On Wednesday, August 5th it was announced locally that the President would be coming here. There are many groups here that are against his healthcare and huge spending so those groups began talking and deciding on what they were going to do. The White House would not release ANY details other than the date.
On about Tuesday Bill found out that they would be holding the "Town Hall" at the airport. (This is only because Bill knows EVERYONE at the airport) Our airport is actually located outside of Belgrade (tiny town) in a very remote location. Nothing is around there. They chose to use a hangar that is the most remotely located hangar. You could not pick a more remote location, and you can not get to it easily. It is totally secluded from the public.
FYI: We have many areas in Belgrade and Bozeman which could have held a large amount of folks with sufficient parking. (gymnasiums/auditoriums). All of which have chairs and tables, and would not have to be SHIPPED IN!! $$$$$
During the week, cargo by the TONS was being shipped in constantly. Airport employees could not believe how it just kept coming. Though it was our President coming several expressed how excessive it was, especially during a recession. $$$$$
Late Tuesday/early Wednesday the 12th, they said that tickets would be handed out on Thursday 9am at two locations and the president would be arriving around 12:30 Friday.
Thursday morning about 600 tickets were passed out. However, 1500 were printed at a Local printing shop per White House request. Hmmmm......900 tickets just DISAPPEARED.
This same morning someone called into the radio from the local UPS branch and said that THOUSANDS of Dollars of Lobster were shipped in for Obama. Montana has some of the best beef in the nation!!! And it would have been really wonderful to help out the local economy. Anyone heard of the Recession?? Just think...with all of the traveling the White House is doing. $$$$$ One can only imagine what else we are paying for.
On Friday Bill and I got out to the airport about 10:45am. The groups that wanted to protest Obama's spending and healthcare had gotten a permit to protest and that area was roped off. But that was not to be. A large bus carrying SEIU (Service Employees International Union) members drove up onto the area (illegal)and unloaded right there. It was quite a commotion and there were specifically 2 SEIU men trying to make trouble and start a fight. Police did get involved and arrested the one man but they said they did not have the manpower to remove the SEIU crowd.
The SEIU crowd was very organized and young. About 99% were under the age of 30 and they were not locals! They had bullhorns and PROFESSIONALLY made signs. Some even wore preprinted T-shirts. Oh, and Planned Parenthood folks were with them.....professing abortion rights with their T-shirts and preprinted signs. (BTW, all these folks did have a permit to protest in ANOTHER area)
Those against healthcare/spending moved away from the SEIU crowd to avoid confrontation. They were orderly and respectful. Even though SEIU kept coming over and walking through, continuing to be very intimidating and aggressive at the direction of the one SEIU man.
So we had Montana folks from ALL OVER the state with their homemade signs and their DOGS with homemade signs. We had cowboys, nurses, doctors you name it. There was even a guy from Texas who had been driving through. He found out about the occasion, went to the store, made a sign, and came to protest.
If you are wondering about the press.....Well, all of the major networks were over by that remote hangar I mentioned. They were conveniently parked on the other side of the buildings FAR away. None of these crowds were even visible to them. I have my doubts that they knew anything about the crowds.
We did have some local news media around us from this state and Idaho . Speaking of the local media...they were invited. However, all questions were to be turned into the White House in advance of the event. Wouldn't want anyone to have to think off the top of their head.
It was very obvious that it was meant to be totally controlled by the White House. Everything was orchestrated down to the last detail to make it appear that Montana is just crazy for Obama and government healthcare. Even those people that talked about their insurance woes........the White House called our local HRDC (Human Resource and Development Committee) and asked for names. Then the White House asked those folks to come. Smoke and mirrors...EVERYTHING was staged!!!!!!!!!!!
I am very dismayed about what I learned about our current White House. The amount of control and manipulation was unbelievable. I felt I was not living in the United States of America , more like the USSR !! I was physically nauseous. Bill and I have been around when Presidents or Heads of State visit. It has NEVER been like this. I am truly very frightened for our country. America needs your prayers and your voices. If you care about our country please get involved. Know the issues. And let Congress hear your voices again and again!! If they are willing to put forth so much effort to BULLY a small town one can only imagine what is going on in Washington DC . Scary!!

