Obama Visits Georgia, General Public Not Invited

The TOTUS is visiting Georgia today, Savannah specifically, to come talk about jobs and the economy. Right now the Georgia unemployment rate is above the national average and we are deluged with the daily numbers of layoffs and foreclosures. We are in the top 10 there also, but strangely just in the Democrat areas, and in an effort to keep it real the general public is not allowed to visit Barry O.

Go figure.

Savannah is preparing to welcome President Barack Obama Tuesday.

But he won't be meeting with the general public

The President is scheduled to speak at Savannah Technical College.

He's expected to highlight programs to boost the economy and create jobs.

But the event is invitation-only and it's very unclear who's being invited.

No doubt he will also come with a check in hand, just like Joe Biden did when he decided to visit one of the most connected communities in the state, where the average resident earns well above the state average, and handed out a check touting a program to increase broadband access. He visited Dawsonville, which is home to NASCAR legend Bill Elliott, and while they may be a bunch of gearheads, the Elliott family has created more jobs in this northern Georgia city and area than Barry O and all of his Democrat allies could ever dream of.

While Barry is here he will visit a technical college and the venue holds about 250 people, which is by invite only.

Recently, the Obama spoke of increasing funding for nuclear power plants, and there is one in the area, and as a result we have been bombarded with commercials from environmental groups warning us that we are going to wind up glowing in the dark and how the apocalypse is just around the corner. Some of those folks are upset that they won't be able to get into the meeting.

Oh and that school he is visiting. It is being tossed around in discussions regarding budget cuts in the University System of Georgia for closure. You see states have to live on a budget unlike the federal government.

Pity Poor PETA

Poor, poor PETA. They decided to carry their scare tactic, childhood nightmare inducing show to an elementary school in Savannah, GA in advance of the Ringling Bros Circus which is coming to town later in the month. Their purpose was to raise awareness of animal cruelty supposedly perpetrated by handlers on circus animals.

One word comes to mind. FAIL!

"I want to go to the circus! I want to go to the circus," Torrie Harris said excitedly as she got her hug and circus animal cruelty book from the PETA protesters.

Her mother, LaWanda Sanders, wasn't particularly moved by the "Animals Belong in the Jungle" activity book her daughter received. Sanders said she already has plans to take her children to the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus when it comes to town later this month.

I am really disgusted with these PETA activists who more and more are targeting children, mostly of an elementary school age, with their often gruesome propaganda. Their arguments fall on the deaf ears of anybody who still has at least two working brain cells.

Kudos to the school also for doing their part in protecting the children under their charge.

But an end-of-the-day announcement over the school's loudspeaker warning children not to speak to strangers - even those in costume - foiled the animal rights group's plans to reach hundreds of impressionable minds.

PETA, leave the kids alone!

I bet this story would be much different in New Orleans

By now everybody is aware of the severe weather we have been having across the south this weekend, but most of the coverage has been limited to Atlanta, but they are not the only ones who have been hard hit. Savannah is a nice town on the east coast of Georgia and widely renowned for it's St Patrick's Day celebration. The storms we experienced in the Atlanta area didn't just die out, they continued their eastward trek and eventually hit Savannah hitting the main power station and destroying the transmission lines and plunged the city into darkness. This is a double blow since this time of the year is also one of the most profitable for the city because of the visitors who come down to celebrate St Patrick's Day in this quaint southern city with it's stately southern mansion and moss lined trees decorating the downtown area. So the lights go out, cops are preoccupied and rampant looting breaks out. Right?? Uh not exactly.

A few nightspots kept pouring drinks, with bartenders tallying customer's bar tabs with flashlights, as patrons huddled around tables lit by candles. Smith managed to buy a cold beer for $2.50 at one darkened watering hole.

Police closed the riverfront bars by 11:30 p.m. and the lingering street party began dispersing an hour later as it began to rain. Savannah Fire Capt. Matthew Stanley said a couple of street robberies were reported downtown, but no major incidents.

Is there any doubt that if this story is repeated in New Orleans the story would be much different. Heck they have worse crime now and they are supposedly a functioning city.
On the other hand enough is enough. Messing with St Paddy's Day party is going too far.
