A restaurant in town that is really hurting for business had one of these stuck on the cash register
I had been going there a lot lately because I know the owners business has been way down and I was trying to help him out as much as possible. This restaurant will never get any more of my business I don't care if he closes up.

The Obama Three Dollar Bill

It somehow "mysteriously" appeared at a GOP fundraising booth during a state fair.

1. Did you tell the owner that you would not be coming there anymore?

6. Please send a postcard and let him know.
These people must know the consequences of their idiocy. If you don't, you're participating in their willful ignorance. It's our duty to inform fellow citizens when they're behaving like assholes.

12. Hell I'd do one better - I'd write a letter to the editor
Clearly this restaurant owner has no concern about actually turning his business around. If he did he'd be supporting Obama.

5. I was at a restaurant that had the "drill here drill now" slogan taped
to his cash register, I showed my husband, we ate and left as soon as possible, not ever going back. :puke: :puke: :puke:

7. I would've made sure they knew why.
How stupid for such a business to put something like that up (against McCain or Obama).

9. I hope you waited until *after* you finished your food to let them know how you felt..
Someone who would put that kind of thing out for the public to see wouldn't think twice about doing something nasty to your food.

17. The poor guy must think he is being very patriotic.
Does he have a patriotic name for his restaurant?

And google came up with 10 restaurants, although I usually don't think of the Dairy Queen as one.

14. Back in the "day", I wouldn't even eat at any restaurants
that served "freedom fries". If I saw them on the menu, I got up and left, never to return. Yes, I am that adamant.

16. I remember 3-4 of these circulating with both the Clintons on it.
I don't remember what the "serial numbers" said on them, but I do remember I was appalled 1) that my FIL showed them to me, and 2) that he thought they were funny, and 3) he thought I would think they were funny. I remember they were really really crass, locker room humor kind of stuff. Disgusting.
