I guess I should share the story of how the Obama administration threatened me too.

We were both going for the same table at Applebees and someone in a nice suit and tie came over and said "Look you'd better tell the hostess that you'll let us go first." I gulped and nodded, but then when the Hostess came I said "Screw that -Obama's not the king of me." And I took the table.

Nothing really happened as it turned out. Now that I think of it, it might have been a dream; but I still feel traumatized.

Even if it was a dream, they had no right to give you a nightmarish experience like that.

I am recovering, but it's a long, painful process.
Thank you in advance for your "get well wishes".

I was told to stay in my car, but I went and got the Obama magnet off the back of my car and held it up as he passed. I really got chewed out by the traffic cop for doing that. I posted here about it at the time-so I am not making this up. I haven't thought much about it since, but someday I may want to sell a book....

from the Obama campaign? I mean, Michelle, Barack, Joe Biden...even MAYA ANGELOU was shaking me down for money. I couldn't sleep at night, I was locking my doors, checking my tires....
