someone been out to see him? why is he bothering us here? he's trying to fake us out into thinking he cares about Business Freedoms but we know hed really rather take it over. Is a Freedom supporting group going to see him out there?

nope, we are all too unemployed to afford the gas to get there

but CHANGE is coming

you can believe in it

6/13/2011 12:02:27 PM

It's a conspiracy to make you late back from your lunch break by disrupting traffic.

6/13/2011 12:02:56 PM

I guess NC State is too full of HOPE AND CHANGE kool aid drinking fools

For real dough, are any roads closed off? I'm about to leave the house and I don't want to get my ass detoured.

6/13/2011 12:13:27 PM

He's going to Durham, so I'd imagine that most places in Raleigh are quite unobstructed. He's going to an LED light bulb maker. I wonder how long it will be before the right is whining and bitching about how us tree-huggers are trying to now take away their CFLs in favor of $Texas light bulbs (completely failing to mention that LEDs will last for many many years). Oh well.

Ahh crap.

Give it two weeks. NC State is going to lose its job.

^LOL

My office is near the airport. I definitely heard and then saw Air Force One coming down to land. Impressive.

Also, fuck a $50 LED lightbulb. Gimme my 20 cent incandescent

6/13/2011 3:08:09 PM

he name dropped NC State before any other school when referring to Cree founders..

None of you wingnuts have bitched about I-40 and various other roads being shut down in both directions before the President took off? Wow, you're losing your touch.

6/13/2011 3:55:22 PM

But they'll tell you that they have the right and freedom to be as inefficient with their energy consumption as they wish. What they fail to either realize or acknowledge is that their wastefulness by way of apathy or sloth actually drives up the cost of energy for the rest of us.

6/13/2011 3:55:40 PM

So it has to do with his banning the good ol lightbulb and making people use the pig tail looking things. Why? Control.

6/13/2011 4:05:09 PM

I LIKE MAH LIGHTBULBS ROUND AND MAH GASOLINE FULL OF LEAD

I wonder why ^ didn't ask supplanter.

He posted a picture from 3 years ago prior to me posting anything.

God the trolling is bad in TSB.

6/13/2011 4:24:27 PM

maybe because people were discussing him name dropping NC State in his speech today?

6/13/2011 4:54:02 PM

^ Don't tell Obama that, he'll ban CFLs too.

6/13/2011 5:20:38 PM

6/13/2011 5:33:02 PM

when the hotels start getting LEDs that I can take, I'ill get rid of my CFLs

6/14/2011 4:12:45 AM

^^So what, those incandescent Hg emissions aren't in my house when I break a CFL. Or when a CFL decides to explode either.

Am I going to have to draw a picture for you Soap Box fucks?

People were wondering how Obama would impact traffic, I was pointing out it is not in Durham...as in, the fucking city. Saying it is very close to RTP gives the ignorant reader (you people) an idea where it is close to.

Damn Soap Box trolls.

Durham the city =/ Durham the county

6/14/2011 11:04:35 AM

Would be funny if Bev wins reelection because Obama wins NC again.....I think that is really the only chance she has...voting straight party ticket.....probably why she won to begin with.

6/14/2011 4:52:16 PM

No way Bev is re-elected.

6/15/2011 11:18:43 AM

Yeah, Bev is on her way out. She rode the Obama wave into office, and that wave is going to be significantly weaker this time around.

have you seen what the other side has been able to put together thus far?

6/15/2011 2:46:25 PM

i wanted to see what sort of anti obama groups are going to be doing things this upcoming year. looking for someone to work with.
