Source: Obama will visit movie set
"See ya tomorrow, Atlanta!" AP photo
President Barack Obama, headed to Atlanta for a fundraising visit at the Westin Peachtree Plaza on Tuesday, will work in a stop at the set of “42,” filming this week in Midtown and in Inman Park, according to a well-placed source with direct knowledge of the situation.
The movie is about Jackie Robinson, who broke Major League Baseball’s color line when playing for the Dodgers. It has been filming in Macon, Chattanooga and Birmingham. Things are wrapping up this week in Midtown. Good timing for the president, whose people let it be known he’d like to stop by.
The movie folks were happy to oblige, and we hear from someone in a position to know that the visit is a go.
This will do traffic no favors, of course. Detours and lane closures are often part of the package when a movie films on city streets. Add in presidential security and … you get the idea.
According to fliers that went up over the weekend, filming is taking place in Midtown, on Cypress, West Peachtree and Peachtree streets this week. We drove by that area earlier and the only evidence of movie making we saw was a bunch of equipment on the sidewalk outside a location around the area of 6th and Cypress streets. It looked like things were just getting set up.
The moving is also doing some filming in Inman Park, on Edgewood Avenue between Elizabeth and Hurt streets.
We’ll post updates as they are available.

I don’t need to donate to Obama on Tuesday in midtown because I am already going to donate to him through an Obama Registry. I decided that instead of donating to Rodney King’s Funeral (they are asking for $22,000 to help for the funeral since they have no money after spending the $3.3 million they were awarded in 1992) and setting up an Obama Registry for Rodney Kings Funeral to Help Re-Elect Obama.

Interesting his visit coincides with the movie about Jackie Robinson. And like Jackie Robinson, when he was getting all the hate he couldn’t say “Its my race that you really hate!”, President Obama has to do the same. Imagine if Obama has 5 grandmothers like Romney has?? That would be a negative for Obama. Not so for Romney.

Republicans are more divisive by pushing all of their fundamentalists beliefs on the rest of Americans. They say the economy and jobs are the most important yet they all they want to do back home is worry about abortions, women’s rights, and gay marriage.

Right-wing commentator, circa 2001-2008: “It’s so great when the president decides to get outside Washington and press the flesh. Really shows how down to Earth he is. Helluva guy. I wish he’d come to Atlanta more often. Any amount of traffic is worth the honor. Come on people, show your patriotism!”
Right-wing commentator, circa 2009-2012: “That communist should get back to Washington where he belongs. He’s only coming to raise more money, just shows how greedy those Democrats are. They can never get enough! If I’m lucky enough to see his motorcade, I’m gonna spit on it.”

That was clearly not what Jesus did when he was on earth but I Digress because no matter how much solid evidence is given to show that the sky isnt falling, you people will continue to hate on Obama. If you can say with a straight face that you were better off under Bush and republicans, you are a flat out LIAR

Most libs that vote for Obama are ignorant of how the economy, business, the system, etc… truly works. Most don’t know the difference between a profit and profit margin. Don’t believe me? Whenever they spout out that corporations and wealthy people need to pay more taxes, that is proof positive.
It’s called a trickle down effect folks. The US has the highest corp taxes in the world. Gee you wonder why they move to other countries and take the jobs with them… Thank President Obama for that.
Tax the rich!! Well, I’ve never worked for a poor guy, and neither have any of you libs either. Tax the man that pays your salary more and you may just find out you don’t have a paycheck anymore, because he/she can’t afford to pay you because of those higher taxes you wished so badly on them.
Oh… don’t like the fact that you have to pay a higher price for some of those goods and services you buy/use? Well, maybe if the corporations that you wished higher taxes on didn’t have to make up the difference by charges higher prices, you’d get those lower prices.
You GIMME GIMME libs don’t see the BIG PICTURE. All you focus on is you and that’s the problem.
That's right
June 25th, 2012
5:36 pm
Great point “plain and simple”. Its a proven fact that if you lower taxes, the government’s revenues rise. Obama, in his infinite wisdom of growing the govt so freaking large, doesn’t realize that and by now, the govt is so big that that plan probably wouldn’t work.
We need a Pres that MASSIVELY shrinks the size of Government and then lowers taxes to stimulate buying and job creation.

