JACKSONVILLE, FL - Protesters are as common to the campaign trail as supporters - from those waving McCain signs at the entrance of events, to the more subtle passersby who flash the thumbs down gesture (or worse) along the motorcade route, to the occasional group that infiltrates and interrupts an event.
But this afternoon, someone went all out to get his or her message out at Obama’s rally in northern Florida.
A single engine plane pulling a banner behind it - like those you’d see at the shore - circled Obama’s rally, which was held at Metropolitan Park along the St. John’s River in Jacksonville.
The protester’s message: “Raising taxes is not patriotic.”
While Obama did assure the crowd no less than four times that he would cut taxes, it’s unclear if he actually saw the plane, which buzzed overhead for the first few minutes of the event. “Don’t let them run the okey doke on you. You heard of the okey doke? Don’t let ‘em bamboozle you. Don’t be hoodwinked. I will cut taxes,” he said, not referencing the plane.
They usually establish no-fly zones around those events. I bet that pilot got a call from the FAA after he landed.
