Obama Not Fairing Well at Auction Today
I had lunch at a charity benefit in rural South Dakota this afternoon. (As if any of South Dakota isn't rural?)
The event was a success, as cars lined the streets, and nearly every seat in the community center was filled. They served lunch, had a raffle, and there was a silent auction.
Up for bid were quilts,
used tackle boxes,
thread spool racks,
other wooden crafts,
a "Footprints in the Sand" poem,
a battery powered waterfall,
yummy jams,
canned goods (I mean like beans in a ball jar),
gift certificates good for local businesses,
and right between it all:
there was a commemorative Obama plate.
It had no bids.
I thought about bidding on it, but was afraid to.
(Just kidding, jeeezzz!)
(But, really, it had no bids.)
UPDATE:
In Sioux Falls this morning, I noticed a sign that some city-folk may support Obama.

For a woman that lives in a house considered "Gay friendly and kid approved" this is a win.

It's probably because people prefer to focus on things they need. I don't think anyone needed a commemorative Obama plate in a charity event. Where there other valuable products up for bid at the event?
