The front page of the NYT just perfectly sums up what a dirtbag Sharpton is

Peaking over Obama's shoulder making sure he gets in the photo op, what a dirtbag, he was furious that the "old bag" in the wheelchair stole his thunder, he has his hand on the back of her wheelchair making sure he steers her in the other direction. The people the New York Times also made sure to crop out George and Laura Bush, who were just to the right of the lady in blue.

Also for anyone who wants proof that modern liberals hate america, note the difference between the two photos below, not a single american flag.

Why is it so easy to get thousands of blacks to rally or riot, but none of them can show up for a 9-to-5 job Monday through Friday????

Progressives now consider the American flag divisive and offensive to immigrants.

Apparently, signing up for welfare and other benefits the minute you cross the Rio Grande is not offensive however.

That photo looks Photoshopped to me, foreground to background looks off?

One of the photos IS Photoshopped.

One of the photos IS Photoshopped.

Not the comparison photo, the original. The background seems too out of focus, like it was added? The first two-three rows of people are in focus then there's like a gap and everything is far back in the distance and fuzzy

There was a gap between the unwashed masses and Obama and the VIPs (sounds like a musical group). I believe it was for security reasons. You can see the pronounced gap better here:

I'm surprised Obama didn't think to walk on the divider. That's something his "humility" should have suggested.

Probably because everything in the South is so messed up.

Georgia Trash Collector Jailed For 30 Days For Showing Up To Work Early


A Georgia trash collector will spend 30 days in jail because he showed up to work two hours before he was supposed to.

Kevin McGill, who works for the private company Waste Management Inc., showed up a few minutes after 5 a.m. one morning to pick up trash in Sandy Springs, WABC reports.

A city ordinance requires that trash only be picked up between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Because of his misdeed, McGill was sentenced to 30 days in jail, the maximum sentence he could have received. His crime of picking up trash too early was the only infraction considered by the judge who sentenced him.

He now plans to spend every weekend over the next three months in jail, so he can work during the week.

"I was stunned," McGill said, according to WABC. "I didn’t know what to think."

VICE spoke to Sandy Springs prosecutor Bill Riley who said jail time is necessary to make sure trash collectors don't start collecting garbage in the early morning hours.

"We look for the minimum punishment what will deter the crime," Riley said. "We tried forever not to put anyone in jail for these cases, but it wasn't working."

Sandy Springs spokesperson Sharon Kraun didn't immediately return a request for comment from The Huffington Post, but she told VICE, "Our residents, they like their quality of life. And that means not waking up at 5:00 AM to hear the trash can."

VICE also points to a 2012 New York Times story about Sandy Springs farming out nearly all of its services to private companies.

From the Times:

To grasp how unusual this is, consider what Sandy Springs does not have. It does not have a fleet of vehicles for road repair, or a yard where the fleet is parked. It does not have long-term debt. It has no pension obligations. It does not have a city hall, for that matter, if your idea of a city hall is a building owned by the city. Sandy Springs rents.
