I can't take it anymore. My rant. [View all]

I just got into a big fight with a friend of about 30 years. I try not to talk politics with her or anyone else really. Not any more. Things have just gotten to crazy, too mean.

Her current criticism of Obama. He was wearing white pants. She says he's not doing anything but ride his bike and play golf.

I made the mistake of saying he looked exhausted. I think he does look exhausted. His hair is going gray and his face has such deep lines in it.

I feel like running away from home to someplace deep in the desert.

This has all gotten so hateful and awful. I'm afraid to even open my mouth.
