I happened to be in a Burger King restaurant today when I overheard an interesting conversation. A large black man who looked very blue collar, wearing a Carhartt jacket and work clothes, was talking to another customer about the current state of affairs. Now, I only mention the fact that he is black because it is actually germane to the conversation we had. The gist of his conversation with the other fellow was that the current situation is taking us down the wrong path. He claimed that Obama's policies were the worst type of class warfare, and that he is trying to make everybody poor.

I called over to him and said, "you are right." He then invited me into the conversation and talked about how much money he was losing every day because of Obama. He said he was in business (he appeared to be an independent contractor), and the current policies are killing him. He then said he can't talk to his wife about this (who I can only assume is also black), because she only talks about how great it is that we have our first black president, and he shouldn't be speaking against him. He continued saying that that has nothing to do with the problem - Obama is screwing us all, and it doesn't matter whether Obama's white or black. Obama, he says, will not stop until we all are poor and have to go to the government with our hand out, and the government will dole out prosperity as it sees fit.

As we parted, he started talking to another man who entered and tried to persuade the fellow to his point of view. These people he was addressing appeared to be total strangers, and he was spreading the word: Obama is bad, and we're all in trouble if he continues.

This is a good sign. Here we have a fellow who is not rich - he is a small business owner much like Joe the Plumber. And he is pissed and is doing everything he can to impart his message to others. Let's all follow his example. Spread the word, and the Obama backlash will grow and grow.
