My mother is all for Obama. My dad must be turning in his grave. She thinks Obama will be the best president we ever had. I can not talk to her anymore. She thinks I need to get my thinking straight and vote for Obama. When I try to talk to her about Ayers she says it does not matter. Well it matters to me.
Can your mom tell you why Obama would be the best President we ever had? Can anyone?

Give this to your mom....and everyone else for that matter!

Is your mom an ex-hippie?
Ask your mother what sorts of “hope” and “change” Obama is going to bring. He hasn’t said. - It is heartbreaking to have a close relative that one even thinks is going to vote for Obama. Our son is 43 and has lived in bastions of socialism for years. - I’ve told him to expect on steroids what we had under the degree of socialism and complete control of Congress under Carter . . horrible unemployment (double digit), 21% interest rates, very high “misery index”, a “malaise” as Carter called it, terrible morale due to the wimpy responses and judgement of Carter (who hated the Shah of Iran but judged the Ayotollah Khomeni as a fine, religious man and left us the legacy of today’s Iran), long gasoline lines when we could even get gasoline, lectures about our “malaise” and how we needed to wear a sweater and quit whining. It was SO bad that I’ve tried to forget most of it and did when President Reagan took over, cut taxes, dealt with foreign entities in a firm way, and raised morale. I have to hope he remembers what I told him if Hussein is elected and Hussein’s regime loses the glow.
I agree with you, it should be MATTERS!!! Obie’s campaign is nothing but a cult.
She's all caught up in the “Kennedy-like History” that this guys is being sold to create.
When I tell her about his abortion related votes and this redistribution stuff she just doesn't care.
One possibility that I'm coming around to is that she lives in the now and doesn't car as much about the future, while I tolerate today and think mostly about the future for my kids.
Not sure if my hypothesis is sound but hey, its my shot at trying to get where she's coming from?
