33. I had no problems with folks liking or posting positive things about RR

Nov 2012

it's when they bash my President that I get mad.

I knew one college friend was hurting over the loss, so i let a lot of her comments slide. But last night, she posted a raging rant about the McKayla the gymnast picture, and how there was not class or grace in the White House, and I let her have it about Romney's post-election behavior, and how he should just STFU and go visit his money in a foreign country for a while.

What was funny is how many of her friends told her the same thing. She changed her rant to FEMA and how Obama wasn't doing enough in NY and NJ, and these same friends reminded her that she and Romney hated FEMA and "Big Government", so shouldn't she be telling these folks to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps?

Her problem is that she's a public school teacher, so she's forced to consort with the enemy every day! She can't stay in her husband's Fox "News" bubble.
