Video: UIC protesters: ‘Hey, Obama! How do you fix the deficit? End the wars!’
The crowd inside the UIC Forum, 725 West Roosevelt Road, had nothing but love for President Barack Obama. However, a much smaller group outside Wednesday’s fund-raiser was singing a different tune.
Kept at bay by an impressive show of police force, vocal protesters shouted their demands as Mr. Obama’s motorcade snaked around the Near West Side building.
Straining to be heard, even with use of a bullhorn, a lead demonstrator yelled, “Hey, Obama! How do you fix the deficit? End wars!”
But war was the last thing on the president’s mind.
If the protesters had been waving money in the air instead of picket signs, they would have gotten Obama’s attention.

Mister hope and change sure turned out to be a big phony. People who thought he would be different from the dreadful Bush have been very disappointed and won't bother to be around for him this next time. Just a fast, slick talker is all he's been.
ReplyDeleteMeet the new boss, same as the last.
I'm voting for him agin.
ReplyDeleteanonymous @928, you must be a 1%er. That is who NObama is helping.
ReplyDeleteI was helping at a soup kitchen right after Obama was elected, and all the guys were chanting "We gawt a black president and his name is Obama!" over and over. The TNB exploded exponentially and the nig nogs feel empowered to do whatever they want because he's in office.
ReplyDeleteI no longer help the homeless.
I will vote for ANY white candidate to get that nig out of office.
ReplyDeletethe same thing happened to Ancient egypts 25th dynasty when the slaves took over. Now look at it, a pile of dust and a half human half amimal monument (sphinx) to warn us of the impending doom.
ReplyDeleteMr Hope and change (or michelle) summoned her staff for an Al's beef on taylor street the other day - I saw it with my own eyes.
ReplyDeleteIts cool that he's repping the CHI but I'm not voting for him again no matter what.

ReplyDeleteObama is about as much of a "nig" as Newt Gingrich. The only appeal he has for blacks is curb appeal. Once you get inside that house it is all about the Washington Machine.
Republicans want him out of office because he is not on their team. Ideology is beside the point.
Republicans and Democrats really are not that far apart. They just act like they are.
If Obama was ALL white, nothing would be different except for maybe that whole birther thing.
The bizarre subculture of 24 hour news media constantly plays the 'teams' against each other to fill hours of airtime. And politicians comply with the pundits, wasting time, resources, doing whatever they have to to stay ahead of the daily media opinion.
The country is being run down by sociopaths of all classes and income levels, all races and all ideologies. The only thing they want is to win. They truly believe they deserve it. They care nothing for others, although they strive mightily to have you believe they do. They care nothing for community. They care nothing for country. Their only concern for the future is their own well being.
These occupyfags are enough of a tax on their parents already. Why do they want obammy to raise taxes on their family even further? I guess they are still mad their parents got them a Honda Civic for their 16th birthday, and not a Land Rover...
