There's no doubt the upcoming election is having a big impact on people. But places? A local farm market owner is losing business because of a political sign put up by his brother. Sweet corn is their specialty. But lately Bullard's Farm Market is getting some not-so-sweet attention.

"Over the Labor Day weekend my brother painted a barn," explained Bullard's Farm Market owner Kevin Bullard.

An Obama Barn that is. It's part of a grassroots campaign called "Barns for Obama." Supporters paint an "O" on their barns to show their support.

just me wrote: Are Barns registered voters?

Good question ..ha.

And of course, the guy blames it on his brother.

How typical, always someone else’s fault.

He is running a lot of TV ads on Fort Wayne stations. I think he is wasting his money.

Let us know when he stop advertising in Fort Wayne. With Washington, Michigan, and Minnesota back in play I have a feeling Obama will shift his resources away from Indiana.

Farmer’s Union —? Yeah, it’s a long-standing group, leans Democrat. They would like to group together for bargaining power on prices but around here it’s not really caught on. Most farmers in this area are more conservative.

As for the two brothers, the one who owns the barn is NOT the one who operates the farmer’s market. The market probably should not take a hit for his brother’s indiscretion.

My in-laws ought to paint a big star on their barn for McCain/Palin but they just are not the type to do so ;-)

yum. Honey crisp corn - microwave them in one of those new microwave bags for three minutes. yum.

Hard to believe a farmer could find anything to identify with Obama, who probably never ever planted a seed.

Not necessarily - Obama was a pothead, you know.

So in order to support the Obamantion, one brother has painted an OBAMA ‘08 on his barn — with no apparent concern for what it is doing to the other brother’s business? That’s about the level of morality I expect from a leftist Obamabot...

Famers as welfare queens .... Let me run that by my husband, the farmer. He will get a laugh out of it since we’re not in the farm program. Most of the neighbors aren’t, either.

Most people with no connection to farming see it through the media’s lense, that all farms are all alike, all across the country.

[Straight Vermonter]

I live in dairy country where all the farmers are on welfare.

[mrmargaritaville]

maybe they can donate their corn to a food bank that’s been set up by a community organizer.

Here's a perfect "Obama barn"...

[Mr. Jazzy]

It would have been more appropriate for the campaign to be “Out Houses for Obama”.

Why?

They are BOTH full of shit.

Sort of Biblical, isn't it?

[Prophet in the wilderness]

I guess the next O they will paint on their barns now is for :

OPPSSSSSSSS !!!!


That needs to be photo shopped really bad and sent off to everyone ..... Obama Barns to OPPSSSSSSS !!!

[Prophet in the wilderness]

What was it what Jesus said about Barns and Fools ?

[Waco]

NO 0BARMA

[Scarpetta]

Since brother Kevin doesn’t come out and say he does not support Obama, I hope his business continues to suffer.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

" Let him or her try and survive on just Obama lackeys.... most of whom will probably demand freebies reparations. "

There now, fixed.

[LibLieSlayer]

Their business must be communism in nature.

We were going to paint it on our barn but we own a cotton farm and they asked us not to...

Do you know why Obama won't take aspirin from a bottle?
He's too proud to pick the cotton off the top....
