more angry and upset by this presidential election than any other. Her husband is just a typical Republican man, but she is turning into a social Darwinist. Honestly, I'm beginning to wonder if she has spent her last ounce of the milk if human kindness.

She has chosen to believe all of that nasty movie crap about Obama being a commie Muslim. She thinks he's out to destroy America.

Our friendship of many decades is strained to the max by her paranoia and expectation that Obama will cause everything to fall apart in our economy and we'll all be at each other's throats.
