Nigerian mattress firm capitalises on Obama's dreams

A Nigerian mattress company hopes to reap tangible payback from the US inauguration Tuesday with an advertising spread featuring Barack Obama dozing with the slogan: "great mattress, great dreams."


Full-spread advertisements of a grinning, T-shirt-clad Obama, who was to be sworn in Tuesday as America's first black American president, appeared in national dailies wrapped in a quilt and snoozing on a mattress.

"With nothing but a funny name and an awesome dream, you've shown the world that if we can dream it, YES WE CAN achieve it,"  ...

Yes we can 

That may be a direct quote from those that are still eating a few years from now.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

YES WE CAN take out pillagers at 250 meters with iron sights and one shot.  I HOPE the guys in the OP can CHANGE magazines fast enough to take them all down before they close on the perimeter.
