Just remembered one friend who picked a huge fight with me after the election because I was speaking against Obama. She recently sent out a joke email to me and several friends that was defintely anti-Democrat and anti-Obama.
Another friend who just recently became a citizen lambasted me for being so “negative” about Obama. Now that he is voting in his first U.S. election, he has asked me several times as to how to vote on the propositions in California.
Then another friend, supposedly a registered Republican, voted for Obama because he “wanted a black president” and he “couldn’t stand Sarah Palin.” We had a few yelling matches since Obama got in but now my friend seems a bit angry about his vote. But still, his pride won’t let him admit it to me.
I was in for a surprise about six months ago. I have a friend who is a prototypical artist— liberal, wild hair and clothes etc. I NEVER dreamed I’d hear what she said. She came to me almost with tears in her eyes and told me she had made a terrible, terrible mistake in voting for The Won. She says she now fears for her country and takes blame for having bought into his stupid line about hope and change.
Honestly . . . I was stunned. I still am. She was about last on my list of people I ever thought would say such a thing.
