A visit to one of those "tent cities"?
Just wondering. Do you think it would be appropriate for Obama and/or Biden to visit one of those designated places for the homeless that are popping up in a growing number of American cities? I'm thinking it might be a good move, within the context of listening and committing themselves to making such abominations unnecessary. Your thoughts?

4. I think it might be a good way to raise awareness.

So many people seem to live in a bubble... they think assistance programs help people in need and anyone who's homeless chooses to live on the street. They simply don't get it. 20 years later, and idiots are still clinging to reagan's sickening feel-good lies.

5. Both Obama and Biden need to be getting more ...
Media moments!

Sarah Palin has been stealing the show for the last 3 days with her stupid race-baiting comments and her dumb audience's "kill him" reacton.

We need some POSITIVE events for Obama and Biden to rise above this trash.
