Banana Republic

Yesterday we had brief catch-up discussions with two different Columbus couples who had recently returned from Washington DC. They'd done some interesting tourist things, but the only location both saw was Arlington Cemetery. And this wasn't their first visit. Both commented on the trash and clutter--one said the area they were in still hadn't had the trash picked up from July 4 celebrations, and public restrooms were the worst they'd seen. But Obama posters were everywhere. Benevolent. Ubiquitous. Omnipresent.

Murray sez:
Maybe the trash at Arlington symbolizes what Obamamaia is doing to this great country of ours! Therefore it's only right that his posters are all over the place.

More than likely a budget cut. let's blame this on Obama too! Good

Sorry. I didn't mean to say there was trash in Arlington--as far as I know that was fine. The problem was the other tourist sites. Clean up after the 4th should have been part of the budget. The point was, the photos of him everywhere juxtaposed against trash is not a good message. Clean up both and let the city breathe. He can stop campaigning now.

He'll never stop campaigning. I'm not even sure he realizes he won.
