A little tale for your bemusement. My husband works wtih a small group of good ole boys. He's the only Dem in the bunch. This bunch--to a man--voted for * twice. They sit around and piss and moan about how hard their lives are but never associate their economic problems with the policies of the past eight years. A couple of these vote the way their father or wife tells them to vote. Not a whole lot of critical thinking in that bunch. Well, back before the caucus, they figured out that hubby supported Obama and proceeded with dissing Obama at every turn, using the standard RW spin garbage and telling jokes about him. Hubby gets his share of sideswipes during these shop stink tank sessions. A couple of them were Guiliani guys, one for Huckabee, and the other three for McCain but griping all the way.
Anyway, at break time they all gather in the lounge and watch a little news. Today, their breaktime coincided with Obama's smackdown of Bush-McCain foreign policy. Hubby said they all got really quiet, the grins disappeared from their faces, and the jibes ceased. Hubby said he was grinning from ear to ear. Breaktime ended early and those guys were tripping over themselves to go back to the jobsite and they actually worked.
We chose the right person for the job.
