last Wednesday, the President pissed me off

[librarylu]

7. I was at the dump -

I mean recycling center- yesterday and the attendant started going off on Romney for his "all lies" in the debate. I told him I tried to be unemotional and neutral and listened closely to see if Romney made any good points. I came away hating the man.

Hopefully other viewers had reactions like that and didn't think the President did badly at all.

Sometimes it's better to be low key and let people come to conclusions on their own.

Republicans I've met seem obsessed with gas and food prices, jobs and the deficit. It doesn't matter that Obama doesn't control gas and food or that the situation has been improving for the last three years or that the deficit has to do, in part, with the Baby Boomers reaching retirement age. They're thinking with their amygdalae and nothing's going to change that.

Facts might impress the rest of us, though. The attendant lost his job, pension, everything due to corporate raiding. He's no fan of Bain

I'm going to find some more garbage and swing back by the dump. I neglected to remind him to vote.
