My thoughts are, is Rexburg the only place on this planet where such sentiments towards president-elect Obama have been expressed? True, what the children said was wrong, and I am too guilty of jest towards president Obama; and Bush; and McCain; and Washington, and Nixon, and J.F. Kennedy, and Taft, and so on and so forth. It's interesting to me that the feelings of resentment and comments made about Rexburg come from people who have never ven been here. I've not lived here my whole life and I have spent time abroad in many countries and I must say Rexburg has a quaity of life that I havn't found anywhere else. I don't believe there is any other place in the world I can leave my car unlocked by acident and still find my wallet sitting on the passanger seat where I left it. There are good people here and the actions of children who have no idea what they are saying do not reflect the entire communities sentiments. I know of several BYU-Idaho professors and students an dcommunity members who heartidly support Obama and believe he will do many good things for this nation.

Idaho isn't a bad place, as a whole state. In Boise many people were excited and happy to see Obama. That said, of course, it doesn't excuse the hatred expressed by those parents and kids. Some parts of the state and some people are beyond understanding. My family members in Southern Idaho are watching everyone around them prepare for the end of the world. How stocking up on preserves and toilet paper will save you in the apocalypse, we haven't quite figured out. p.s. BYU-Idaho will always be Ricks. Rexburg is also close to Napoleon Dynamite territory.

Kids learn their odious, violent hatred in the bosom of those same families, and it does not seem to me that Rexburg is a "great place" for anyone. Furthermore, one child, one PERSON expressing such a horrific sentiment is one too many, and reporting it is in no way distorting its importance. The entire community SHOULD be painted "with the same negative brush." For shame! Rexburg — "a great place to live and raise a family," according to its mayor? Kids learn their odious, violent hatred in the bosom of those same families, and it does not seem to me that Rexburg is a "great place" for anyone.

Famous for rednecks, being the second-to-last stop on your way to Yellowstone, and home of BYU-Idaho. And now we can add: relocation spot for all the Aryan’s kicked out of the Hayden Lake compound.
