Corn Field/John Deere Backdrop: How Dare We Claim Misery Tour Political?
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/17/2011 5:19:46 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Check out this clip [via MSNBC] from a speech President Obama gave in Illinois during his current Magical Misery Tour of the Midwest. There's PBO, in front of a corn field, the hood of a John Deere tractor peeking in from the right [imagine the poll testing--how much of the tractor should be in the shot?]

And listen as PBO's voice breaks as he proclaims how great America is and how much he loves it. And we dare claim it's a taxpayer-funded political stunt?!

I live just a few miles from Alpha. In this part of the
world it’s hard to take a picture without corn and a JD in
the background!

We look at the photo background and laugh at the insincerity of it.

Liberals look a the photo background and think of alternative fuel.

Did any one notice the lack of American flags at these events...

Haven't you heard, the presence of American flags spontaneously generates Republicans. He can't let that happen.

His crowds were so small that he had to talk about those he rode by, trying to make it all sound much grander.
