So, are the American people actually angry yet?

It's really sad that these people have been forced to move out of their temporary home, but I don't think the ACLU has a case.

If a copy of that letter exists, then there's not much of a case that these people were cleared out in expectation of Obama's visit. Having said that, it probably IS the case. But they won't be able to prove it. Especially if there are meeting minutes or something discussing it previous to this.

At least it made the news and Obama will hopefully be made aware of it. It's important for him to know how many people are living on the streets.

God forbid the President actually see the citizens of his country in less than perfect conditions.
After all it's only middle to high class that count for anything right?
You don't contribute to society, you don't pay taxes..you don't exist.
You are invisible.
What the frig ever.

This administration is trying to flex what little muscle it has left and tent cities and gatherings of angry senior citizens aren't good for the image that he wants to convey.
