Overheard at the Bodega
Posted on February 11th, 2009 in Uncategorized | 7 Comments »
As I was buying my New York Post this morning, I overheard a Mexican guy buying some coffee say to the Yemeni guy behind the counter, “Mucho trabajo, poco dinero.”
And the Yemeni guy, who doesn’t know that much Spanish, said only, “Obama si, Obama si.”
Pretty interesting.

In what way?

Oh, I think it speaks to the hope that many people across the country are putting in Obama, people who probably don’t get represented much in the media, and people whom the Republicans seem hell-bent on alienating….

I think it speaks more to your state of mind than it does to anything meant by either of the two men you overheard.

I meant to say - he’s not *incapable* of rudeness - not impervious. Sorry. Tired.
