Rep. Yarmuth Didn’t Get Hippie Punching Memo from White House

By: Thursday October 14, 2010 7:35 pm

On Wednesday August 26th of this year, I attended a Metro Democratic Club meeting in Louisville, KY. Although the meeting was scheduled as a local candidates meet and greet, the featured speaker was Democratic Congressman John Yarmuth who represents Kentucky’s 3rd Congressional District.  Even though the meeting was run by one of the most active Democratic clubs in Louisville, the meeting was open to the public.  In other words, Yarmuth was there to present what the Democrats had accomplished in the latest session and to take questions from club members — but Rep. Yarmuth must not have gotten the White House memo to be upbeat about White House plans/achievements on the economy while you punch a hippie.
