AND GET YOUR DANG UNICORN OFF MY LAWN... (SELF-REFERENCE ALERT):

Bay State liberals shun Barack Obama’s visit (Edward Mason and Hillary Chabot, October 23, 2009, Boston Herald)

President Obama blows into the bluest state tomorrow facing a cold shoulder from once true-blue admirers, as gay rights activists, anti-war protesters and vexed environmentalists vow to picket a fund-raiser he’s headlining for Gov. Deval Patrick - a marquee event that hasn’t even sold out.

As of last night, liberals who once braved frigid temperatures to behold Obama were shunning tickets to the fund-raiser at the posh Westin Copley Place featuring the president, sources told the Herald. And despite campaign denials, Patrick operatives reportedly were pushing the ducats - between $500 and $6,000 - by e-mail up to the last minute.

“He’s reaching the point in his presidency where not only has the honeymoon ended, but the fighting has begun,” said Larry Sabato, a University of Virginia presidential scholar.

We were walking home from school the other day and the Daughter Judd said: I've learned an important lesson about presidents.

Yes?

They all lie to get you to vote for them.

Why do you say that?

Because if my pony isn't in the driveway when we get home I'll never believe President Obama again.
