Barack Obama may campaign at a NASCAR event [Bring your own arugula....]
LA Times ^

Barack Obama may campaign at a NASCAR event

As Barack Obama continues his focus on states that usually vote Republican in presidential elections, word comes that he may campaign at a NASCAR event. Why? Well, to paraphrase a supposed Willy Sutton line that he robbed banks because that's where the money is, if Obama needs white working-class voters in the fall, there are few better places to find them than at a NASCAR event.Barack_obama_may_campaign_at_a_nasc

Roll Call has the news, but it's behind their subscription wall. Briefly, they quote Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki as saying a campaign appearance was a possibility but no dates or firm confirmations were offered. "We would love to make it to a NASCAR race if the schedule permits," she said.

Obama should give his speech about how we shouldn’t drill for oil.

About as likely to win votes as McLame at an NAACP convention.

I thought the Democrats look at the blue collar riffraffs attending NASCAR as beneath them. Y'know, the pork-rind munching, beer-swilling, gun rack in the back of the pick up truck folks. The God fearing yahoos. What does Obama have in common with them?

It would be hilarious if he actually attempted this. The silence of the crowd would be deafening. On the other hand, booing would be really loud. But, then again, the media would spike any negative outcome.

His uncle may have even raced against Idi Amin's wife, "Suicide Sarah" at the Uganda 500.

Last year, Eliot Spitzer went to Watkins Glen (?) to pull the wool over the eyes of the NASCAR dads there. Bigtime photo op! Spitz told everyone that he has been "a huge NASCAR fan" for over "two decades." Maybe that was the excuse he was using with his wife. LOL!

"Honey! I'll be at the track this weekend with some of the guys!"

Like Hillary Clinton was booed at a rock concert, B. Hussein Obama will likely discover some opposition at the NASCAR events. This is one of the stupidest ideas yet. But what else should we expect from the panderer?

This is an attempt by Osama Obama to show “whtie racism” prior to the election as he and his handlers surely know the reception he would get at a NASCAR event. They want to be able to yell racism with evidence. Him getting booed at what many folks consider to be a “good old boy”, “bubba” event would give them something visual to use as they push their “Republicans are racist” claims throughout the election.

Where to begin.
This is why Politics sucks and has no bearer on real Americans and their lives.
Did Obama ever get within 1000 yards of a Nascar event before he started a Presidential Campaign? Did he even know what a Nascar event was or anyones name before one of his staffers told him?
Not very likely which makes the whole thing just an ugly political event.

I would like him to do it! But as was said earlier his handlers will not let it happen. He may get boos! What would really be a gas is for everyone to bring a Bible and hold it up. No boos just the gesture.

I hope they do and I hope they get booed and hissed so loud they can’t hear themselves think.

Actually, even better -

I hope people bring their Bibles to hold up along with cardboard cut out of guns...just silently hold them up...

Anyone know anyone that could pass this idea on. Cut outs of both Bibles and guns could be passed out to the crowd as they entered.............

A silent but deadly message

Wow...all this time, over two decades, poor Obama was stuck listening to the racist, America hating African tribal ramblings of Wright, while he dreamed of being at the NASCAR track. Too cool.....I mean, he loves NASCAR too, wow!!!

If I decide to love him for this new revelation, will I turn black, and will his racist pals decide to like me? I’m so overwhelmed.

Cut outs of both Bibles and guns could be passed out to the crowd as they entered.............then the crowd could just silently hold them up when he starts to speak. A silent but deadly message

You know what always gets me about that shot? The Hildabeast, for all her faults, will at least (in grudging tones, mind you) salute the flag and talk about periods she considers great in our past. BO (what fitting initials) won't even do that, and there are people who support him.

"Obama should give his speech about how we shouldn’t drill for oil"

LOL. Obama should announce that since the USA represents 5% of the world's population but represents 25% of overall energy use, his policy will be to work to get us down to 5% of the world's energy usage as quickly as possible. Start by eliminating all fuel usage for anything except public transportation and EMS, police, military.

Go for it, Obambi!! Prove that you are a dedicated card-carrying socialist!! [or will you continue to lie and dissemble about your real beliefs?]

Psst, Barry H. Obama here is a NASCAR quiz for you:

1)Who drove #3?

2)Who was the driver of the #6 car, before the current driver?

3)What number did Richard Petty use?

4)Who are the France family?

5)Where is Chicagoland?

6)Who is Wendell Scott?

7)What does Talladega and Daytona have in common?

8)What driver made #88 famous?

9)What nickname did Edward Glenn Roberts go by?

and...

10)What is the closest NASCAR race?

Barry, if you can answer all of them CORRECTLY you can go to NASCAR races and say:

"My family has always been NASCAR fans....in fact my uncle in Kenya raced at Daytona".

One question for you... is that the uncle who liberated Auschwitz? LOL
