Obama Insults Lobster Boy!
In a campaign appearance last week, Barack Obama mocked, in less than subtle fashion, the Lobstery Boy. As can be seen in the photo below, during his speech Obama mimicked the Lobster Boy's trademark claw:
While he has denied intentionally mocking Lobster Boy, Obama's primary opponent, Senator Hillary Clinton, was quick to capitalize on the situation, issuing mailers to Carnies across the Midwest:
Will Lobster Boy be left out of Obama's healthcare plan?
Hillary-Care covers lobster people, because she cares. With roots in the carnival, Hillary spent her summers learning about the Lobster people. Barack Obama? He mocks Lobster Boy, and pushed for S.718, a bill to create a universal size of scissor finger-holes...a size that wouldn't be usable by lobster people. Can we really trust Barack Obama with the power of the Presidency?