But if you REALLY want to get to the root of ALL of our problems- it’s corporate influence in politics and government.
All politicians are controlled by wealthy business interests. None of them care about the people. Just the extremely wealthy people.
I dare you to name a single politician, dem or rep, that is NOT controlled by corporate lobbying…

Food for thought-
If you were a business owner, would you prefer to have 99 people come in and spend 20 bucks on your product, or 1 person come in and spend 50 bucks on your product?
THAT is why we need real financial reform that helps low and middle class Americans. Fund education, agriculture, and health care with even a quarter of the amount of money we spend on ‘defense’ (aka dropping bombs on brown people) every year and we’d see ALL of our problems disappear.
(One more point- for all the racist and ignorant trolls- at least have the decency to post under only 1 screenname. We realize you are trying to make your point of view seem popular, but we’re not falling for your tricks.)

WELCOME to Atlanta President Barack Obama !!!!!
President Obama has accomplished remarkable things during his tenure as President of the United States of America. History will show him as one of America’s greatest leaders.
He took office with TWO wars, financial meltdown with banks, auto manufactures and investment companies on the verge of collapse, European instability, economy in a down spiral and a Congress that fight him tooth and nails on most issues.
President Obama took office and stabilized things and helped to end the wars and bring some of our brave heroes home.
May God Bless President Barack Obama and the United States of America.
We pray and hope for your re-election !!!!!

@CD Edwards: Please educate us all on the following regarding your post.
What has HE done with regards to those 2 wars? And what did he PROMISE to do with regards to those 2 wars (here’s a hint: what he has done and what he promised will not be the same if you answer honestly!)
Other than bailing out the banks with my tax dollars, what has he done to stabilize the economy? (here’s a hint: you can’t answer with anything that revolves aroune OPM – other peoples money)
Go look at the House majority when he took office genius. It was a DEMOCRATIC majority – so if there was any fighting from Congress, it was while his party was in the majority (until 2010 when enough voters got tired of that and voted the Democrats OUT).
Just in case you missed his promise – he said he would end the war (that’s still going on 4 years later) and bring home ALL soldiers, not some.
The blind beliefs that you are showing truly indicate that you are not in touch with reality.

get over it chickenhawks the president is too black and too strong. does your fear of strong black men cloud your judgement? of course it does because everybody knows black men are tougher than white men. i think these facts make conservative white males insecure about their own weak manhood. the whole world thinks the white male is weak. look at what OSAMA did with 19 hi jackers and boxcutters. if those planes had black passengers instead of white weak males then those hi jackers would have had their azzes stomped. the tragedy could have been averted if the white male passengers didnt sh#t their pants with fear. black MEN would have taken the boxcutters away and beat the living daylights outta them arabs and not cower in fear like the white BOYS did.

C’mon Mr. President, you know better! It’s just common decency to be respectful of a city full of voters who typically support you…otherwise, you lose those supporters just for your inconsiderate timing.
People here have places to be, he is the president, but he is as human as we are. It would serve him well to be respectful of us as much as people around here worship him.

It’s not about the color of one’s skin,it’s about using skin color to get government contracts when you are not professionally qualified,government handout when you have the ability to work.It’s about the disproportionate amount of violence committed black males born into the government plantation.
Liberal whitey’s that voted Barry in got just what they deserve.He is using his executive privlage to overide the constitution,defy the church.
I don’t see any ethiopians,kenyans with dreads,long white T’s,pants on the ground,wearing grills,standing on the corner in Clarkston or Kennesaw selling crack ? They are black too,right ? How come ?
If being a black American were so cool,they would be copying them,right ?

if the plane had blacks instead of whites on it, the minute the arabs pulled out their boxcutters they would have been bumrushed and stomped to death. blacks arent afraid of these muslims or terrorists because we have been raqised in the belly of the beast. muslim terrorists dont scare blacks because our ancestors have been fighting white chrisian terrorists for decades.

