My Sister's Boss said "Tell Your Sister to Calm Down"

Last edited Tue Oct 23, 2012, 11:10 AM - Edit history (1)

They normally don't discuss politics but he asked how I was doing, and my sis said "well she is a die hard Democrat and her anxiety problems always spike during election season, especially during Presidential elections, and she has been driving me nuts the past few weeks."

My sis is a Democrat too, she just isn't as passionate about politics as I am. She is very logical and practical and says you just deal with whatever comes good or bad and believes getting emotional doesn't help. Well except for anger she likes that emotion. lol. She believes that one motivates.

Her boss, however, said "tell your sister not to worry. Romney has made so many gaffes and screwups that people aren't going to forget that, just because he supposedly won that first debate. He started international incidents just by going abroad. Obama is going to win."

So I am doing my best to calm down and keep repeating "There are enough people who know Mittens is a dangerous idiot. Obama is going to win. That and I am going to volunteer some more, to do what I can to help ensure that.

The first debate was a tough hit, but when comparing their records, Obama's is clearly better than Romney's. As long as the people vote rationally, you should have no problem.
