"Racism still alive, they just be concealing it".

Don't sleep. A LOT of people will or will not vote for Obama on the sole basis of his skin color which is unjustifiably ignorant. The election is quickly approaching and people are starting to get crazy/nervous/silly/ignorant and forgetting about the issues. No matter who wins it's going to take the US a while to bounce back from the beat down we've taken for the past 8 years. Jobs are being slashed left and right, the stock market is a joke and let's not forget, we're still at war. Let's stick to the script people and not let race cloud our judgment. I'm not telling you who to vote for, I'm not even telling you to vote but whatever you do, do it based on cold hard facts.

Dead bear cub covered with 2 Obama signs found on Western Carolina University campus

CULLOWHEE, N.C. - Police at Western Carolina University and wildlife officials were investigating the discovery early Monday of a dead bear cub draped with a pair of Barack Obama campaign signs.

Leila Tvedt, associate vice chancellor for public relations, said Monday night that maintenance workers found the 75-pound bear cub shot to death in front of the school's administration building at the entrance to campus. The Obama yard signs were stapled together and placed over the bear's head, Tvedt said.

The bear had been shot in the head, Tvedt said.

"Western Carolina University deplores the inappropriate behavior that has led to this troubling incident," Tvedt said. "We cannot speculate on the motives of the people involved nor who those people might be. Campus police are cooperating fully with authorities to investigate this matter."

University police called in state Wildlife Resources officials to remove the body and help in the investigation.

Bear season is under way in western North Carolina.
