President Obama is scheduled to visit Texas A&M today. They received such an overwhelming response to his proposed visit that they declared that they would have to register all of the people that wanted to come. Here's the catch. If people wanted to attend they had to declare whether they were attending to support the president or protest the president. Once everyone had declared why they were going to attend the speech the event became invitation only. And invitations were sent out to a mere 600 supporters. The rest of the crowd is protesting in another area of the campus.
This is the funny part. This is a campus of 50,000 college age kids, and there are only 600 supporters out of the entire group.
When one aggie was asked the question, "Did you know that the president is here at former president George Bush's invitation? Shouldn't you extend hospitality?"
The student responded, "Hospitality is a value that I hold very dear, but I'm an Aggie, and Aggies don't lie, cheat or steal or tolerate those who do."
I wonder if this will be covered on CNN or MSNBC. Probably not, but here in the heart of Aggieland you can't help but hear about it. So, those of you that don't like conservative politics should probably stay away from Texas because next to Austin, College Station is considered the most liberal city in Texas.
