Saw My First Obama Yard Sign |
|
I had to travel to my old home town here in NC a few days ago to look for some car parts for a car I am currently restoring. As I was driving through the residential area my folks stay in, I came to a stop light. Sitting there while it was red, I was looking around at the old neighborhood... and lo and behold...the morning after Obama's big speech.... there was a campaign sign...
:wow:
lying on the trash pile of raked up leaves on the curb for the city trash pick-up.
:rofl::rofl::rofl:
This is a true story. :hi:

1. Oh, gawd, CJ! That was GOOD! |
|
Needed a good laugh this a.m.
Is this a harbinger of things to come? Of things happening NOW? I hope so, on both counts!
I keep coming back to some comments of yours that have stayed with me - about keeping the faith, and about the seeds of doubt having been planted about BO's sanctity. Thank you for your morale boosts - look forward to all your posts, ya know.
And this is one of the best anecdotes I've read yet!

just cracked up when we realized what we were seeing and the implications of that here in NC.
DU is just another Obama cyber bubble. They do not reflect the masses and from the local talk around, not many were impressed by Obama's speech.

If she could pull off NC that would be amazing
Edwards will be on Leno tonight and The Time mag editor said he
would endorse Hillary before the NC primary. So it might be interesting tonight

It was up on Sunday and down on Wednesday.
Weird, huh?

The cyber blog world only represents about 22% of the voting population. It is not a relevant comparison point to compare what the bloggers think to the general public.

9. Ha, ha! Thanks for the story. Kinda reminds me of some of my |

Bush lovin' neighbors. Over the past four years or so, the neighborhood has gone from lots of vehicles and homes decked out with I Support Our Troops and Our President, Annoy a Liberal, etc., ubiquitous yellow ribbons, W04, and so on. There are like three diehards still "flyin' the flag" but most of them quietly took down the signs. I wish I could have seen one of them on a garbage heap like you did though!

Yeah, I went from seeing umpteen 'W' stickers to a rare one now and then here in redneck repub country. It is hard to find many that will even admit to having voted for the shrub. :rofl:

The Wright issue may be the thing that kills his chances.
