| Joe Biden and his crew running at the Pittsburgh St. Patrick's Day parade |
Team Obama had designed to piggy back on the popularity of the huge St. Patrick's Day parade in Pittsburgh and turn it into a campaign photo op for their political purposes. Obama supporters had even spread through the thousands of onlookers along the parade route handing out "I heart O'Bama" signs, so they would be displayed prominently on national news. They dusted off and quaffed Vice President Joe Biden, to headline the parade. Biden, in the eyes of Obama campaign strategists, was the perfect choice to represent the Obama administration in this all important state. Joe is a native Pennsylvanian and has always represented himself as a regular working class guy.
But something went horribly wrong for Biden as he wended his way through the streets of Pittsburgh. The generally jubilant, cheering crowd celebrating the St. Patrick's Day parade, suddenly turned to boos, when the Vice President turned down Stanwix Street. Cheers faded into jeers as the crowd laid eyes on the 6 term Senator turned Vice President.
It seemed there was a pent up demand from the crowd to be able to show in person to the Obama administration, just how displeased they were with the Obama policies.
Any positive political cache Obama strategists thought they were going to get from this parade,evaporated as Biden passed by the hostile crowd. But being the trained political veteran that he was, Biden continued to smile as he passed between the gauntlet of unhappy constituents.

There were some positive photo ops of Biden passing through supporters that day, with the "I heart O'Bama" signs in the background, but what is making national news and filling the airwaves are the sensationalized videos and photos depicting the unhappy crowd.
Perhaps the Obama campaign strategists, should have taken into consideration the large segment of Irish Catholic citizens who feel offended and betrayed by the Obama administrations decision to force Catholic institutions to pay for abortion procedures and contraceptives.
On the other hand, the crowd might still be smarting by some of Joe Bidens famous "gaffes" directed at them. Like when he called certain American citizens "terrorists" for not supporting Obamas economy breaking budget requests. Or when he promised America the almost 1 trillion Obama stimulus was going to create 500K new jobs per month, or telling American citizen rapes and murders would increase if Republicans didn't pass Obamas "jobs" bill....Are citizens starting to catch on?
American citizens don't feel the "love" from this administration when they go to the service station and fill their cars up with fuel that has doubled in price since Obama/Biden took office. Contrary to the Administrations claim that unemployment has dropped to almost 8.3%, this doesn't account for the millions of Americans who were dropped off the unemployment rolls as their benefits ended.
Recent pols show 67% of Americans are not in favor of the administrations health care bill that was pushed through in a non partisan manner and they want it repealed, if the Supreme Court doesn't do it first.
With these raw feelings of anger and disappointment gnawing at them, many Americans feel they rarely get a chance to be heard by this administration, so when the opportunity arises.....they don't hesitate to use it.

Yes the matter of honor of those actually buying these govt subsidized cars, are those whose medium income is 187K per year. Hardly the common American citizen. "Aversion to change"? Really? Are you one of those paying for the change? 100 billion taxpayers $ spent on worthless green energy companies in US in last 3 years..What do we have to show for it? 100 billion in more debt to China.

Who bought them? It's a matter of honor in some sets. Reminds me of what FDR said about aversion to change: "A Conservative Is A Man With Two Perfectly Good Legs Who's Never Learned To Step Forward." Left up to some people, the world would be watching telly by candlelight.

I think the booing from the crowd is a reaction in general from most thinking americans, We're tired of getting pizzed on by serial liars obama/biden and them telling us it's rain. How many of those GM (govt money) green cars are the rest of you buying? Including those 100K Teslas?

Frosty/Dude: When Democrats retain the White House with its beautiful rainbow president, perhaps even sweep Congress, the ultraconservative ragsheets will shout that we brought in alien imposters to swell our voting ranks. There are pitiful people in this world who will buy that, too. No, I don't imagine Joe Biden was surprised or intimidated in the least. He's a wonderful, caring man with a soft spot in his heart even for enemies.

How does such drivel make it into a newspaper (or even a blog)? Someone booed at a parade? Hold the front page!

TheOldPerfessor: My favorite picture of candidate Barack Obama back in 2008 shows him at a podium, intent on some speech. His detractors know - everyone knows! - that he's always going to be the smartest person in the room. That's one reason they hate him in addition to skin color, philosophy, well everything about him. They're frightened, jealous, cowardly bigots who look at him and know beyond all doubt what dinosaurs they really are. Their evolutionary death knells can be heard worldwide. I for one prefer smart people.

TheOldPerfessor, ByTheBay, and especially Eiriamach: It's good to see you keeping the truth alive. I've had some recent trouble getting certain innocuous posts to stick, so I've decided to open my Facebook page to allow anyone to read. Normally I only use FB as an automatic log-in for other sites like this one. It will be tomorrow probably before I get around to enacting the new plan, so don't anyone visit there before then. I don't plan to open it for comments because that would only make one more stop for me when I work. But when something won't stick here, I can just tell the person "FB" and they can go read it there within the half hour. Sparklet must think I skipped out on finishing my lengthy reply to her from another thread.

Well Monsoonman, I've tried your suggestion, to no avail. The cardinal's blog simply removes my "comments." Your 9:03 posting showed up on my screen only after to wrote my 9:50. Really, I should congratulate you on sticking with alleged "facts" and not trying to convince us that the bishops would never tell a lie. . . . The USCCB, I have concluded, are ineducable. Their writing about Sr. Johnson's book "Quest for the Living God" makes the paucity of even their theological training eminently clear. I expect that Cardinal Dolon and his confreres wouldn't know the difference between a zygote and an Poc ar Buille, so no point talking with them about the HHS mandate. I feel sorry for Catholics represented by so under-educated a group as the USCCB.
