73. Check out the actual photographs of the President's visit to Decatur

http://www.11alive.com/news/photo-gallery.aspx?storyid=277644

The "big" crowd photos are near the Rec Ctr. "downtown", ( in connection with Decatur, we must use big and downtown advisedly) and you see some mostly college age environmental protesters mixed in with the rest of the crowd. I promise you they all voted for Obama, every one of them, whether they are holding up signs in support of green jobs and against the Keystone pipeline or not, or whether they are old white guys dressed in suits or not.

The last batch of people seen outside are in the very crunchy-granola multi ethnic neighborhood of Oakhurst where the preschool is. All shiny happy smiling faces. Oakhurst is so with-it, it has its own wikipedia page.

Oakhurst is an eclectic, liberal-minded community, typical of intown Atlanta. It has a diverse mix of African Americans, white residents, senior citizens, singles, young couples, young families, empty nesters, and a large gay community. According to the 2000 Census, slightly fewer than 5,000 people lived in Oakhurst.
TV crews were in both the Rec Ctr and preschool locations as you can see from the still photos - taken by tv crews. If there was any stink, they'd be on it. The young people in the crowds all have camera phones and they'd have been on it too.

This is very liberal country, Nolabear. Decatur is a small town sandwiched between two universities, swallowed up inside Atlanta. John Lewis is our Congressman. I repeat: John Lewis. If he even had a Republican opponent in the last election, nobody caught his name.

I wasn't there so I can't promise you it didn't happen, but unless you see a picture or video of the alleged incident, you really should not believe it happened and get upset over it. It's just some BS posted by a 4 post troll (literally) at Daily Kos and just not worth it.

If you browse the actual photographs in the gallery and look well, I'm sure you'll feel much better. Especially about the future.
