Reply #23: When I see threads like this I am so happy that my 78 year old mother is not like this. [View All]

She never liked Bush, and she supported Obama and would have voted for him if she had been physically able to stand in the long line at the polls. She tells me that most of her friends feel the same way.

She also told me that her cousin, who is closer to my age, told her that she feared what would happen if Obama won and that he may be a terrorist. My mother spoke up and tried to tell her, unsuccessfully, that her fears were unfounded.

So keep in mind that not all people of that generation feel the same way. I know that most of the people on DU, including the OP, know this, but it bears repeating.
