Labor Day cookout with Republicans today. [View all]

Used to bite my tongue and grin and bear it at these things. Came out loud and proud for Obama 2012 today! These people are so brainwashed by Faux News and hate radio it is unbelievable! I'm sure I didn't change any minds but I came armed with the facts and figures and left them speechless. Felt absolutely great to speak up on behalf of the President today. Cousin's college-age daughter asked me if I could get her a bumper sticker or button and I gave her both. I could tell her parents were pissed. Told them to get used to it. OBAMA 2012! We can do this!
