‘Obamaville’ Sign Posted Near Homeless Camp

A bitter tribute to failed leaders…

Someone has put a lot of thought intoa welcome sign that may surprise you, it’s in front of a homeless campoff I-25 in Colorado Springs.

Its message, “Welcome to Obamaville, Colorado’s fastest growingcommunity.” Despite repeated calls no one could answer the question,who put up the sign? 

To some homeless the sign’s message says enough. Mark Limonez, ahomeless man living in “tent city”, says the sign doesn’t make him feelgood about trying to get back on his feet. “Guys are trying to work butthere’s not enough work out there, so they go pan handling or flag asign” Limonez says, “I’ve never seen so many camps since I’ve been outin the streets – there’s no money.”*

There are no logos on the front of the sign and no clues to where it comes from.

*Shouldn’t the white taxpayers of America who are now involuntary investors, bedemanding not only that senior Wall Street big shots voluntarily give up their purloined wealth but shouldn’t also the people who perpetrated thiseconomic nightmare – that has caused “main street” America to lose theirjobs, their 401Ks to fall, the values of their houses to plummet andthe very fabric of this nation to unravel – be hunted down andprosecuted?

As unemployment rises and people lose their homes in a worseningeconomy – there are now definitive reports of tent cities (Bushvilles/Obamavilles) popping upacross America. The worst is happening now.

The Wall Street/federal cabal bigwigs should not only give up their windfall/paycheckswillingly with apologies to the American public – or perhaps theyshould personally deliver their undeserved ill gotten money to the new Bushvilles/Obamavilles of today where up to a thousand people or more now have to live? The homeless are spilling out to these tent cities becausethe housing shelters are full. Some shelters are turning away dozens if not hundreds of women and children a day. — Email
