Ya'll are going to be sorry

I debated whether to write a post about an incident that occurred after attending the Gov. Sarah Palin rally in Pensacola a few weeks ago. But it happened and happened to me and my family so why not, right?

As we were leaving the rally we had to detour through downtown Pensacola and drove through what seemed to be an Obama neighborhood, or maybe just a bunch of people who liked yard signs with his name. Anyway, we had to stop so Gov Palin's motorcade could go by on there way to the airport.

While waiting, a family sitting on their porch, noticed we were McCain - Palin supporters. After Gov Palin's motorcade passed someone on the porch yelled as us, "Hey ya'll are going to be sorry when Obama becomes President."

The more I thought about that statement I wondered, "Is that how Obama supporters view this election?".  I mean McCain and McCain supporters believe that McCain's policy will help everyone. It's not an us or them mentality, it should be a country united.

Hopefully this is not the attitude of other Obama supporters and just a limited case.

Or... Maybe I just took the whole thing the wrong way because if you really think about it, what they said was true, "Ya'll (who everyone?) are going to be sorry when Obama becomes President."

Obama scolded?

Is it me or when Sen. John McCain said;

"Senator Obama I'm not President Bush. If you wanted to run against President Bush you should have run four years ago."

it was like a father scolding their kid.

Sen Barack Obama has run on this notion that McCain is President Bush and repeats the phrase "failed Bush administration" in his sleep probably.

But in two quick sentences McCain stopped that mantra right in it's tracks. I mean what else could Obama say? Maybe "Yes sir". 

I'm not sure but I don't think the failed Bush administration issue came up again.

I really expected McCain to say next "Now go to your room!".
