Rent is too damned high! Jimmy McMillan puts in Presidential Bid
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/23/jimmy-mcmillan-rent-damn-high-president_n_800898.html

After being catapulted to fame following a quirky yet impressive performance in the New York gubernatorial debates this fall, McMillan attained rockstar status, winning more than 40,000 votes in this year's New York governor's race. Now he says he's ready to take on President Barack Obama in the quest for higher office.


Well, at least the Bread and Puppet Circus is starting well ahead of time.

1. Housing prices are indeed too high and anyone who wishes to just laugh this guy off
is laughing off the issue of affordable housing.

2. Yes, but endorsing of non-democratic candidates is against DU rules
However, some of the planks in his platform are quite progressive.

4. Alabama didn't endorse him
So I'm not seeing a problem. I won't endorse him either but... the rent IS too damned high!
