DAVENPORT, Iowa — Ross Murty likes business, but he doesn’t like President Obama.

And so the co-owner of the Village Corner Deli here agreed to cater Obama’s visit Wednesday — but not before donning a T-shirt blaring the message: “Government didn’t build my business. I did.”

“No one from the government was there when we were sweating it, when we were building this business,” Murty said. Before him was a bank of chafing dishes filled with smoked beef brisket, pulled pork, vegetable parmesan bake and cheesy hash brown casserole provided to the White House press corps covering the president’s three-day swing across Iowa this week.

Murty, 45, a registered Republican, didn’t really have a choice with the catering job. His partner, Bret Dalton (a registered Democrat), accepted the work on Saturday while Murty was away in Chicago watching a Cubs game. Dalton volunteered for Vice President Biden’s presidential campaign in 1988, when he was a student at Iowa State University.

In VA a bakery owner refused to host a Biden campaign stop.  He said the SS came in later and thanked him for refusing and bought a bunch of stuff.  News report below;

Crumb & Get It is on Facebook. Go check them out and "like" them. It's the least we can do.
We really need to support this guy. I'm sure he'll be targeted by liberal hate groups after this

Just reading comments out and about on the net, people are still MIGHTY steamed about "you didn't build that."  Time is not mellowing the feeling, either.

Any rock band named "Hairball" can't really take itself too seriously, and therefore I find this funny as hell.

I posted it in the 4 more beers thread.... Chuck Grassley is all over it on twitter also! It's my understanding I-80 was shut down for a while also near Des Moines.

On one of the boards I think I even mentioned I thought I seen President Obama buying you a beer at the Fair.  :lmao: :lmao:
