Candid Obama Moment Caught on Video
A St. Petersburg reader submitted video she took of President Obama upon meeting a female Air Force veteran.
Patch reader Mary Rachel Dudley offered up this video after Saturday's rally in St. Petersburg with President Barack Obama. The video shows the wild enthusiasm of the crowd (Dudley says "turn down the volume). Look hard for Obama's salute; there is so much sign-waving, it's hard to see him at first.
Thanks, Mary, for the clip. Here is what she has to say:
"I have a great clip of President Obama from the risers behind him as he approached the podium. He turned out towards the crowd and everyone was going wild. Then he turned back towards our group and they were even more wild. There was a woman standing in front of me who was a 28 year Air Force veteran. She was in the Pentagon on 9/11. He turns to her and gives her a big, beautiful smile and salute. I bet he had no idea that she actually was a veteran involved in 9/11."

I was there. i am out of work now. the union offered me cash (tax free) money, among other people, to show up and pretend to offer support. This is a farce. people are blinded to what he represents.

Drudge has retained copies of payment vouchers confirming the truth of these staged events. It's so choreographed it is pathetic. He has ruined our country, Obama has.

We are at the bottom. We can only go up. And Mitt will be the true Christian leader to help us rise to our Destiny. Obama is a failed leader, worse than Carter.

I wish JJ would define "true" Christian since apparently in his mind there are some "untrue" Christians, one of whom is President Carter, (whose good works and dedication to his religion are famous.) I also wish JJ would give us some clues about what he believes our "Destiny" is. On the other hand, maybe not. It is bound to be negative, I assume.

Idiots! Other than Obama not looking like you, what are his failures? Signing a Bill into law giving women right for equal pay? His belief that all Americans have a right to make decisions about their sex life and bodies? His strong effort to preserve social security and medicare. And most of all, his attempt to keep citizenship rights and privileges at the forefront vs. Romney/Ryan enslaving us to big corporations? Civil War History will repeat itself with the republicans at the helm: Poor citizens fighting for the rich to keep slavery, at their own peril. Today, the republicans are asking us to fight for the rich so they pay fewer taxes, reduce wages for employees, to migrant pay, work slave hours and no benefits. Newsflash: For those voting for republicans, you are not considered one of them. Unless you are a millionaire, Romney and Bain Capital are betting on you to lose everything. You are not in their league. Suckers! Real Christians do not hate.

Obama Socialism is everything Americans have fought against since it's inception. Socialism is moral, financial and spiritual bankruptcy, period. It is a lesser form of civilization that has failed worldwide. America is the only free country left so all the bankrupt socialist countries want our money. If Obama is re-elected, he will send us into a tailspin that may even result in world war III, let alone a certain worldwide depression. Obama is a corrupt attorney in it for other socialist liberal defense attorneys and labor unions, including gov labor unions which should be unconstitutional, and all the union worker liberals in Hollywood, the media, the music industry & in the American mfg industry (responsible for chasing all our mfg jobs to China) are the most selfish people on earth who prosper by bringing down American freedom & wealth. Like their motto says "The American people will never accept socialism so we must force it upon them by destroying America first".

Ask some residents their opinions too.The subject isn't brought up(his term as Governor of Massachusetts ) doesn't that strike some as odd? Like to see more of opinion on that topic, as how did he fare with that job?To do good leading all 50 States?

None of our founding fathers practiced the Christianity recognized today. Most of them were either Deists or at the very most Unitarians. In a historical document from the early 1700s known as the ”Treaty of Tripoli” Washington clearly states the principles upon which our country was founded. It says:
"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion;”
This is historical fact people. Look it up. You can dispute it as you wish but it is in our counties annals of record. Period. You live here. It is the letter of the law. We do NOT live in a county founded on the Christian religion.
