Obama barn hurting brother's Elkhart County business

There's no doubt the upcoming election is having a big impact on people. But places? A local farm market owner is losing business because of a political sign put up by his brother. Sweet corn is their specialty. But lately Bullard's Farm Market is getting some not-so-sweet attention.

"Over the Labor Day weekend my brother painted a barn," explained Bullard's Farm Market owner Kevin Bullard.

An Obama Barn that is. It's part of a grassroots campaign called "Barns for Obama." Supporters paint an "O" on their barns to show their support.

"Barns for Obama."
Are Barns registered voters?


I guess so, I saw this Obama supporter on TV.

Mr. Ed for Obama.

The sign should say: “It’s a zero, not an oh.”

Stupid is as stupid does. People vote with their wallets. Its as simple as that. Perhaps the FEC should look into excessive donations for a candidate as well.

It’s sort of like a farmer selling his soul to the devil. He gets a free paint job, possibly costing a few thousand dollars, but then helps to destroy the country.

How were they able to grab a paintbrush when their hands were busy clinging to their guns and religion?

I will forever NOT do business with anyone openly supporting that communist muzzie!

I don't know he is a muzzie. Ditto on that communist bit, though...

Why would I do business with somebody who supports a candidate who will do so much damage to my country? There are lots of farms in Ohio and Indiana. Lots of places to buy corn.

You really don't want to know the answer to that question...

one brother has painted an OBAMA ‘08 on his barn — with no apparent concern for what it is doing to the other brother’s business?

With so many family farms failing, taking food out of the mouths of his neices and nephews doesn't bother him at all.

“Most people with no connection to farming see it through the media’s lense, that all farms are all alike, all across the country.”

Alas, “most people” don’t have a clue as to the difference between “farming” and “agribiz”. Awhile back, I found a database listing all the farms in my county that recieved govt. subsidies. Not surprisingly, less than one percent received *anything* and those that did averaged less than $1000. Hardly worth the massive paperwork involved.

But not to fear, once NAIS and CODEX are shoved through, there won’t be any “farmers”.

Well, since I am not a Democrat, I can’t vote against him twice! His hatred for this country is enough for me!

So in order to support the Obamantion, one brother has painted an OBAMA ‘08 on his barn — with no apparent concern for what it is doing to the other brother’s business?

The barn should say, “I Like Obama and Screwing My Brother”

If there wasn’t so much truth to the statement, it would be offensive.
