Too bad I don’t live out on a street people drive by. I’d put up an “Obama Lies” sign or something like that (”Obama: Change for the Worse”). But then I chose this place because my kids wouldn’t be playing where there’s a street with traffic, so I’m not really complaining.
I recently sent some info to a friend of mine who was not an O supporter 6 months ago. She replied to my letter by saying “don’t believe everything you hear”. I said Oh S- ‘she’s been converted!’
I saw a fellow wearing a “Yes We Can” (with an image of the messiah on it) t-shirt last night at a restaurant on 3rd Avenue, and I politely asked him what he knew about Obama and his policies, or should I say the lack of them. Of course he said that Obama stands for “change.” I asked him to name a single accomplishment Obama has had in the senate, just one, and guess what, he couldn’t. He was clearly annoyed at my question and immediately said he didn’t want to see another Bush term. I told him that I agree with him, that I am very disappointed in Bush’s excessive spending during his two terms, and that’s why I was voting for a candidate (McCain) who doesn’t believe in earmarks and wasteful spending. He turned around and that was the end of the conversation.
