Signs of the Times
While driving along the North Coast last Sunday, Slim and I both observed something : almost every political sign in front of the multi-million dollar homes of the “old money” and “nouveau riche” were in support of the McCain/Palin ticket. Today, as I was driving through one of Cleveland’s “Trendy & Cool” neighborhoods, chock full of hipsters, gays & young apartment dwellers – the opposite. The only signs to be found were Obama/Biden, and I thought about the interesting contrast, especially since the two areas are only separated by a short distance.
Speaking of, LeBron James and Jay-Z are throwing a free concert at Quicken Loans Arena in support of Obama/Biden. As I passed through downtown, I noticed a line of about 75 people outside of Consumer Credit Counseling – how sad I thought. Driving through Lakewood past the O/B Headquarters I noticed several hundred people in line for the free tickets. Upon further review, the people downtown were doing the same, so I guess it wasn’t as sad as I originally surmised.
O/B’s campaign team has been out in force, trying to register voters and rally support – something I have not seen much evidence of from Mc/P. I have even been visited at home multiple times. I am not personally voting for either candidate for my own reasons, but I think it’s fairly clear that Obama will be our next President…
You remember a couple years ago when I commented on Obama on the cover of Time magazine… how he was the perfect Anti-Christ. Hmm….it’s all falling into place.
I like him too, what does that say about me? 🙂

Well maybe if you are still unemployed you can be part of the “spread the wealth” – or as per one of your past blogs – you could always do customer service at home depot, looks like they need a few good men! Hope to see you Thanksgiving Saturday!!!

Hey there ! I’ll be contacting Uncle Obama for my piece of the pie. The plan is to be in Baltimore in time for Thanksgiving Saturday unless I am working and can’t get time off ~ yeah right. Mike always says to “get on the public teet” whenever you can !
