I live in Americus (just 10 miles form Plains, GA) and I can't tell you how many people around here absolutely hate his guts. The teabaggers have many supporters here in this backwash part of our country. I've lived here on and off for forty years and I can honestly say that since the election on President Obama, I have never felt more uncomfortable in my on hometown. My Obama 2012 re-election sticker should be here soon and I can't wait to
put on the rear bumper of my civic hybrid and really tick some people off.
