Do the first to letters of Benton Harbor stand for "Benton Harbor" or "Barack Hussein"?

In Pontiac the Silverdome was sold for about 1% of what it was worth. Now the emergency manager who sold it is partnering with the guy who bought it to open a casino there. That's what emergency managers do

So because he was elected then anything he does is ok and doesn't qualify as tyranny because he was elected? Does that same standard apply to Barack Obama?

Benton Harlem has enough free guns running around already, don't you worry.

Flint is even worse then Detroit.

Maybe if they'd managed their resources better...

According to many just like you it's completely ok when Obama does it so I'm not seeing why you're having a problem with it happening in Michigan.

Obama was elected. Just a few months ago the people had the chance to remove Barack Obama, and by extension Eric Holder. They don't have that option with emergency managers
