Monday after the rally, we canvass neighborhoods, but only to put those door hangers on every door in Lakeshore. On a sunny street, two boys about 10 or 11 are playing outside – in tee shirts! In Cleveland! In November!
We say hi, and I offer them an Obama button. One boy takes one, the other doesn’t, telling me his grandpa doesn’t like Obama.
On my return trip down the street, the little boy shows up, looking a bit downcast. He returns the button I’d given him, with the explanation: “My sister’s boyfriend says Obama stinks.” As he’s walking away, he adds: “But I still like him.”
