Law enforcement slap in the face.

Just an addition as to why I don't care for this man. This was sent to me by a police officer in another state... respect? There isn't any.

I don’t like this naïve little anti-military, anti-law enforcement, elitist twit and his America-hating wife anyway, but now he’s made me mad!
 
Obama Uses Police Memorial for Porta Potties

PORTLAND, OR – Police officers in Portland, Oregon, are still waiting for an apology from Barack Obama after campaign staffers of his recent rally in Portland, Oregon, setup porta potties directly on top of the Portland Police Memorial, which honors the agency’s 25 fallen police officers.

The Obama rally drew a crowd of over 75,000 people.

Officer Thomas Brennan, who was working overtime at the rally, took a picture of the offending toilets, with the American flag still at half mast because of Police Officers Memorial Day, directly behind them. The local law enforcement memorial service had been held at the site only five days earlier.

Despite a large amount of open areas in the vicinity, the campaign staffers claimed the toilets were placed on the memorial for safety reasons to accommodate wheelchair access.

The Obama campaign has not responded to requests for an apology.

"Hello Dollies"

Combine 1 stick melted butter and 2 cups graham cracker crumbs. Press in greased 9x13 pan. On top, layer 1 package chocolate chips, 1 package peanut butter chips, 1 12oz can lightly salted peanuts. Top with 1 small can sweetened condensed milk (I use fat free big deal!). Bake at 350 for 25 minutes (the edges should be bubbly). I recommend not cutting them until the next day because it seems to take that long for the graham cracker bottom to really harden.

Wait a minute. You said this is why I don't like this man and then posted a bit about him being a naïve little anti-military, anti-law enforcement, elitist twit and his America-hating wife. You sure gave people plenty to get emotional about...


And we responded with, it shouldn't have happened but don't dislike THE MAN for it. Blame the idiots who organized the event. I wish someone had noticed before the whole rally took place.


I guess I was unaware your husband is in law enforcement. I understand why this upsets you and I'm sorry.

Hi Starset - those were not her words - her original post is in pink. What you are referencing above is what was forwarded to her by a police officer in another state.

I am aware of which part is the email only. However, it was not omitted from her cut and paste job in order to post the email here. It is part of her post.

Still, they aren't her words. They are the words of someone who personally felt disprespected by the Obama camp. While I don't agree with what he said - I believe he has the right to feel the way he feels and SDL has a right to post it. I think we all know SDL well enough to know that such colorful language isn't her style.

I think SDL is very nice and I certainly knew those weren't her words. However, they were posted here so I responded to it. Just as SDL and the officer had a right to feel the way they did, so too do the rest of us. It's a two way street. For the record, had it been an MLK memorial and the people that made the mistake apologized, I personally would not have been offended. But that's just me. Also for the record, just because I disagree with folks on politics doesn't mean I don't like the person anymore. So I hope no one is taking these discussions (heated or not) *that* seriously. In the end, everyone has awesome jewels
