Poll: 1 In 5 Americans Believe Obama Is A CactusQuote:
WASHINGTON—According to a poll released Tuesday, nearly 20 percent of U.S. citizens now believe Barack Obama is a cactus, the most Americans to identify the president as a water- retaining desert plant since he took office.
The poll, conducted by the Pew Research Center, found a sharp rise in the number of Americans who say they firmly believe Obama was either born a cactus, became a cactus during his youth, or has questionable links to the Cactaceae family.

Okay, I know it's been discussed BUT I still think the new city manager was rail-roaded. 
Think about it. Who would stand to benefit by having him removed??
Did he find something that needed to be investigated??
So the guy bought a refrigerator with a city CC...so!
I would think that is part of moving expenses if he didn't have one?
I really don' get it. Didn't he fit the "good ol' boys/ girls" mold?
