Today on the way to work I walked one of my usual routes and was about to arrive at the corner of Third Avenue and 64th Street - when I noticed next to the coffee truck on the sidewalk there was table set up with some sort of display and two YOUNG people saying things and handing out literature of some nature.

Upon closer inspection I saw there was a photo poster of Obama with a Hitler mustache - and without breaking stride I saw that the effort here was about impeaching Obama.

I am old enough to have an opinion about this. I was offended at the glib "marketing" of this idea. I could feel the blood boiling up from my feet. I want to ask these people if they had voted in the last election..were they even registered? I wanted to find out if they really knew what they were talking about. I walked in a few Vietnam protests marches. That, in my opinion was VERY clear. This did not seem clear in any way.

I could not hear specifics because I did not want to hear - perhaps unjust of me - this is a free country. But as I walked by and made the turn uptown on Third, I was close enough to voice my opinion to them and the few others within earshot:

You should be ashamed of yourselves

Don't get me started about Occupy Wall Street....
