MAN TELLS OBAMA HIS BUSINESS HAS BEEN GOING ‘TERRIBLE SINCE YOU GOT HERE’
An Ohio market vendor told President Barack Obama on Friday that his business has been going “terrible” since the president’s arrival, according to media reports.
Obama was greeting different vendors at Cleveland’s West Side Market when he came upon the proprietor of Rolston Poultry.
According to the White House pool report, Obama asked the man how business was going.
“Terrible since you got here,” he replied.
Reporters were unable to get close enough to ask the man his political affiliation. According to the report, Obama “didn’t appear amused by the sentiment” and the Cleveland Plain Dealer said he “quickly shifted direction to another stand” after the encounter.
The Plain Dealer noted that the man had appeared annoyed prior to speaking with the president and “grumbled” as reporters commented about his chicken display.
“Take one home with you,” he said, according to the newspaper. “I haven’t sold anything in 40 minutes.”
SNIP: “Terrible since you got here,” he replied.
40 minutes, 4 years… Same difference.

He should team up with the beer vendor at the state fair (I can’t remember which one). He had the same story, he just didn’t tell the President to his face. Do you think this guy still exists?

He should have touched the hem of Teh One’s suit to get absolution for being so racist.
Or is that just the word according to the MSM?

@Hybrid Lemon — I saw a piece at Ace of Spades yesterday on the absentee ballot data. At least two counties report a 27 pt spread (reversal on the Ds) and several others in the 20′s. The county changes range from encouraging to stunning.
“The statewide reported gap is D+5.51%, nearly a third of what the Democrats had enjoyed in 2008.”

From above: “According to the report, Obama “didn’t appear amused by the sentiment””
So this is our role now? To amuse the ruler? Phuck that!
I have a more contentious relationship with my doctor. And guess what? He knows he has to up his doctor game around me. And he does.At least he knows how to deal with a customer who can read and bothers to educate himself about things that affect him directly.
Our elected elite depend on the exact opposite.

I can confirm. It was soft when he took office, and he killed it after he got in. R/R 2012.
