Barack Obama in Oregon today... at Lew's? WTF?!

Barack Obama was campaigning in Oregon today, and was met with a huge crowd (75,000!) at Waterfront Park, as you can see in that thumbnail. It's not a surprise considering Obama has this race in the bag and Oregon is a blue state. However, he didn't just hit Portland. He and his family were in my hometown of Milwaukie. Lord knows why he decided to make a trip down McLaughlin, anyone who lives there or has been there lately can tell you it's turned into quite the shit hole. But even worse than that, he decided to stop for a snack at Lew's Dari-Freeze.

Holy shit, I live like 3 minutes from there! Barack Obama was basically at my house today! Well, not really, but you know, that's damn close. But, again, as anyone will tell you, you don't go to Lew's. Oh Barack, the stories I could tell you about people I know working at Lew's. Hopefully you only got a soda...
