What did Obama say to Trader Joey yesterday?
I wish I could have been a fly on the wall or could see a video.

Please tell me that it was recorded in some fashion.

Go Obama!

Sock it to Trader Joey!

Ding, Ding, Ding.... Round #1 for Obama :woohoo:

I'd love to know what they were!

6. I'm guessing Trader Joey = TRAITOR Joe Lieberman....
...although when I hear "Trader Joe" I automatically think of this:

12. That's where my mind went, too.
I live in Portland though, where TJ's is often considered "just another soul-less corporation", and folks go out of their way to avoid it. Example conversation:

A: "I got some great organic arugula at Trader Joes the other day!"
B: "But it wasn't free range arugula, and it exploited migrant labor... maybe try Whole Foods or New Seasons or a farmer's market for arugula that doesn't leave your salad spoiled with guilt and shame?!"

I love living here, but the politics of shopping can be a tad... harsh. ;)

On a related note, would sending a carton of organic, sustainable, local labor, broccoli to the bush family be considered cruel right now?

16. No, but pretzels might.
It's Bush senior that wouldn't eat the broccoli, right?

20. Joey will probably run with McCain
He must be with him every minute so he can whisper the answers in Gramps ear.

7. I wish I knew.
On another very pro Hillary board there were all kinds of posts whining about how Obama had cornered poor Lieberman and used his size to intimidate him. Made Obama seem like a real thug and Lieberman a poor victim.

Someone needed to call out Lieberman on his crap. It's about time IMHO.

9. That's why I loved it so much


Trader Joey has been getting away with betraying his party and nothing ever happens to set him straight.

Obama Drama set him straight yesterday and did it so that we knew he was giving Trader Joey a "talking to."

What did Joey's face look like?

:woohoo:
