Reagan & Obama...WHAT?

Tonight, on date night, Keith and I were at Barnes and Noble.  We perused the entire store, seriously, children's books to geriatric lifestyle!  I thought we'd seen it all and we were leaving when I spotted it...

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw...
THIS!

Anyone who's still conscious, read on!  If you need a minute to collect yourselves, I understand!

This blasphemous photograph was lining the checkout lane at B&N!  Now, I know Time isn't exactly known for their fair media approach but this goes WAY beyond their usual stunts!  They have stooped too low!

I looked at Keith and in a shrill voice, while still trying to keep it leveled, so as not to attract the attention of liberals who frequent bookstores.  (I don't know, don't judge me, it's just this opinion I have!  Bookstores=Liberals, Libraries=Conservatives)  Anyway, I said "Oh no, I just threw up in my mouth a little...do you see this crap?!?  What the heck is THAT?  Who does HE think he is tarnishing Reagan's good name for a publicity stunt!  Reagan is ROLLING in his grave!  If Obama thinks he's going to woo republicans by shaking hands with Ronnie (we know he's dead!), he's crazier than we thought!  All he's doing now is PISSING US OFF!  Get me out of here before I insight a riot!"

All the way to the car, Keith was still chattering about why I should get something other than a nook or a kindle, I don't know, I wasn't listening.  I just continued to voice my outrage!  Then, like it matters, Keith says "you didn't even read the article"  Like I give a flying you know what about the article!  However, I had an idea what it was based on and I gave Keith the quick synopsis..."it's probably because Obama carried a Reagan biography around over Christmas in an effort to woo the republicans, unfortunately for him we aren't as easily persuaded as his followers!

Then, Keith apparently lost his mind!  As we sat at the stop light, he has the audacity to say "well, by the time he's rounding out his second term..." seriously, I blacked out for a minute, but when I came back around he was babbling on in words I didn't understand, about Obama being young enough for two terms or even for two separate presidencies at which point I said "you hear this Elizabeth?  It's the big one!  I'm coming home!"  While Keith laughed hysterically!  I just don't know this man anymore, he is NOT the stick in the mud I married! 

I looked this stranger in the eyes and said "there will be a blog about this and I'm going to expose you for the liberal traitor you are!"  Case in point, don't Obama with me! 

PS  I want to share THIS superfly article about all the WRONGS of this magazine cover!

No Thank You!

I have strong opinions but I really don't think I know everything.  I think it's okay that I'm opinionated and I have strong feelings about politics.  I do wonder sometimes, when life has given me a little more experience if I'll still feel the same ways.  Maybe one day I'll just wake up and be a card carrying liberal Obama supporter...nah!

Now that I've stopped laughing, hysterically, at my own joke I'll finish!

I opened my blog the other day to show Keith a picture of my speeding ticket fiasco that I had posted.  When I opened it there was a picture of Obama on my advertisements column.  Often times I get these ads to "repeal Obama"  I've never clicked them because it seems a little silly to me.  However, on this day the ad said "RE ELECT OBAMA!" 

"WHAT THE..."  I said to Keith while he laughed hysterically at my disdain!  "I will take these google ads off of my page!  It is SO NOT worth the whole ten cents I've earned in my three months of blogging!  HOW IN THE HECK DID THIS HAPPEN?!?  Don't they even READ the content before they slap this crap on my blog?  Have I misrepresented myself some how?"

All, while Keith is still laughing!  Then he says, "It's probably Greg's fault!"  He was referring to the comments on my previous blog post, I'm Really NOT A Jerk.  Now, I'm all for blaming Greg for anything (he IS a liberal, after all!) but I re read his comments and I STILL don't get it!

Then, today, I got a text from Shawn where she said  "I get a lot of junk mail, guess which one made me lol and scream HELL NO!" 

She included a screen shot from her iPhone

If you think I have strong conservative opinions, you should meet Shawn!  Apparently whoever is running the Obama re election campaign is trying to bamboozle us into submission!
