Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


"You are bidding on a rare sweet potato that looks like presidential candidate Barack Obama [-] very strange, a very rare find," writes the seller on the Internet auction site.

"I was just in the grocery store this morning (May 18) wearing my Obama 'Yes We Can' bracelet. I was in the produce section when someone stopped me in front of the sweet potato bin and asked me where I got my bracelet," the posting continues.

"I then looked down and saw the Barack Obama sweet potato staring right back at me. Winning bidder will get the Barack Obama sweet potato . . . and as a bonus . . . the Obama 'Yes We Can' bracelet that I was wearing when this strange event occured."

The seller believes the potato "has mystical powers," and stresses that it is being offered as "a collectors item only. It is not intended for human consumption."

The auction closed at 3 p.m. yesterday. For the potato the winning bidder paid $8.49 plus shipping.

Great points but, I suspect the gentlemen quoted are very similar to the communists here. Look at the one that just auctioned off the sweet potato with mystical powers that looks like BO. She was wearing her communist party bracelet at the time. I practically fell out of my chair when the Obama campaign immediately seized on Bush's Knesset speech and said, hey, he is dissing our strategy, how dare he.
