"I'm Barack Obama, and I approve this message: Trick or Treat!"

[lady raven]

That was the line my son used last night trick or treating. We got a late start and only went to 3 houses. One person loved his costume so much, she gave him ALL her candy, half filling his bag.

We went to Walmart (Sorry, but that's all we really have here) afterward to pick up a few essentials, and with the exception of one ignorant teenage girl who gave him the finger (which he doesn't understand), he got a HUGE positive response- LOTS of great comments. In the largest town in the reddest county of what is one of the 3 or 4 reddest states.

Here are Senator Obama and his secret service detail with my hubby's stepmom in the background:

9. Someone gave him the finger?

Good grief, these people are insane.

Did you hear about the lady in Michigan who refused to give candy to Obama supporters or their children?

Great costumes!! I would have given them all my candy too. :)

12. Yeah, some dumb teenage girl who didn't even know what he was until he told her.
