Just a little background:

I work in an office that is comprised of some of the most venomous liberal "people" on the planet. The Obama worship here is at a level in which most people could not bear. During the election one other co-worker and I were singled out more than a few times for being as far as they know even moderately conservative ( although im extremely rightwing ) and backed into the corner on political issues at the water cooler and beyond. I stood my ground and all, in a polite reasonable way, but I knew what I was faced with and I have read the art of war more than a few times. It's seriously like working for DU around here...

But today I realized how deep we may be in as a country. The older woman here, the most bleeding hearted of them all starts talking about a pocket sized book of Obama's speeches and quotes. She was asking the other freedom haters how to get a copy, and if they have heard of it.

Well long story short I found out what she was talking about. It was a picture, A SPOOF MIND YOU, of a book containing said speeches etc.

This was the actual picture, she thought it was for real and wanted a copies to distribute. I feel sick...

I have no idea where it even came from, I'm sure it's a photoshop. It's the fact that after reading it she thought it was real ( and still does to my knowledge, I'm not saying shit) and actually wanted to spread the word!

Older woman and single/divorced.

They are the most rabid socialist/facist groups the US has ever known. They are very easily manipulated, and slavishly devoted. The only thing that likes them are cats tho politicians use them at will because of their weaknesses and ability to be easily frightened.

Is there any way you can get that printed into one of the first leading (blank) pages of a book on the life of George W. Bush, or Reagan?



Then you can say, "I found it!!"

Sadly there is probably money to be made if you did print such a book.

You laugh, a lady with her kids came into the store that I work at spouting that crap, even pulling the little BLUE book out of her purse for one of her kids to read while she shopped for the younger ones.
