Have you ever been to a public event that promises FREE stuff? The grand opening of store, a restaurant promotion, radio station event. Look at the incredible slack-jawed idiots who show up. That’s Obama’s base, “fired up, ready to go.”

Those who showed up for the free stuff were rather rudely referred to in the biz as “contest piggies”. It seems that the “contest piggies” are now a majority of our fellow citizens, and they’ve brought swine flu with them….
