BURLINGTON, Vt. - The founders of Ben & Jerry's endorsed Barack Obama on Monday, and lent his Vermont campaign two "ObamaMobiles" that will tour the state and give away scoops of "Cherries for Change" ice cream. "If there was ever a need for real change, and if there ever was a candidate to inspire us and make that happen, it's now," said Ben Cohen.

I would have preferred "Chocolate Promise." Or maybe, "Cherries Messiah."

I believe that their endorsement dictates that the appropriate flavor of this ice cream be “half and half”.

Change for the sake of change. The Left are deep thinkers.

“moonbat mocha” “commie crunch” “lefty licorice” “soros surprise” “Trotsky ice-picnic”

Reminds me for some reason of one of Johnny Carson’s “answer and question” skits:

A. Blood, sweat, and tears.

Q. What are the three least favorite flavors at Baskin Robbins?

Very disappointing. I just don’t understand why people want America to fail. McCain should have Hillary to run against not the Messiah who is very cult figure. We are doomed.

Ben & Jerry’s founders endorse Obama,

Just shows that mentally ill Liberals will jump on any old Gut Wagon whether or not it pukes off the other stoopid Buzzards.

I think Mr. Cohen’s brain turned into ice cream.
The lefties are now worshiping an empty suit.

As I heard yesterday, the next president will be elected by
morons who watch American Idol and the alphabet network
evening news.
It is a sad time for my country.
Lucky for me, I no longer have anything left in the US, and too old to worry about it, except for my 25 year old daughter
who is stuck in Memphis.

And if I'd had a beverage in my mouth, you'd have owed me a new keyboard.

I’m not surprised at this endorsement. Almost like announcing that water is wet, fire is hot, ice is cold.... Ben & Jerry twerps love the big “O”.
Gee, I’m so surprised! ; ~ )

DA libs just don’t get it. If there had been a President Obama before a Ben and Jerry’s there would not have been a Ben and Jerry’s.

“Suggested names for Obama inspired ice cream:”

How ‘bout, “Anti-Christ Crunch”?

Two terms as President then head of the UN. He’ll bring the world together. Even you and I will think he’s great.
