We spotted this yesterday outside Burkes Blue Collar on Congress St in Troy. Burkes is a self-described "working class bar" with "cheap booze, nasty staff, and pretty good food."
Who says Obama has a problem with blue collar voters?

Your opinion on bagel toasting is what makes me confidant that you are legit.

Everyone loves good hotogs and cheap booze!