@liberalefty I wouldn’t not vote for Obama because he caused a traffic jam… but his disregard for the American public (by choosing a Friday rush hour of a high-traffic city to shut down a major road) would be more likely to have an effect on my vote. (though right now he’s got no decent competition running against him).
Also, I really hope that your black vs. white remarks aren’t serious… If all blacks thought like you, I’d be hated simply because of my skin color…isn’t this exactly the sort of thing that black America has been fighting against for a century? I’m a white person living in a historically black neighborhood, and I’m grateful that my neighbors don’t consider me weak simply because of my skin color.
I also know quite a few fairly tough white guys…marines, soldiers, etc… personality, not race, determines strength.
I still kind of can’t get past the level of offense I feel for the families of everyone who died on those 9/11 planes if you really believe that the passengers were too weak to save themselves. Go back into your racist hole until you’re ready to get along w/ the rest of the world…

@liberalefty – Causing a traffic jam would not cost my vote. Disregard for the American public could potentially have a negative effect on my vote (by this, I mean choosing to shut down a major road on a Friday rush hour of a city known for bad traffic). Right now, Obama has no decent competition as far as I can tell, so he hasn’t fully lost my vote yet… but I don’t love him either. I’m in the lesser of evils phase I guess…
Also, please tell me that your racist rants about blacks being tougher than whites are not serious! I find it completely offensive for the families of people who died on 9/11 if you think that simply because these men were too “weak” to do anything about it. I know plenty of “tough” people who are white (marines, soldiers, etc. come in all shapes/sizes/colors)
It’s completely ignorant to judge somebody’s worth and/or “toughness” simply based on their skin color. That type of racism is what black America has been fighting against for a century… I am a white person living in a historically/mostly black neighborhood, and I’m grateful that my neighbors don’t consider me weak simply because I’m white.

@liberalefty – Isn’t judgement based upon skin color exactly what black Americans have been fighting AGAINST for a century?
I’ve lived in a historically black neighborhood for a few years, and maybe my neighbors are just more accepting of whites than you are… I’ve never heard the racist opinion that whites are weaker simply because of skin color. What does that say about all of the enlisted military men and women who are any ethnicity other than black? Are you calling them weak as well?

The NBA is 85 % black,there are no race based quotas. The players are paid strictly by their ability. It’s a free enterprise system designed by a shrewed jewish lawyer,David Stern. Truth is,iblack Americans excelled mentally on the level of NBA players,everybody would be working for them,including asians,arabs,indians………Right ?
Where is the high intelligence ? Sharpton ? Jackson ? Obama (mulado Jimmy Carter)?
No,Clarence Thomas,Conaleeza Rice,Colin Powell,Artur Davis,Mia Love.
They made it up the ladder pretty far with true intelligence,talent,not handouts.
Thatt’s a sample the 5% of blacks who did not vote for Obama.

Affirmative action shouldn’t even be needed… if people in charge weren’t so biased (against race or gender), it wouldn’t be needed… this is spoken from the perspective of a female in a very male-dominated field (I’m one of 3 females out of a 15-person team of employees). No use in whining about affirmative action and fairness on either side of the fence, trust me… it is what it is, and it’s unfair.
As much as it provides jobs for minorities/females, it does occasionally deprive opportunities to qualified candidates because they happen to be the majority (white males – my brother is proof of this…genius but couldn’t get a job to save his life b/c of affirmative action quotas, as he eventually found out)

P.S. – Obama’s skin color is a pretty mixed bag – he’s as white as he is black. There was probably a time when he’d be judged by blacks for not being black enough. He’s a racially decent representative of the States – a mixed bag of races. His skin color has nothing to do w/ people liking/disliking him… it’s his actions.

Hahaha! You should have told that to me when I discovered that I was making just over 1/2 the salary of one of my male counterparts who had the exact same job description as I did. I had a good degree from Ga Tech, and my coworker, a nice guy, had less experience and no degree. Luckily the guy was a friend of mine and suspected this was happening…that’s how I found out.
So, while it may benefit white women in getting their administrative jobs here and there… getting a legit job with equal pay in a male-dominated profession is still a challenge.

Sexism and racism are both still running rampant, I won’t deny that… but I’m not going to run around blabbing that women are better than men because of this or that. We all have our strengths… racially, it’s no different.
Affirmative action shouldn’t be needed b/c the mix of different strengths and weaknesses should be welcomed…
