The bigot I heard on NPR the other morning


and a thread about it elsewhere on DU

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021232377

Here is a transcript of the original story, but the audio more effectively conveys the woman's meaning. As reported by Ari Shapiro.

SHAPIRO: When Romney's entourage arrived, an American Legion official was reading a resolution condemning illegal immigration. Democrats are trying to make inroads with veterans, particularly young vets. But this largely gray-haired audience is not an Obama-friendly crowd. Bobbie Lucier is a retiree from Manassas, Virginia. She's there with her husband, who's a vet. And she has strong feelings about President Obama.

BOBBIE LUCIER: I just - I don't like him. Can't stand to look at him. I don't like his wife. She's far from the first lady. It's about time we get a first lady in there that acts like a first lady and looks like a first lady.

It's very transparent that that is what she means.

Too bad if she isn't what this creep dreamed about. Perhaps the woman needs some REM sleep and some deep reflection.

If you were to juxtapose her against any previous FLOTUS in my 30 years of voting elgibility; she is the only one that I can even remotely see myself being lustful over (no disrespect to my man, O-beezy; I'm just sayin' lol). #GetReal
