Yesterday I continued my sandwich board campaign at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal in my hometown. I have been there, mostly with another retired cop and fellow Marine, on Mondays and Fridays, for the past 6 weeks, wearing a sandwich board with various messages. Over the weeks I have been surprised to draw thumbs up smiles and “thank you” from Black females. Black females have often stopped and patiently read every word on our boards. They read statistics on unemployment, the January 2009 price of gas compared to today’s and the “Are you better off now” question among many other messages.
Until now I have seen White liberals grimace and Blacks and Hispanics (men and women) as well as White women sometime shake their heads and drop their eyes.
But I have had a Black lady come up to me, read my messages and say, “I prayed for guidance and you are my answer.”
After the first presidential debate and again after the Vice Presidential debate the pursed lips and grunts of “Obama” from worried Democrats increased. Last Friday those grunts got louder and more frequent. A Black man with a West Indian accent stood in front of me screaming, “Romney is a liar!” over and over again. All he accomplished was to help us draw a bigger crowd. Yesterday the anger and desperation on the Left was full blown.
My sign yesterday said “Obama’s response to Libya has been sloppy sluggish and incoherent.” David Gregory NBC News October 19, 2012. This sent the White male liberals over the edge. I was double teamed by two snarky empty headed White male liberals firing questions and smugly congratulating themselves that they could yell over my answers. They knew nothing about Libya, but KNEW (David Gregory and I) were wrong. While they were yelling a Black female moved two feet from my face and started chanting “Obama” “Obama 2012” and a crowd gathered around. It was wonderful because more people saw my sign. The police know me and knew I was in no need of rescue so they let it go on.
So far since September 11 (our first day) we have displayed our messages to about 20,000 people.
I’ve done door to door campaigning for years and never reached more than a few hundred people in a week. Now I’m reaching more people in one morning than a small army of volunteers reaches in a week. This is fun; it is working and telling me Obama will have some nasty surprises on Election Night.

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well, for example, the other day I went downtown and into a shop. I was only there for about 5 minutes, and when I came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. I said to him, ‘Come on, man, how about giving a retired person a break’? He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. I called him a ‘Nazi.’ He glared at me and wrote another ticket for having worn tires. So I called him a ‘doughnut eating Gestapo.’ He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he wrote a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more I abused him the more tickets he wrote. Personally, I didn’t care. I came downtown on the bus, and the car that he was putting the tickets on had a bumper sticker that said, ‘I ♥ Obama.’ I try to have a little fun each day now that I’m retired. It’s important to my health.

Ray, that wasn’t funny the first time you told it. How about commenting on the article and saving your retired and retarded humor for the old folks home.
To John Black : Didn’t your Mother ever tell you that if you do NOT have something nice to say about someone (especially someone you do not even KNOW!), that you should keep your mouth shut? Raymond doesn’t deserve your carping, Sir. Please apologize to him.