Pure fiction. Where are the pictures? Where are the news reports? Although I believe this story is complete BS, it is not uncommon for ANY politician to be surrounded by supporters at public appearances. Nit pick all you want Joe, Obama isn't going anywhere.
ReplyDelete8:46AM What flavor is the Kool-Aid you're drinking? Why do you automatically assume that it is "Pure fiction"? Why do you automatically discount that there could be truth to this? You're as close-minded as the people you're arguing against. The truth always lies somewhere in between. But you need to think for yourself and not automatically discount or accept everything said.
ReplyDeleteThe fascists are out in force these days to try to help ram this coup through.
ReplyDeleteYou will see tons of comments like the one from 8:46 trying to discredit the patriots (their only possible hope, since their agenda is now clear).
The union goons are being sent to most of the gatherings with the intent of provoking fights and escalating the problems to the point where they can call it a riot and take drastic action against the demonstrators in the name of "keeping order".
Those of us who have been around for a while have already seen this done many times by communist governments.
But, of course, we're not nearly as as smart as the elitists, so I guess we should just realize that and let them take over and run our lives for us, since we're too stupid to do it ourselves.
We're just so lucky that they're so willing to help us.
American patriots, do more than pray. The effort to turn the U.S. into a socialist nation isn't limited to Obama and his Administration, it is goal of the United Nations. Obama is nothing but a pathetic follower in this international endeavor. Listen very carefully to the video from the link below. The man speaking is a former Catholic Priest who was defrocked by the Vatican for his support of Liberation Theology (sound familiar? Reverent Wright?). HE IS ALSO THE PRESIDENT OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE UNITED NATIONS. So now you know the United Nations, under its current leadership, is calling for the end of Capitalism, our economic system, the one that has made the U.S.A. the leader and envy of the world. Unfortunately, that envy has finally grown out of control. Start preparing, Patriots!

ReplyDeleteThat isn't news. For the most part those are out-of-touch blog posts.
This current administration is the most transparent and forward-thinking of any that came before it, while the amount of misinformation surges do to the irresponsibility and abuse of social media by the right wing. Maybe the Obama bashers wouldn't have to bash if they had stopped hiding behind their keyboards and went out to vote last November. Wasn't exactly a close race was it?

ReplyDeleteWhat are you smoking. Obama has the most corrupt administration probably in the history of this nation. He has tax cheats,and admitted socialists as part of his administration one of whom is named Van Jones. This man (Obama is corrupt to the core and I just hope this once proud nation can survive 3 yrs and 5 months more with this clown as president.

ReplyDeleteI guess you didn't even go to the website. There are stories there from the belgrade new which looks to be there local newspaper. Yes the original link is of a blog but the blog has the links to different stories from the newspaper. Im not hiding behind my keyboard, I have voted in each and EVERY election since 1984. Now rather than bash someone go to the website and read what their local newspaper had to say about it. HEY how about this google it and there are pictures out there also. I refuse to post them for you. You seem to want to bash but dont want to search for the truth. PATHETIC!

ReplyDeleteMore liberal kool aide drinkers.
It's pretty funny, these Robots want to argue about what color the sky is on a clear day with no clouds.
we need the middle of the road undecided voters make a stand, well, actually, I think they are.
It's why Obama's numbers are going down like a local mayor at rehoboth
I just happened across your post and i cant agree more. It is terrifying the things that are happening in our country. No one wants to believe that any of these things could actually happen here so they look the other way and call you crazy. Seriously grave times we are living in. I hope that American will wake up and realize what's going on before its too late and nothing can be done.
ReplyDeleteKeep standing!
