Went to see Barack Obama today in Kansas City

[givemebackmycountry]

In the downtown Kansas City Marriott - enthusiastic crowd of about 1100-1300.
Lot's of kids, lot's of friendly people, lot's of smiling.
I'm not sure I'm 100% on board with Obama, I don't like some of the things he's voted for and some of the things I've heard him say.

I do know this.

He's an excellent speaker, and he can hold a stage and get his message across.
He's smart and he's calculating and he's better than anything the Republicans have to offer.
AND, he ain't BUSH.

Here's some pics -




Here's a couple of my boys getting all involved in the political process.


George Bush wants to write a similar book called: "The audacity of a dope"



"Ma! Why I got to wear this stupid hat?"




Check out the hat on the pink flip-flops.


Advertising for Skinner and hanging with my boys.


Something for the Mom's on the eve of her big day. Happy Mother's Day Mom's!



Can you believe this idiot is actually our President?

Had a good time - hope you enjoyed the pictures.
