| 59. I want a President who can at least figure out how to obtain |
|
a cup of coffee in a service station! I don't care how you slice it, this is absurd! Some may say, well with the pressure of being in front of the cameras and all... YOU DON'T THINK THE CAMERA'S WILL BE ON IF A DISASTER HAPPENS?? Yes, I want one who can take the pressure. I also want a President who doesn't try to slander someone as an elitist when they are obviously more elite.
I guess if I was as wealthy as her and if I had all the Secret Service, I wouldn't be pumping gas either... BUT I sure as hell wouldn't be painting my opponent as being out of touch! She is totally out of touch! I remember hearing part of her speech in Ohio when she was describing a conversation with someone going through foreclosure... it was almost as if this was the very first time she had EVER talked to anyone in that situation... The guy that has worked on the ground with his head under the clouds as a community organizer when Chicago people were losing their ass because of NAFTA is totally in touch with America and has this vote!
Yes, a commercial should be made on this one... good stuff...
