My coworkers just earned $40 for Obama in 5 minutes.

I long gave up arguing politics with RW blowhards; I have no more chance of changing their minds than they do changing mine. INSTEAD, I tally up every Anti-Obama remark I hear in person and donate $10 to the Obama campaign.

These four idiotic remarks from three coworkers just earned $40 for the campaign:

-- "All the Obamas do is go on vacation... to Martha's Vineyard, now to London... and we pay for it!"

-- "And everywhere you look on the Internet, they have ads planted to wish Obama a happy birthday, as if anyone would want to."

-- "Actually, I'd be willing to spend $500 to go to his birthday, if I could ask him what I wanted to ask and tell him what I wanted to tell him!"

-- "You should read this book out about Obama [didn't catch the title], where they asked about 200 of his closest friends what he's really like and what he really did, and on every page you're saying to yourself 'How stupid is that?' 'How stupid is that?'"

Every time my RW coworkers open their pie-holes, the Obama campaign goes "Ka-ching!" I'll wait until after the election to tell how much cash they generated.
