Yes, it is true. Obama unveils job plan for bitter rural people! Read about it here. http://www.scrappleface.com/?p=2940 Yes, it is true. Sometimes it is hard to tell the satire from real life. Be sure to check out the links in satire piece. They are to the actual stories that inspired the satire. So, what do you think? Could this satire be mistaken for the actual story? Any other thoughts? About Obama? About the campaign? Whatever?

In my opinion it IS the actual story, revealing the attitudes BEHIND the facts of what was actually said in his speeches and what was actually done. The link on distractions was the best ever. I didn't realize how many distractions he has actually cited as his answers to pointed questions in which he'd be required to take a stand on something. There's a reason Chicago is called the windy city.

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

Of course he appeals to bitter people. He's nothing but a bitter racist himself.

Yes, I sense that, too. I particularily was galled when his wife complained concerning how she and her husband have been treated in America! Ah... they both had jobs paying in the the hundreds of thousands of dollars per year and he's got a real chance to be President. Give me break. This is supposed to be an oppressed couple? Wow!

Lovely piece of satire. As for the real story, I don't think Senator Obama has a clue about what working folks think or want. It's a pity, really. He's evidently read a lot of biographies and been able to use the words of others to his advantage, but he doesn't know what they really mean. I think he's all talk myself. However, I do think Senator Clinton understands working folks just fine and I will be voting for her here in North Carolina on May 6. I've read that she doesn't have a chance in NC, but you never know. NC is a screwy place anyway...we usually elect a Democrat for Governor and then fill the House and Senate with Republicans. I don't think most of NC know how our government works anyway. I'm just guessing that McCain will win NC. God help us all. lol

You know...it isn't his comment about bitterness that gets me. I think it may be a bit blatant but true. Out here in "sunny socal" many of us are bitter as well since the loss of aerospace and related technologies out here (heck - we even had a Ford and a GM plant out here back yonder). Income/career opportunities just aren't as plentiful. So Barrack's comment is accepted here. The idea of making "government" jobs is typical, weak and somewhat limited, but like he said, until the mills become casinos or something productive, there isn't much to look forward to in terms of economic revival. So for now, a palatable solution. Problem is we all know what happens with gov. jobs once they've outlived the usefulness and that is a problem. BUT WHAT BURNS MY BRITCHES IS THE HOUSING FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS????!!! Let me get this straight. You want to become president of the United States of America and then take tax-payer dollars and build nice living quarters for ILLEGAL immigrants? What is it about American law that you dislike, Mr. candidate? It is this retarded stance on immigration that the dems have that makes neither candidate worth horse-apple! I get more and more enraged when I see that our "leaders" have no regard for the American way. Worse yet, I see no candidate that has an America first attitude. This isn't satire. This is sick humor.
