Former President Obama praised a North Carolina teenager for his "creative organizing" methods after the 17-year-old took advantage of the long lines at Popeyes to register people to vote on Saturday.

"Saw this story of a young person doing great work and wanted to share it—keep it up, David! That’s some creative organizing," Obama tweeted on Wednesday of David Ledbetter, a 17-year-old from Charlotte.

Were people being offered free chicken to sign-up?
Cause that would be illegal.

Oh but he does....once they become a serious liability they tend to “disappear” rather quickly. Seth Rich, Epstein, etc.

So they’ll elect politicians who promise the “free” healthcare they’ll be consuming after a shortened life consuming Popeyes-centric diets.

Obama also once praised a kid who took apart a digital clock and then claimed he constructed it himself.

What? Random people on the street can register you to vote? I had to show proof of address and swear I was who I said I was at the DMV...

“...free chicken to sign up? Cause that would be illegal.”

I believe he was handing out sample ballots along with the blank voter registration applications.

If the sample ballots indicated a candidate or party preference, that would be illegal.
If he helped anyone fill out their voter registration cards, or if any part was already marked, that would be illegal.

I see by your posts that you spit a lot. Do you dip or chew?
I remember when I was young the old ladies sat in their rocking chairs on their front porches, dipped snuff and could spit across the front yard.

Could have saved the trouble just by going to the local cemetery and wrote some folks up.
