All one has to do is find one thing that Obama said he would accomplish that he did accomplish and your statement that he never followed through on any of his promises. He got Obamacare passed, and that, in my opinion, was a great accomplishment as well as the fulfillment of a promise. It is true that Republicans kept him from achieving many other things he wanted to achieve. But your statement is the usual Republican hyperbole. It is false.

OK here's the deal:

Hobo Hedgehog is seeking a trip around the world on the cheap (for him anyway). I'm going to start a sign up list of people on this thread who want to host Hobo for 10 days to 2 weeks and show him around where they live. Then the current host will Private Message the next person on the list, get a mailing address and pass him on to the that person. He wants to get around the world but expects to criss-cross larger, heavily populated countries along the way and is prepared to cross large bodies of water more than once, he is a hobo after all. The current host is responsible for all shipping charges to the next destination, Hobo is a hobo after all and doesn't have any money.

Hobo is very photogenic so I would ask you to post your 3 favorite shots of his stay with you on this thread but as many as you want on a different thread that you start yourself.

The list on this thread would consist of host name and general location (city, state, country). Actual physical addresses would be sent between current host and next host on the list by PM only! Hobo is hinting that he owes some people some money and doesn't want to be easily found but does want to taunt the 'bill collectors' with photos of where he has been ;-). but not specifically (street address) where he is headed.

The Rules

1. If you sign up, please keep him traveling and don't break the chain. If you have a crazy two weeks with bad weather while you are his host perhaps some photos of him at your kitchen table, watching TV, or even posting on UH will do. Not everybody can get a shot of him at Hoover Dam, the Grand Canyon, or the Empire State Building.

2. Don't add or subtract anything from the package. You should receive Hobo, his bundle on a stick and a list of people and locations where he has been in a reusable cardboard box. If the box gets wet or damaged beyond repair, by all means replace it, but only when necessary.

3. Have fun, show him around your area, maybe even that place that you keep telling yourself you will go to someday, go there with him. Activities are good too, weddings, birthday parties, holiday celebrations, anything goes, he is a bit of a party animal.

To sum up: Keep him moving on down the line. Don't add or subtract anything from the package. Have fun, take lots of photos and post your favorite three photos here.

Any questions? Ask away! I'll start his first two week stint here in Jonesborough TN and then send him on to his next destination.

He is eager and ready to go soon.

I doubt very much that Romney has broken any tax laws. My interest in Romney's tax returns is pretty simple. He only paid 13.9% rate on his 2010 taxes and I want to see how much his proposed tax cuts for the wealthy are going to benefit him. I think a lot of his policies are designed to benefit himself and his few wealthy friends. And Obama has released 10 years of tax returns. They are public record.
