facts about Elkhart, Indiana...

...

It voted for Palin/McCain by a large margin.

At 15.3% unemployment, it has the highest unemployment rate in the U.S. right now, voted Republican for the past 8yrs. Hard for me to feel sorry for... well... people who repeatedly vote against their own interests, but that's just me.

No different than the folks in DC voting for drug dealer Marion Barry years ago. Drug-dealer Marion Barry. Totally inept gw bush. Huge difference, right? One a city mayor. Another -- leader of the Free World® for eight years. I digress.

President Obama visited Elkhart today. He's unafraid of going to where he's not liked. Only two weeks in and we can already say that, unlike the so-called great uniter, he's visited the ohter side, had drinks with the other side, invited to the other side (and been shot down more than once -- how they've set themselves up!)

The town-hall so-called "mid-America" crowd, unlike every bush crowd for the past eight years, was not--I say NOT--screened to allow entry only to party favorites. Insecure former cheerleaders don't impress me.

During bush's regime, tickets went to first come - first served. Truth, not the bush/cheney brand, has nothing and no one to fear. It can/does stand on its own.

President Obama took questions from folks that didn't vote for him.

No fear. Basic honesty.

Get used to it.
