Pandering to the Latino voters again. If he really wanted to make it a bang up day, he would have jumped up to the Tehachapi/Mojave Wind Farms where he could have pandered to another one of his special groups, the green brigade. Imagine his photo ops. I guess his campaign advisors didn't take the time to check out the area because a 15 min speech at the Wind Farms would have really left his followers beside themselves. But of course it would have cut into his time of campaigning for more money from those nasty so called 1%'ers his sheeple hate so much, but he embraces every single day.

What a waste of tax payers money. Really, he did not have anything better to do. I hope to see a new family in the White house. One with honesty and integrity. Wait, that will never happen. They are all corrupt to the bone. No matter who sits in the big chair they have a large job ahead of them. I know for me, the current family most leave and never come back.

(Definition of “Insanity”: Doing the same thing and each time expecting DIFFERENT RESULTS). The President has come and gone amidst cheering and descending crowds. High gasoline prices are still with us. Our educational system is collapsing. The lower socio-economic class are still demanding MORE ENTITLEMENT BENEFITS. Meanwhile, “Juanito” and “Tomatillo” are dancing in the streets because the President came to town to honor Cesar Chavez. I am hoping that there are enough of us that can SEE beyond the smoke and mirrors. We NEED ANOTHER President! We know what is ahead of us if we give Obama another 4-years. INSANITY!! Same-o Same-o!!

What an exciting day for so many in this honoring of Cesar Chavez. While I think it was potlitically motivated to do it now rather than last year, nonetheless it was still exciting for those who attended. I remember as a teen expressing my opinions to a friend whose dad owned farm lands and how those lands should have toilets and better conditions for workers, and how that friend soon was told by her parents not to hang out with me. Chavez rallied and helped union workers, and essentially wanted illegals not to help farmers with their cheap labor. From what I understand he even helped to have illegals deported. Present day has our current president honoring Chavez and that's fine by me. And, it's exciting for those in attendance, especially students to see a president. I will not be voting for Obama because his policies do not resonate with me. That he was in Central CA today, amidst throngs of those cheering him on, though, is understandably okay by me. I do hope all voters look at all the issues before deciding on who they want to place their vote for in November. It's not about color of the skin but character of the individual.

Regardless of who has more class, Obama has done nothing but bring this once great country down. We are almost like Mexico, thanks to him.

The Mexican crowds cheered and celebrated the president coming to honor Cesar Chavez. White people stood on the side of the roads holding signs saying the President of the United States was hazardous waste. Tell me, who has more class?
