What do you all think??? Sounds real
http://www.alfrankenweb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=42025I was out scrounging scrap metal today, to get enough food money to last us through the weekend.
I came home and Miss Johnnie, my landlady, was crying and showing me a table full of food.
I thought one of our friends or my relatives had come over and bought for us.
But it was bought, according to the lady who owns the restaurant, by Barack Obama over the phone.
After the Obama Campaign Workers came to the door, and were listening to Miss Johnnie describe why she, a registered republican, was voting for Obama.
She showed a picture of her daughter Michelle the Marine who had been deployed to Iraq twice, and is still pending discharge because of the Stop Loss.
All her kids in fact.
And her late husband, who had died of Agent Orange from his service in VietNam.
About that time the campaign workers started making phone calls and she got to talk to Obama.
She was in tears while telling me all this so I got the story wrong at first.
She talked about the War, about the health care bill that got turned down because it was "too expensive" but the Rich Thieves got to take 16 times as much just because they had broken the economy with their wild schemes.
About the VA messing around with the repayment of the medical expenses she had borne by herself over the 12 years since her husband died, over nitpicky paperwork errors on Their Part.
About me being out against doctor's orders scrounging scrap metal just to make it through til monday.
One of the volunteers was a Marine and a Nam Vet, so much for the notion that Veterans are all voting for McCain, (despite his continued votes to screw the veterans the same way the VA is messing up Miss Johnnie's paperwork and payments)
Miss Johnnie, understandably, doesn't talk without a great deal of emotion on those subjects.
So after the Volunteers left, about 20 minutes later a very large order of Chinese food charged to Obama came to the door.
The Delivery man is a recent immigrant and doesn't speak English, so he called his boss, who confirmed it but said it was supposed to be a surprise.
Enough food to last until Monday.
I came in with this really pitiful half gallon of milk and about a meal worth of food and some cat food.. and she was crying and showing me all the food.
And said that Obama had bought it for us.
I didn't get the story quite right the first time, so I thought he had been there in person.
Not quite, but you know how in the Churches people say "I'll be there in spirit"?
He was there in a way that really counts.
McCain has a fake falsified made-up "Joe the Plumber" who turns out to be a white-collar person named Sam and not even a plumber...
Obama now has Miss Johnnie the Viet-Nam Widow and a Real Joe the Ex-Roofer with Busted Feet.
That's why Obama wins.
He's Real, his concern for the people is Real, and the people who supporting him, WE'RE real too.
