To think you can be near that spot and think of the history and our greatest president(IMHO). Sends shivers down your spine.


Lots of angry, white guys hated that president too. What a shame they didn't have an internet forum to vent on.

Before the internet, they used flyers. Like this one from Dallas, November 22, 1963.

True, but ol Abe was just as racist as the next guy back then only he didn't think slavery was right(along with many others). Most people think he was this great civil rights guy, not hardly. then again there were very very few people back then that thought blacks were anything close to being equal to whites.

Abe Lincoln and George Washington were certainly great Presidents who did not finish college.......I hope we have another one to add to that list in 2016.

Here we go again with the funny pictures and jokes. Bush hasn't had a drink in 28 years.

Nowadays there's this:

Given the ill will being expressed within this thread, . . . DonDiego can hardly imagine what would've transpired had he said anything negative about President Obama.

Which reminds me of my two favorite things about DonDiego. His face.

With Isis rampaging thru the Middle East Obama spent his weekend playing golf.

Interesting that the only American who gets a "day" is king, not even the person who founded the country or the person who kept it from collapsing or the person who guide us thru the most destructive war in the world.

Doesn't seem right

Lots of angry, white guys in the South agree with you Hoops - which is why several southern states combine MLK Day with a secessionist, Confederate General's birthday. So dont be angry. Just grab a Confederate flag and celebrate your day off.

PJ, do you somehow believe your comments even remotely address Hoops issues with Presidents Day? He's talking apples and your talking...............dog shit.
