Keeping it REAL....The Mall of America Edition..


Im in Minneapolis to look for housing and to do some training with my new employer. Tonight I had the hotel shuttle take me over to the Mall of America for dinner and a little sightseeing.

I was sitting down on a bench in the middle of the walkway when a husband and wife stopped in front of me to put the credit card away. The both had 5 inch buttons that said "I Dont Want Obama Listening to My Heart" I spoke up and asked them what the button meant and they went into a two minute blabber about how Obama is socializing the country and once health care is passed we will lose our democracy.

So I asked them for the conservatives plan to be able to provide some sort of affordable health care and of course they started back on how bad Obama was and is a socialist. Ask them who decides what medical procedures are approved when they are sick....back to Obama Bash...Said Why do you believe it is it ok for an insurance bureaucrat to decide who lives and who is covered......more Obama bash.....


And then said why cant those who with like minds to you go to congressional town hall meeting and be civil and not disruptive and bring solutions instead.....more Obama bash.....I told them you need a good surgeon to blow dry your wet brain cause you to are incapable of hearing the real issues being debated and then closed by saying if they need to use Medicare ever that they will be reduced in the discussion to HYPOCRITES.
