Random Encounters

I was at the Ford dealer's customer lounge yesterday morning waiting for my car and of course CNN was on. And of course the CNN head was talking about The One's Peace Prize and how his Oneness was going to fix the economy, battle for health care reform and make it possible for us all to live on milk and honey and not have nasty old jobs. A lady sitting next to me was taking in every word. And I started to notice. She was rolling her eyes, huffing and puffing like she was going to blow down the house. Every once in a while I heard her mutter - "Idiot - Fool - Damfool ideas - Idiot".

I meet a lot of people every day in this job and everyone wants to talk. I just sit and listen and I'm seeing more every day that this lady's reaction is widespread in Austin Texas. If he's losing Austin, maybe there's hope yet.

  1. But the problem remains, lack of media attention on such reactions. As long as CNN, MSNBC and FOX only report the good, the bad will get overlooked and even forgotten.

  2. John,

    Obama may or may not be able to change the world but this invention has a good chance of doing so. Have a look at this video.
