I've had some interesting conversations of late regarding my choice in the upcoming Presidential election. The first conversation I had was with a friend of mine who is a pharmacist (not a tech, not an assistant but a pharmacist, with a degree on the wall and in charge of the whole operation). This person said, "I'm not voting for Obama 'cause I don't want to have to look at that ****** on TV for the next four years".
Had another conversation over a beer with someone who is the CFO of a company in Ft. Worth. Not a huge company but it employs several hundred people. This person said, "I just don't know what that ****** stands for".
I'm driving home on the highway a week or so ago and I happen to have an Obama sticker on the back of my car. I'm driving home, minding my own business when a car (a red two door Chevy cavalier) comes along side me and in it are two white males in the front seat, two white females in the back. Neither man has a shirt on, they are tattooed to the hilt and the passenger is screaming something at my car while giving the old Heil Hitler with his right hand.
I'd like to think that it's truly a minority of people who think like this, but it seems so widespread. I wonder if any of the other Obama supporters around here have had similar instances or if I'm nuts?
