Words and recording some of his speeches where he promised something and made himself out as a great one, but youtubes of the Americans who have lost jobs and homes because of his policies would have had a better effect.
But since the left wing media did portray him as a demigod who could do nothing wrong, I guess he got what he deserved, but I expect better from a conservative newspaper.

That is the whole trouble. Bush had his faults, but he never thought that he was a demigod and people thought it all right to smear him. Yet Obama is superhuman, he can do no wrong, so we are not allowed to insult or say bad things about him even when they are true. And do not ezcuse the sarcasm.

It is unfortunate that the picture of the president of a powerful nation be smeared in such an embarrassing way. The media doesn't seem to respect an important public figure. Even if some doesn't agree with his policies but I feel it is not the way to treat him as he is voted to office by the citizens and should therefore deserve some respect.

yup some voted him in and he really paid his way in and took money from forign countires for his campaigne thats a real no no .
Cant think of what people were thinking att he time of the elections and still now there is no evedance that he is a natural born citizen which you are to be to be in office they have this in court for him to show his REL birth Certificate.
and his grandma says he was born in KEnya and some school things say he was an exchange student being an exchange student proves he isnt a true born American and it is showing now!

Hi Lakota,
Splatterd red tomato on his face is not the answer, it is just rude and childish, they wanted him to be their president in the fist place, I do not understand politics in this coundtry let alone in US, but which ever is the leader of the country, p0eople will never be happy, like in our country, I just wish people would stop doing these stupid things. VERY CHILDISH!

I don't think photo's like that help anything or the United State. There are better ways to show your disappointment in someone. You could write and article. Words are more affective then a touched up photo.

No it doesn't! Better men than Obama have had tomatoes thrown at them. However IMO it has nothing to do with inciting assassination it is a time old method of showing displeasure.

I don't like Obama but I do think the photo goes a little too far. I wouldn't do this to anybody whether I liked them or not. I don't hate anybody. I just don't always like the way they do. We're supposed to love everybody but not their ways. Kathy.
