...what this administration has done. With the help of Fox News, they have brainwashed and divided families. My parents were subjected to the same thing. They were afraid...because fear was used for the promotion of Bush policies. It was NOT their fault...but it changed them. My dad passed away a year ago, but Mom just voted for Obama. :) It's a partial victory that I give total credit to my mom for...she started reading, listened to her grandchildren, and turned off Fox.

But it took four YEARS.

I agree with you that the worry isn't good for them. My advice is just to be reassuring and supportive...and give them things to read, if they will. I also believe that over time, people will realize that they have nothing to fear from Obama...and the fear-mongering will die off. The sooner the better, IMHO.:hi:
