On The Streets For Obama
A reader sends along this anecdote of a senior white dude:
I
went out canvassing yesterday and am going again on Saturday. I have
had some remarkable experiences. I approached 2 tall black young guys
who were walking on the street I was canvassing. One was without his
shirt and when he turned around, I saw he had 2 tattoos on his chest -
3 inch letters, one word HATE, the other PAIN. Yikes!
I asked them if
they were registered - yes, both of them said. I asked if they
were going to get to the polls: yes they were. As I walked away, the
tattooed guy says, "Thank you, sir, for supporting Obama".
It was a
stunner on several levels (thanking me; '"sir"; the look of
appreciation of a kid, not a gangster...).
Know hope.
