Radio host Bob Grant thought that Barack Obama had created his own "O" flag that was an American flag with a big O on it. After getting all worked up on his radio show and having all sorts of opinionated-but-not-educated callers call in and b!tch about it, it is pointed out that it is fact the OHIO STATE FLAG. You idiot.
(Actually, it was Clint's girlfriend Michelle Malkin that pointed that out.)
Radio host Bob Grant asserted that Sen. Barack Obama "is not content with just having several American flags, plain old American flags with the 50 states represented by 50 stars[.] He has the 'O' flag." However, the flag to which Grant apparently referred was actually the Ohio state flag.
I'm so ready for this election to be over. I'm so sick of having to respond to peoples' false claims about Obama. (And no, just ignoring them is not an option for me.) It is so simple to just RESEARCH things before you pass it on in a forward. But, people would rather spread the plague of misinformation than do a quick Google search.
Ok, I'm done ranting about this now!!

Genius!
This morning when I got to the Gary Metro Center to catch the South Shore train, there was a cute old white dude in an Obama hat that said "Good morning ma'am, are you registered to vote?" I said "I sure am!"
Now, the Gary Metro Center is a genius place to try and sign up voters for Obama. First of all, anyone that knows Gary, IN, knows that it is predominantly a black community. (Not that all black people vote for Obama.) Not to make any generalizations, but I am guessing quite a few of the people around that area are not registered to vote. Plus, it is just a high traffic area in general. I hope he gets some people signed up and on the Obama bandwagon!
...However, he may have to come back in November and make sure everyone votes too!!! Registering is only half the battle.
This barn is in in Elkhart, IN. There are a handful of barns across Indiana and Ohio that are now Obama Barns. I think they're adorable! This one happens to be a friend of a friend's dad's barn in the picture. I saw an interview with him and he said that he made sure the paint will last for 8 years!

How to...
How does Barack Obama win over those "hard-working" uneducated white voters that Hillary had such a stronghold on?
Presidential candidate Obama to sponsor Cup car at Pocono race
I'm not sure it will work, but his head is definitely in the right place.
The sport has typically shown itself to be a Republican stronghold, a trend two-time champ Jimmie Johnson recently alluded to when he said he believed John McCain was the candidate of choice for most NASCAR fans this year.

These are the people that still think Obama is a Muslim...
They're called West Virginians.
My favorite parts of this:
* The black woman that called everyone a bunch of rednecks.
* The old woman that said she isn't prejudice but she won't vote for him because he's black.
* The woman that said he wasn't from America. Um, does she know that is one of the requirements to be President? She then also said he is Muslim. She's a smart one.

Obama is not a Muslim people!
First off, I want to say that I am NOT an Obama supporter. I'm not yet sure who I will vote for in 2008 or even which party I will vote for. Nor do I know who I want on the ballot. However, I am SO sick of getting these prejudice emails about Obama. I am guessing that most of you have seen a forward like the one below:
"We all do know he is from the country of which the Bible tells us the Anti-Christ will rise from. So think about this, and pray a lot.Who is Barack Obama?" Um, Obama is from the US. "We checked this out on "snopes.com". It is factual. Check for yourself." You clearly didn't check this out on Snopes.com or else you would know this is crap. "Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel , Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHIEST from Wichita, Kansas." His mom wasn't even an Atheist. She just didn't go to church. I believe Agnostic is more the term. "Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim." That is because he isn't. "He is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school."" He never was a Muslim OR a Catholic. "ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran." This is actually a different politician, Keith Ellison.
For some reason these emails just get me so fired up and annoyed. First off because of the utter lack of research these people clearly do. They get a forward, get all jacked up on fear and forward it on. If this is how you do your research on who to vote for, your voting rights should be revoked.
They also point out that his middle name is Hussein. "Oh no, that must mean that he will be just like Saddam Hussein. Eek!" Well, my husband's name is Lee, does that mean he is going to be like Lee Harvey Oswald? NO!
Ok, I am done ranting.
