First he needs to run a commercial of that bastard saying that in all 50 states, from now until Nov.

Second Obama needs to seek out a "lazy union worker", one that has lost his job, preferably one from a state like Ohio, to offer pick the lettuce and then tell John McCain to put up or shut up. Most people would give their eye teeth to work for half that.

I used to work on a tempered glass gas hearth... right next to temps over 1200 degrees. I've still got scars where I got galded from sweat under my boobs, and a few of the tiny scars where bits of glass got in my clothes from a blow up in the quench are still there...

That motherfucker has no idea what it is like for people who work for a living, and that needs to be driven home.

1. It is absolutely time to go in for the kill.
Go for the jugular the next 7 days!!!

The day that McCombover announces his VP, Obama ought to stand in a lettuce patch with his new VP pick and SLAM McCain to the wall!!

10 houses, $50 lettuce picking, $5million to be middle class, Czechoslovakia, Sunni/Shia confusion, be in Iraq 100 years, a thirty year Congressional record, flip flopping, Keating 5, "I don't know much about the economy". There is so much to nail him on. My goodness it's time to put this thing away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5. Could there be a lettuce picking event, with a lottery where the lucky picker gets $50/hr?
Just an idea.
