When I would go visit her where she lived outside of Reno, I had to walk out of the room when she had FOX on.

I recall an argument we had about the impending 2012 election. She wanted to see a "Black President, but NOT this Black President." I asked her..."What is so bad about this President?" She could not come up with a reasonable answer.
I reminded her that I had seen Barack Obama several times, worked an event where he was the keynote speaker at, hugged by Michelle Obama in 2008, met Joe Biden in 2011 at an event he was a keynote speaker at. She changed the subject.

I still miss her because there has been so much that has happened not related to Politics.
