You can't spell OBAMA without "BAMA!" You damn yankees call grits "polenta."
I should actually define what a "damn yankee," is for you. A "damn yankee," is someone typically from the North East who moves to the South and decides to never leave. More and more Southern States like the Carolina's are really starting to experience this issue.
It will be a matter of time before those damn yankees find out about how awesome the great state of Alabama is. Mountains in the North, Beaches in the South, year round golfing (Robert Trent Jones) and the best damn College Football in the Country (4 Straight NC's!)
