Reward offered for return of missing Obama banner

ST. LOUIS — A $250 reward has been offered in the case of a custom Barack Obama banner that has vanished from City Hall.
The banner featured a likeness of the president above the words “St. Louis” and was signed by U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill, a vocal Obama supporter.
It was one of five canvasses hung by the Young Democrats for a black tie inauguration celebration they co-hosted at City Hall on Jan. 20.
When Young Dem president Martin Casas went to City Hall next morning to retrieve the banners, only four or the five were there.
Created by St. Louis artist Rich Rodriguez – whose signs also adorn the Royale bar on Kingshighway — the banners are an homage to the ubiquitous campaign poster conceived by illustrator Shepard Fairey.
Anyone with information on the missing art can contact the Young Dems and, if it’s retrieved, can pick up the reward with no questions asked.
Democrats……..They don’t pay taxes and like to steal………….
Perhaps the burglar is adding the words: “we can’t depend on”
Isn’t this an example of “redistributing the wealth”?
Look! (as BO would say) The guy that painted the banners worked hard to create them, but someone at the event didn’t have one of the banners, and felt that they would like one. The Young Democrats should be celebrating this redistribution of wealth. The artist should be happy to give away what he worked hard to create. -Now the artist knows what it feels like to be a Republican.
Tell me how this is different than taxing the haves so that we can give what is theirs to the have nots.
Speaking of Claire, I just picked this little ditty up from a pro-Hillary website
http://hillbuzz.wordpress.com/ on an article about what happens to people who turned on Hillary:
Missing from this list above is Claire McCaskill, one of the most vile and terrible people in the Senate, as well as Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey. John Lewis and Jamse Clyburne, both race-baiting Members of Congress, round out the Big Four whose cosmic chickens have not come home to roost…yet.
McCaskill’s up for re-election in 2012, and we can’t speak for everyone in Hillary World Wide, but we certainly plan on doing everything we can to see her defeated (so she can go home to spend more time with her children, whom apparently make all of McCaskill’s major political decisions for her).
RTW - That was great!
Have they looked in Sandy Berger’s pants?
For the record… I don’t have it.
One must wonder… just how much did the Young Democrats have to pay to use city hall for their party?
Right… that’s what I thought…
tsquat: They paid $400, just like every other non-profit.
