For those who may confidently feel Obama might lose this fall,,,,
A sampling of the intelectual awareness of American voters
I didn't want to hijack the funny pictures thread but I did want to respond to Franc's post as he has hit home for sure. original thread here.
I do not feel confident at all Franc. I was at the grocery store last week and noticed that at least 85% of the people walking around didn’t look to me as though they were doing anything other than surviving in their own little worlds. Not saying there is anything wrong with that, just saying that they appeared to be oblivious of anything outside of that world.
I’m not as sharp as many of you, but I try to keep up with current events (meaning I read all of Cowboy's posts) and the people that are responsible for what’s going on in the world. So while the clerk was checking me out (groceries, not physical) I asked her what she thought about Eric Holder? Her eyes lit up and she asked me if he was coming to town and did I know where she could get tickets.
Turns out she was no exception as nobody else that I asked knew who he was either. Today I saw an Obama commercial hammering home the fact that he is working to make sure that we all have an even chance and everyone pays their fair share. I realize what a load of crap this commercial is, but the people at the grocery store will all see him as a great guy who is standing up for them, and making sure that the world is a better place.
Some scary stuff.
