Reaching across the BBQ aisle
Thursday, December 18, 2008 at 9:09AM I'm fairly synical when it comes to politics. Aw who am I kidding? I'm fairly syncial about most things. But I only just saw this quote from President Elect Obama. I think his comments reflect a plank in a platform that I could get behind. 
Barak Obama gave an outdoor shirtsleeve speech at a "barbecue" in Eau Claire, WI on Sunday 8/24/08, the day after he announced Joe Biden as his running mate. He began his remarks by demonstrating a grasp of a controversy even more divisive than taxes: "There was a debate about whether technically this could be called a barbecue. Because my theory is that if there's no barbecue, it's not a barbecue. It's a cookout."
Heck if the President understands the difference between BBQ & grilling, maybe there's hope yet!
Cheers,
