In tomorrow’s News: Obama outlaws apple pie and declares that no woman should ever be referred to as “Mom”.

This must be an April Fools joke. Many communities, even those in blue states, get a large chunk of tourist money on weeks when they host a race.

Huh? What? Doesn’t he understand how many NASCAR fans there are out there???? The Dems tried a few years ago during the last gas crisis to ban GA flying because private planes were using up too much of the gas that cars needed - that went over well, NOT!

No, this is the future; where the Government controls the expenditures of the public and the private, both the horizontal and the vertical. Do not attempt to adjust your set. We are in control.

We can hope? I hadn’t even considered that.

I feel like we’re living on Bizarro World!

It will take the sheeple a while to realize that everything sucks under government control.

GM and Chrsyler are dead. The UAW and govt taxes & regulation killed them. They killed the golden goose and now they cannot believe it.

The election of Obam killed the economy. People stopped spending. Obama and the Dems have bankrupted the country and will be taking away a lot more of our rights and he wasn’t even born here. Do you think he cares what NASCAR fans think?

I hear ya and I know the fans vote conservative but Obama helped finish off GM and Chrysler - I doubt he is worrying about NASCAR.

Well, with the upcoming government-mandated restrictions on what models they can produce, they probably wouldn’t be real competitive anyway. Hard for me to picture a hybrid car winning many races.
