A story of a freindly quiet far right small business owner [View all]

The right has lost their mind. My wife and I frequent a small bar/restaurant locally. They have good food, and most of the time excellent service. We were there many days a week. In a months time, I would imagine we spent 500-600. We had become good friends with the owner until he indicated that he supports the far right. He thinks Obama has screwed him and all small businesses across the land. Nothing to support his reasoning, he just hates Obama. And with Obamacare becoming a reality, he really went off. After a few drinks, we started talking about Rmoney and his inability to show the past 10 years of taxes. My question was "Why wont he show his taxes?" He him hawed around the question for 1/2 hour, trying to change the subject. I put down one more long island tea, and kept asking him the same question. Finally, at the top of his voice, in a room full of patrons, he said "I don't give a fuck. Anyone but Obama." People were looking at him in awe. I was shocked. He finally left the table, and were never going to go there again. I don't support hateful assholes like him, so I'll hit him in his pocketbook. I'm sure he'll blame Obama for that too, since his income will go down.
