Report by Frederick Tanner, MI ChapterDemocratic White House Hopeful Barack Obama, at a rally today, promised Americans “A chicken in every pot and a pocket in every pair of underwear” if elected. The promise comes following poll results showing Americans are worried about being able to provide decent meals for their families in the face of economic woes, and also that citizens want the government to provide them with new gadgets to make their lives easier. Obama addressed the latter concern rhetorically by asking, “... after all, what could be handier than a pocket in your underwear?” Obama said that he would sign an executive order, within minutes of being sworn in, requiring that all underwear bought and sold in the United States be fitted with convenient little pockets.
