Obama came to the Valley of the Sun on Wednesday to pitch his $50 $75 B bailout for homebuyers who couldn’t afford the homes they bought when they bought them. Greeting him on arrival were about 500 ordinary folks wanting to express their thoughts about the Generational Theft Act of 2009 Obama signed into law on Tuesday.

The “Mock” Demonstration, brainchild of
KFYI’s Bruce Jacobs, brought people from all across the Phoenix metro area with signs to ask for their piece of the Porkulus Pie. With sign in hand, I went over to Mesa’s Dobson High School to show Dear Leader some love.
The crowd continued to grow while awaiting Obama's standard fashionably late arrival.

This fellow may have Vice Presidential aspirations.
Finally, my personal favorite by a young lady hoping for the Education Bailout.
All in all, it was a morning well spent. I can't wait to get my yacht.
