From a pool report....Get Obama the socialist out of here!

Despite a morning of good news for Obama, he experienced what pool reports described as ?some powerful and at times ugly? interaction of the sort that appears to have alienated Colin Powell from the Republican Party during a visit to Cape Fear BBQ and Chicken in Fayetteville, N.C., a traditionally Republican area.

Some applauded as Obama entered the diner, but Diane Fanning, 54, began yelling ?Socialist, socialist, socialist ? get out of here!, ? a pool report said.

Fanning said she had heard Powell endorsed Obama, calling him ?a RINO, R-I-N-O, Republican In Name Only.?

"I still think he's a closet Muslim," Fanning said of Obama.

Seriously, where do these people come from? And don't they realize what W. has just done to the banking institutions in America? But yes, the Dems are the "socialists."

Re: From a pool report....Get Obama the socialist out of here!

  • Same woman, different article:

    Later, Obama came to the long table where Fanning and other members of a local First Presbyterian church were gathered. He held out his hand to her and asked, ?How are you, ma?am?? but she declined to shake his hand.

  • Unfortunately, stories like these are only going to increase in the next couple weeks. It only makes me hope that Obama wins more than I already do.  At least he won over some of the people at the restaurant Smile.

  • I had a friend call himself "rino" but I didn't know what it meant. Does it mean like, a Dem who calls themselves a Rep? Like all their stances are moderate/liberal but they cling to the Rep name for some reason??

     

     

  • You all should be happy to know that on the military newlyweds board, someone was calling Obama a socialist, and another responded by copying an E08 post about it, not just saying Obama isn't, but that McCain's and Bush's policies are at least as "socialist" as Obama's.  It cheered me slightly after I was so depressed at the moranic response initially.
