I think President Obama will deal with the Protesters...

I'm 65. I was 18 in 1968 and was strongly against the Viet Nam war. I strongly disagreed with the Iraq war... so much so that I printed photos, political cartoons and other printable materials, laminated them and stapled them onto my picket fence in my front yard.

I'M talking more than 100....

Not once, not twice but 3 times I came home from work to find the laminated materials pulled down and placed into my mail box. After the 3rd time, I built a large billboard to staple the materials to and moved behind the fence into my front yard.

So I can appreciate the passion of these people. And I probably could not have been persuaded otherwise... 3 times I stapled them back.... so I hope President Obama will smooth over......

And by the way, I live in the South.... guess I was lucky I wasn't burned out...
