Inside the packed bar, the guys and gals were gathering for the Big Game to start. Before the game, however, there was an hour for political talk time. Their eyes widened in amazement when they saw Barack, bounding through the doorway with his secret service detail.
The bar had a big pit, with a huge crackling fireplace, where the patrons have their regular give and take. Obama was ready for some of that.
He started: 鈥淚 stand for change. They said we set our sights too high in Iowa. They said now is not the time. I proved the cynics wrong in corn country and I鈥檒l prove them wrong in the granite state. To show you I mean it, no speech, go at me. Our time for change has come.鈥?br>
Guy number one鈥斺€淥k, Barack, you鈥檙e going for the power in the Big House, the big companies already have the power, how ya gonna make us little people powerful?鈥?br>
Obama鈥斺€淪tay tuned. One leap at a time. We are one people. Get me there first.鈥?br>
Gal number one鈥斺€淵ou say, CHANGE, well how are you going to cut the bloated military budget full of vast waste, fraud and abuse, when you鈥檝e specifically said you鈥檒l 鈥榚xpand and modernize the military?鈥?Why, it鈥檚 already half or more of the government鈥檚 operating budget, squeezing programs for children, health and all that. I鈥檓 an accountant and I know numbers.鈥?br>
Obama鈥斺€淓xactly. Our time for change has come. I鈥檓 going to change the old weapons with new weapons and the old soldiers with the new soldiers. That鈥檚 real change鈥攁t the grass roots.鈥?br>
Guy number two鈥斺€淵ou don鈥檛 seem to have any rough edges, Barack.鈥?br>
Obama鈥斺€淚t鈥檚 all about the mood, dude.鈥?br>
The crowd was getting agitated and the questions came faster and faster.
鈥淲hy are you for nuclear power with taxpayer guarantees?鈥?br>
鈥淲ill you oppose Congress getting pay raises, pensions and health insurance until the American people get the same?鈥?br>
鈥淒o you favor repealing the anti-union nightmare鈥攖he Taft-Hartley Act of 1947?鈥?br>
鈥淗ow can you talk about change and take gobs of campaign money from the big corporate lawyers and bosses?鈥?br>
Obama, smiling: 鈥淚t鈥檚 ALL about the mood, dudes. All the rest are details you can look up on my website鈥攐bama_is_us.org. We are choosing hope over fear.鈥?br>
Gal number two鈥斺€淥k, answer this one that probably isn鈥檛 on your website. When are you going to meet with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and campaign in the black ghettos鈥攕ay Harlem or Watts?鈥?br>
Obama鈥斺€淲hoaa, give that tough lady a Poli-beer on me! We are one nation.鈥?br>
Guy number three (with an Obama face mask)鈥斺€淚鈥檓 the old Obama, remember me? I was for single-payer, full medicare for everyone. I was strongly for Palestinian rights and for replacing NAFTA and WTO, not for tweaking them. I was for taxing the super-rich and defending class actions. I was for capping credit-card and loan shark interest rates. What happened to me?鈥?br>
Obama鈥斺€淲ell, didn鈥檛 I tell you that I stand for CHANGE?鈥?br>
Gal number three鈥斺€淵ou seem to be for everyone, but not everyone is for everyone. Some are against everyone. Tell me, are the big corporations, the greedy defense contractors, drug, oil and insurance companies, starting to quake in their boots at the thought that you are now the front-runner?鈥?br>
Obama, lifting his chin鈥斺€淲ell, Ma鈥檃m, we haven鈥檛 ordered our seismometer yet.鈥?br>
Oooohs and boos float around the pit. A few start drifting away.
Guy number four鈥斺€淵ou鈥檙e one of those smart Haavard lawyers, Barack. You were a constitutional law teacher. You were against the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq. So, why aren鈥檛 you putting two and two together鈥攊mpeachment of the war criminals in the White House followed by conviction in the Senate?鈥?br>
Obama鈥斺€淵ou don鈥檛 understand (testily), impeachment talk is just more of the same old Washington politics. I stand for change. No need to point fingers. We are one people.鈥?br>
Gal number four鈥斺€淗ello, Barack. I鈥檓 Hermaphrodite and I luv your blended politics of harmony.鈥?br>
Obama鈥斺€淕reat! Then how about a quick dance around the bar before we have to leave,鈥?he said, humming to the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic鈥斺€淲e are choosing unity over division, we鈥檙e sending a powerful message, that change is a coming to America, it is all about the mood, dude鈥︹€?br>What do all you Obama Supporters think of Ralphs comments on him??

We don%26#039;t. Ralph is as entitled to His long-winded Opinions, as WE are- to Ignore Him. In truth, Ralph has nothing to say... :)

This is pure crap it is not a question and I think you had better get a life by the way I can%26#039;t stand Obama and if he wins I will be moving out of the country until his term is done and then come back if there is still a country to come back to
What do all you Obama Supporters think of Ralphs comments on him??
I haven%26#039;t heard his comments. Your details don%26#039;t include his comments. The %26quot;joke%26quot; is dry.

Ralph is the best when the outher choices are to vote for worse or worser
