Way back during the Primary season, I bought an "Obama apos;08" button off the Barack Obama website -- back when you could buy things off the website and swag eventually showed at your door. I pinned this bland blue and white pin to my lapel and wandered around downtown Silver Spring where the pin made a bunch of friends.
I am back to wearing my jacket with the pin but I have added a second pin: a ROBOTS FOR OBAMA pin. You see, even my Robot Overlords are awaiting His Hawtness. People seem shocked that:
A. I have been supporting Obama since the time Mark Warner dropped out of his Presidential Exploratory Bid.
B. I have been wearing my blue button for near forever.
Today, for some strange reason, my pins made extra special pin friends.
PF#1: Walking out of Borderapos;s today, a pudgy white guy in glasses stopped me and announced: "I LOVE YOUR BUTTON"
PF#2: I was kidnapped by our Marketing Director at work who wanted to use me to prove to our CFO that "even white girls support Obama," using my bizarre collections of pins as proof. This descended into a weird conversation about race and race relations and Obama and Reconstruction () and an end to racism. I said, "Well, I think heapos;s hot" and that sent an entire aisle of people into laughing fits. Later, several people walked over to rub my Obama bobble head for luck. No doubt, I will be mocked further tomorrow.
PF#3: I went to Columbia Sport Spine and the (okay, black, yes) receptionist looked at my buttons and just wanted to talk and talk and talk and talk and about Obama and everything there is about him. And oh yes it is wonderful that I support him so openly. I pointed out that my Robot Overlords support Obama and received an odd look.
So the pins continue to do their job -- stir up trouble But mostly for me.
