The Wheels of Change go ’round and ’round
Rumor has it Obama’s campaign is in talks to sponsor a car at this years Pocono race. Two things bug me: first I have a very hard time believing Obama has ever watched a NASCAR race (after all I don’t think they serve his brand of Pinot at too many tracks these days). Secondly, didn’t he just call these same people “bitter” just a few months back to all his elitist friends? Does he really think he can buy off working class america with a logo splashed across the Sprint car? I think the Obama team is spinning there wheels on this one (bad pun intended).

I don’t think there is such a thing as a brand of Pinot, hence its absence. However, many different wineries offer that varietal in different vintages with an array of provenances
I am from Daytona Beach, and I find it offensive that you don’t think Nascar fans can and do appreciate wine, sometimes at these very events.
If you remembered clearly, you would know that Barack Obama said nothing of Nascar fans. He said something about small town people who are living in places where there are no jobs and have been no jobs for many years. Are you trying to say that Nascar fans and the unemployed are one and the same group?
You attempt to deride Obama and say he thinks working class America is a bunch of hicks. All you made clear is that you think the Republicans own the hicks. While you refer to an out of context quote that sounds bad when read correctly, you spout something that requires no obfuscation to prove it’s moral paucity.

I can’t figure out if your point is you are a snob, or that Obama is not.
