19. anyone who sends me one those gets this response
"If you ever send me any such nonsense about Obama again, I will have your email address blocked."
---------------

They all get it, even relatives.

I don't try to respond to people who get their information from other equally ignorant rubes, who also get their news from emails someone somewhere generated. I tell them to go read some intelligent discussions about Obama, and then write to me. I will not dignify that kind of idiocy by attempting to rebut it.

Besides, it's not any of the things they write about him that bugs them. To a person, the people who wallow in those emails are racists. They practically cringe at the thought of a black man being their president. The list of stuff they rattle off that's supposedly wrong with him - that's just bullshit fabricated to justify the hatred, which is racially based. If his name was George Washington Smith, they'd still be pissing and moaning. If his great great great great grandfather was Thomas Jefferson, they'd still hate his guts. If Billy Graham was his pastor, they'd hate on him. Stirring that bad element and capitalizing on it is one reason I will never support Hillary Clinton for any office, ever.

IT IS SKIN DEEP, THIS HATRED OF OBAMA.
