Yes it does sound familiar Sandi. It also sounds illegal. Still waiting for Jeff Doto to provide a link to his post, and to explain why Republican presidents never drove a stake into the heart of poverty, in his other post on a different thread. I have a feeling that I’ll be waiting for a long time.

I think maybe this is what Jeff Doto is referring to.

“John Obringer sent a letter to his tenants Wednesday regarding staff and maintenance issues, but it included a post script that read, “BTW: If you voted ‘Democrat’ on Nov. 6, please notify me ASAP so I can raise your rent first to help pay for what you asked for.” Obringer’s letter began by decrying the “stupidity” of an electorate that would back “the Obama-administration’s continued assault on small business.” ”

Sounds all too familiar.

I agree with you John, spent many an afternoon either getting stuck (the reason for the headache) or sitting and watching the mayhem. The only track i know of that is like this except maybe Bristol.

My husband laughed about the apology to “energizer bunnies on LSD”, too.

I do Blame Obama for one thing. The rush of ammo sales after each of his election wins made it impossible for me to secure a decent ammo discount for my students and class.

Primers are in short supply, to be specific, and ammo manufacturers cannot keep up with demand. Good for them!

Jeff Doto please provide a link for your comment about the company in Colorado. You throw comments out but don’t provide confirmation.

Sandi @3:00 pm It’s just so convenient to blame him.

Sandi it must be convenient for them to screw over employees and pad their bottomi line while laying it ok Obama. I’d say I’m surprised anyone believes it, but I’m not.

I seriously wonder what all these businesses blamed their dirty deeds on before President Obama. Or do people like Jeff Doto think that layoffs, cut backs, bankruptcies and rent increases are a new phenomenon?

Mike T:

“Maybe not to the city but to all the race fans who try to leave [Martinsville Speedway] after a race, it’s got to be the worst place ever.”

I beg to differ, Mike T. I went to the spring race at Martinsville a few years ago, 2009 maybe, and it had been pouring rain. Once the track was dry, it was a good race, but the best action of all, by far, was in the parking lot after the race! Martisville has many open fields they use for parking and all the rain made them a muddy mess! I could barely make it to the top of the hill in all the mud in my four wheel drive, but sure didn’t want people sliding into me on the way out after the race as those hills are self-clearing via gravity if you know what I mean. The effort to the top of the hill was worth it, though; the show of mud bogging on the hill as the fans cleared out was hilarious. We spent over an hour watching people getting stuck, applause for drivers making it through, and one guy with an H2 pulling people out even pulling out a truck who got stuck pulling out a car. I can’t even remember off the top of my head who won the race, but I’ll never forget the show in the parking lot afterward.

I love the Tea Party, but the “apology” to all “energizer bunnies on LSD” is priceless.
