over dinner and a few drinks last night.
” I like that President Obama”
Why?
I don’t know–he just seems nice.
Do you know anything about him?
No, he seems nice though.

God help us, this is a thoroughly decent person, who gets all of her information from television news and who VOTES. And there are millions just like her.
