Why Osawatomie?

Why did the president last week decide to give his big Anti-Capitalism speech in Osawatomie, Kansas? It's just a little small town of less than 5,000 kind of out in the middle of nowhere. It's within 50 miles of Kansas City, but barely (44 miles). Perhaps President Obama wanted to appear to be talking to "Middle America". Maybe he wanted that "small town " feel.

Well, whatever his reason was, I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that the name of the town is exactly the same as the name of the publication created by the Weather Underground, an ultra left-wing, strongly anti-capitalist organization that conducted several terrorist bombings throughout the 70's and whose main goal was to create a clandestine revolutionary party for the violent overthrow of the US government. I'm also sure that it's just pure coincidence that one of the founding members of the Weather Underground, Bill Ayers, held a fundraiser at his house for a young politician just getting his start back in the 80's by the name of Barack Obama.

Yup. Must be a coincidence. I mean after all, Osawatomie is such a common name for both towns and political propaganda publications. I'm sure it's nothing. PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!
