Priceless!

“Thanks for the question, you little jerk.”

If I were McCain, I wouldn’t be a-calling any one “little.”

Where do I sign up for the $50 an hour picking lettuce?

Hey Brownlee, why don’t you just post the blog as an official Obama Campaign HQ? :)

The videos just about sum up the difference between the candidates.

I third that Steven and TDT! If they could do that for America it would raise the stature of both in my opinion – make them seem more like patriots than politicians.

American’s have had as much hopelessness as we can handle. I think that’s why Obama is meeting such success. We need his message of hope for change. Positive attitudes can make a change! He is being the little engine that could.

Outlander,

Who picked vegetables and fruits before the Mexican legals and illegals did it?

McCain made a point, but it wasn’t the point he meant to make. If you can’t see that, open your eyes.

It was funny to see those kids in the video raising their hands for the $50 lettuce picking jobs, when they would last maybe a couple of hours before calling for their mommies.

And outlander knows this because he used to pick cotton or something?

Who gets up at 2 AM to empty the 55 foot trailers at the UPS site? Who bails hay in Indiana? Who smooths cement footings with a carborundum block? Who busts up sidewalks with a jack-hammer?

Those are all pretty hard jobs and I’ve done every one of them for pay. And so did my white American friends.

Obama has been declared the winner in Virgina.

“Clinton holds a 1,147 to 1,124 delegate lead over Obama — a sum that includes not only pledged delegates but also superdelegates, a group of roughly 800 elected officials and other party establishment figures.”

From the link above.

Polls are showing that both Maryland and D.C. will go with Obama. I think this will be the night Obama overtakes Clinton.

I didn’t bother with video 1

The second one is good.

Hey outlander? Fifty bucks an hour sounds damn good to me. And a whole lot easier than most work I’ve ever done. And you DON’T get to blame those kids for what McCain said. He said picking lettuce paid 50 bucks an hour and implied that Americans were too lazy to do it. He is either BADLY out of touch or just plain insulting of his fellow American.

I thought the idea on the picking lettuce, was that Yuma, AZ is a pretty hot and miserable place. And unsaid, if I am correct (and I am not sure I am), the type of work we need Mexican workers for.

C’mon, there are still jobs picking lettuce for $50 an hour. You just have to be employed by Halliburton and receive one of McCain’s big government, never ending war contracts. McCain has no problem spending taxpayer money but he’d prefer spending that kind of money on killing Iraqis and raping American women.

I know, that comment was unfair, he’d like to kill Iranians too.

Obama has more than good branding. Michelle Obama (the real one, not the robocalls) called my 73 yr old mother and asked her to caucus for her husband. My mother and father did.

This campaign knows how to connect with people. I have been a skeptic about B.H. Obama, and I still am, but I must say they are masterful in campaigning – especially in caucus states.

Woweeee, from the looks of these primary election results there are a whole shit-pot of very smug white people out there voting for the “black dude”, whomever he may be. As long as its not a BOG (black old guard) such as Jackson or Sharpton.

Now we know where the old unreconstructed left went.

Now the rest of you had better not actually look at his voting record. Will scare the bejesus out of you. Chavez looks good, or perhaps one of the latter day Soviets. But I believe the best comparison is Obama to “Red” Ken Livingston , the Communist mayor of London, where he just instituted the 25 dollar per day car tax to take your car into London, and businesses pay 200 per day for their vehicles.

Get ready to hang on to your billfolds big time or hide your money better than usual.

Hello, of course I came to visit your site and thanks for letting me know about it.
I just read this post and wanted to say it is full of number one resources. Some I am familiar with. For those who don’t know these other sites they are in for a treat as there is a lot to learn there.
