Change

This afternoon i was given some cash and told by my boss i was going to be running him an errand. My mission was to get a couple of Obama/Biden yard signs and some Obama bumper stickers. I agreed even though I was a little concerned as to why my conservative boss wanted Obama paraphernalia. So off i drive to the Las Vegas edition of the Obama Camp. I pull into this regular looking business park to find that there isnt a car in the entire place that doesn't have a bumper sticker. I dont care who youre voting for, if you have a bumper sticker on your car youre nasty. ANYWAY, i go in to find TONS of grown adults. Old ladies, middle-aged men, twenty-something granolas and a handful of regulars. There were posters everywhere, people on laptops, others talking SO loud on the phone i couldnt even concentrate on my camera phone...lets just say it was a madhouse. At like 1:30pm.So a bunch of unemployed people are hanging out at the Obama Headquarters, tons of them. They want CHANGE. I got some advice...maybe they should stop sitting around calling registered Republicans on weekends, and start going on job interviews. That would be a good CHANGE i think.I left with 6 bumper stickers, 2 yard signs, and 2 propoganda posters with Obamas "obey" logo, all for 18 dollars. 50 cents per sticker, 8 bucks for the yard signs, and free posters (as long as they are put in a high traffic place). Good thing these Obama volunteers cant count cause i saved a dollar, SUCKAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!My boss is kind of mad i didnt bring the cardboard cutout back to the office with me. I asked how much it was and one guy said "oh i wish i could sell you that...Hell, i wish i could sell ME that!" really sir? what in the world would you do with a lifesize cutout of anyone, let alone a politician. People are so weird.these guys were having some sort of roundtable discussion on how great Obama is. The guy on the right in the gray shirt said "Really what it comes down to is this...Barack Obama is a genius"

I do want to say that i do not think that Obama is the anti-christ, or that I think the world will end if he is elected President. All im saying is, does he have to be so arrogant and pompous all the time? Whats with the smirk? Also i dont think anyone, even the President of the United States, or anyone running for it, needs an entire channel devoted to them on Dish Network...im just saying.

-oh and you'll find out what my boss wanted these for at a later date.

Boo. I read this entire post solely so i could see what your boss was going to do with all that obama crap. Let's hear it already. I hope he plans on defacing it in some way.

Hey, I have a bumper sticker although I think they're ghetto! The reason is b/c I whole heartedly agree with voting "Yes" on Prop 8 in California. I bet you would even have one on if you lived here b/c of what a big deal it is. My point is, it's worth the risk of looking ghetto for the right cause:)

I'll be checking back to see why your boss would give a dime for anything having to do with "Nobama," even if it is to make fun of him. Your blog is so entertaining! Keep it coming.

Shauna, if i could vote for one post that made me laugh so hard that my eyes were watering... it would be this one.

Thanks, much needed.
