Brainwash the Old Dog and He'll Enjoy the Dog Food Dinners

This morning I was up bright and early to get my annual vehicle safety inspection. While waiting for the mechanic to finish up, I was inside the little store, talking to the elderly gentleman who ran the register.

Inevitably the subject of falling gas prices came up, and he assured me that it was all because of Obama's election. I pointed out that prices started to fall long before the election, but he remained unswayed. It was all because of Obama. Next I tried the "supply and demand" tack. He obviously understood the concept from his comments during this part of the conversation, but somehow it was all moot because the falling gas prices were a gift from Obama.

He's convinced that the economy will be just fine and dandy again come January 20th. I wish you luck old timer, because you're going to need it.
