Obama's Hawaiian protesters

By GottaLaff

What's to protest? He's not even in office yet. Here comes another pool report:

About a half-dozen demonstrators had assembled near the security checkpoint fronting the entrance to the $9 million rental home where Obama and his family are staying.

Some carried signs urging Obama to address U.S. Foreign policy when he takes office.
Wait, what? They actually feel it necessary to get the next U.S. president to address U.S. foreign policy? Like he wouldn't already include that as a top priority?

Silly me. ::smacks forehead:: I nearly forgot who's been in office these past 8 years.
Ann Wright, a retired Army colonel, wore a T-shirt that read: "We will not be silent" and carried a sign that read: "Change U.S. foreign policy. Yes we can."

Wright, 62, of Honolulu, said the demonstrators represented various groups, including her organization Veterans for Peace.

Other signs read "War Is Terror" and "Free Palestine."
Dems picketing Dems. There's something awfully healthy and free speechy about that. Here's their wish:
"We call on President-elect Obama to place the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at the top of his list of priorities of his new administration."
Why not... Bush placed it at the bottom of his, and look where that got us.
