1. Did you listen to the entire message and did you hear who sponsored it...
was it Obama?

I'm curious about this, because the Republicans used robocalls pretending to be from Democrats to make the Democrats look bad, when in reality the ads were sponsored by Republicans.

3. No, it was a person--
and I hung up on them, as I hang up on everyone who calls my house asking for money. Obama is actively fund-raising now, so I believe it was, in fact, his organization. Second call in the last three or four days.

4. I would not put it past the Repugs to pay live people to call and
harass potential donors. I wouldn't put it past all of his Dem opponents either...

:(

9. It seems awfully early for that sort of thing.
If it was election-week, it would make sense.

2. Yeah, I received THREE DAMN CALLS today alone! I repeatedly
(and politely) ask them to quit calling. She kept trying to give me his web site address and talking over me.

I finally told her that I was well acquainted with Mr. Obama and he was on my short list of Democratic candidates but that he was moving further down each time I got a call from them. I said two more and I'd have him on the repug list and I would NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS vote for a repug. I asked her, "Ya getting what I'm putting down here?" She said yes but I got another call late this afternoon. Sigh....

7. Heh. We don't have caller ID yet.
Haven't gotten around to ordering it--but I think it's about damn time.

6. If he ever calls you, ask him
how long it will take him to take a position on homosexuality.

8. Okay, there's a cheap joke here--
but I have too much self-respect to go for it.


Okay, not really--which position SHOULD he take, bottom or top?
