We cats see quite an eclectic mix of bumper stickers when we're out running errands in Northern Virginia.
Reflecting the diversity of the Commonwealth itself, the stickers range from "Obama-Biden" to the Gadsden flag. And we occasionally see the Republican riff on President Obama's 2008 "HOPE" message: "NOPE." We actually think "NOPE" is kind of clever.
But yesterday we saw a right-wing sticker that we found most odd. It said "STOP OBAMA."
This begs an interesting question. "STOP" Obama from what?
From killing Osama bin Laden? From halting torture? From rescuing America's reputation around the world? From ensuring that women are paid the same as men? From saving the auto industry? From reforming healthcare? From saving the economy? From reforming Wall Street? From having government infrastructure in place to deal with natural disasters? From trying to prevent mining companies from killing their workers without penalty? From appointing sane people to the Supreme Court? From proving at the expense of a preening mountebank that he, the President, is an American?
We cats think the GOP has to come up with better stuff than that. At the same time, driving around with our "2012" bumper sticker, we cats are amused. So, we PURR.
