I really don't get the hatred thing at all. My mother-in-law is a great old lady with the same irrational hatred of Bush and the dreamy eyed love for Clinton.

Ditto with my mom. She gets loonier and loonier every year and is the queen of irrational ad hominem attacks.

My best guess with Betty is that it is a touch of class envy. She's a wonderful woman, but this is her blind spot.

The funny thing is that she has more money than me, but I still have the ambitions of youth, relatively.
