POTTY-GATE!!! - Obama candidacy Flushed!
I just can't believe that Barack Obama can win after this atrocious error in judgement.

From Portland's Fox News affiliate;

Officers: Memorial Used As Porta-Potty Pit Stop At Obama Rally

POSTED: 7:12 am PDT May 28, 2008
UPDATED: 7:34 am PDT May 28, 2008


PORTLAND, Ore. -- Portland police officers have asked for an apology after they said organizers of a Barack Obama rally set up Porta-Potties on a memorial honoring fallen officers.
<...>
Brennan said officers haven't heard back from the Obama campaign. He said someone owes an apology to the families of the fallen officers.

"Not for a moment do I think that Mr. Obama had anything to do with this," Brennan said. "But somebody at his campaign at a local level made the decision to put them there. And I just want an acknowledgement: 'Hey, we made a mistake.'"

A representative with the Obama campaign did not return phone calls by FOX 12's Tuesday night deadline.

8. So instead of just moving the porta-potties, like a decent public servant, Brennan took photos

15. Frankly, I would rather the porta-potties be there than NOT be there
with a big crowd.

Old enough to have seen plenty of cases where potty happened without benefit of any Facilities. At least with the porta potties, people are pissing into containers.

17. Good point. I doubt if the corpses mind.
You don't have to convince me of the need for porta-potties. Growing up and living in New Orleans I have been to a couple dozen Mardi Gras. Bourbon St. should be called Urine St. x(

9. I think that officer has an agenda
why would a police officer go to this trouble?

After several days, Brennan attached a photo he took to a letter and e-mailed it to dozens of media outlets and the Obama campaign.

on his agenda to get the potties moved.

31. Obama's campaign shouldn't have place them there, but maybe they were in a pinch
Anyway, this is only my number two concern.

the event organizers shouldn't have started their porta-potty training at an earlier age.

Funny though... I still haven't changed my registration. I figure I'll re-register as a Dem or Indy on 1.21.09.

38. Haha
Truce.. You got me, I have been over the top these last few days..
Sorry for being an ass, there I said it (not easy for me).. I give you permission to keep me in line from here on out..
This long campaign and 24/7 of surrogates bashing back and forth has brought out the worst in a lot of us and I am right there with them. Sorry again for any offenses to you.
Feel free to bring on the heat if I go over the top, looking back I deserve it most of the time.
Let's just keep up the good fight to bring down the GOP in Nov..

39. Are you serious?
If you are, then you don't need anyone to keep you in line.

Obama is going to bring a straight ticket bloodbath to Republicans this year, I doubt they'll have enough pull to control the toilet-scrubbing committee.

I look forward to it.

Cheers.
