In a way the one good thing that came out of Obama's selection and his immaculation in 2009 is the fact that it prompted many of us to start prepping in a serious way!
We were raised in the post depression, post WWII era when people still had "Victory Gardens", home canned their own food and stocked the larder in case of hard times.
So as adults we followed tradition and kept extra food and goods on hand in case of an emergency but not in a serious, organized manner.
However, like many others, the "Obama Scare" caused us to start prepping in in a more thoughtful way.
