Funny Incident Today

Met with a rather large group of relatives and others today for lunch. A woman and her husband directly across the table from my daughter and I were expressing a lot of concern that Obama would be "hard to beat" because they had seen, "on Huckabee," that Obama had thousands of volunteers, a very organized election organization and a lot of campaign funds. And, of course, the "Hollywood left" was lining up to donate and campaign for him. The woman asked me what I thought. I just smiled and told her that I thought that was great because I am 100% for Obama and my daughter is volunteering for him. The look on their faces was priceless! Wish I had taken a camera. Needless, to say, there was an awkward silence and little conversation with them after that!

Oh, these next few months will be very interesting!

My daughter and I stepped outside to smoke a little while after that exchange. We just looked at each other and cracked up laughing. Sometimes you just have to laugh about it.
