Obama Stops at Beer Tent, Owner Loses $25,000
“Hey everyone who’s over 21, you gotta buy a beer!” Obama said, according to the pool report, as he stopped by the party tent where one person was holding a Romney sign
When asked if he was buying, Obama said, “Let me see what’s in my wallet.”
As the crowd cheered “Four more beers!” the president relented.
“I’ll tell you what, except for Romney sign, I’ll buy beers for ten people,” he said.
--------------------------
On the other hand, the small business owner side of Cunningham fumes that the president “put a damper on what I’m trying to do here.” His Bud Tent was shut down at the most lucrative time of day, with a popular rock cover band, Hairball, about to perform at the Susan B. Knapp Amphitheater next door with legions of thirsty fans.
“I was in a position to make a campaign donation against my will,” said Cunningham, a Republican.
…
Cunningham said that the more accurate figure for what he probably lost in sales Monday night is $25,000. He appreciated that fellow fair vendor Barksdale allowed him to set up a Bud beer station near the amphitheater stage and recoup some dollars from the Hairball fans.
Other vendors along the Grand Concourse seemed to enjoy business as usual.

I guess the Virginia bakery shop owner didn't want to take a chance that it might happen to him. He denied Biden's request to make his shop a campaign stop. Smart guy.

Did you read the very end of the story where after they all left the Secret Service came in and said, "Thanks for standing up and saying 'No'" and then they bought a big pile of stuff.
The guardians don't even like these smacked asses.

I wonder if they'd ship to Iowa? I could take their product, head up Hwy 60, and do a drive-by donuting. ;D

Maybe we could figure out something to pop a few down the gullet of the FLOTUS and watch the seams split on a sequin dress on live television.. (Requires imagination..)

That thought is disgusting enough for one of Red's posts.

A few days ago.
Wasn't something about "I did build this, Romney/Ryan 2012" ;D
Obama was in NH Sat, Some one found out his route and it was lined with signs at every business saying the same thing.
Won't hear about that in the press. ;D
