Actually, it could make a good visual for Republicans to use in campaign ads--this huge sinister-looking monster, looming over the land, "bristling with secret communications technology"--a metaphor for the Dems. As others have said, it looks like Darth Vader transformed into a bus.

What the heck is the symbolism of the bus vs. a regular way of traveling? Obama said yesterday that he doesn't mind the term "obamacare" because it says Obama cares.Yeah he cares about buying more votes with government handouts. http://www.lucianne.com/thread/?artnum=633308
