This makes me so mad! My Dem Mayor made front page news today saying he signed a letter opposing Obama's remarks! GRRRRR! I absolutely hate this f-ing town and state! I've lived here all my life with many dumb-ss people. I'm sick of it. I can't move because my spouse won't move away from here but I would in a heartbeat if I could. Bill Clinton must've injected the mayor with something when he came to visit and introduced him. This is totally unfair. This is freakin' hicksville. Obama is too smart for the presidency. The dumbf-cks don't even understand what he was saying.

Mayor says signature does not mean he’s taking sides

Logansport Mayor Mike Fincher says lending his name to an open letter criticizing remarks by Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama was intended neither to denounce the Illinois senator’s candidacy nor to endorse that of his opponent, Sen. Hillary Clinton.
“It means that I didn’t like what Sen. Obama had to say, and that’s the extent of it really,” said Fincher. “I thought it was out of line, I don’t agree with it, and I won’t agree with it.”
The letter stemmed from Obama’s characterization of small town, working class Americans during remarks at a fundraiser in San Francisco. Obama said many Americans faced difficult economic circumstances because of the loss of industrial jobs.

That list now includes 11 Indiana mayors who lent their names to the open letter. The letter, which was also endorsed by Crawfordsville Mayor Charlie Coons and Hammond Mayor Tom McDermott, expressed the group’s “sincere disappointment” over the “comments which demeaned the values of small Midwestern towns.”
