The bigot I heard on NPR the other morning [View all]


and a thread about it elsewhere on DU

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021232377

Here is a transcript of the original story, but the audio more effectively conveys the woman's meaning. As reported by Ari Shapiro.

SHAPIRO: When Romney's entourage arrived, an American Legion official was reading a resolution condemning illegal immigration. Democrats are trying to make inroads with veterans, particularly young vets. But this largely gray-haired audience is not an Obama-friendly crowd. Bobbie Lucier is a retiree from Manassas, Virginia. She's there with her husband, who's a vet. And she has strong feelings about President Obama.

BOBBIE LUCIER: I just - I don't like him. Can't stand to look at him. I don't like his wife. She's far from the first lady. It's about time we get a first lady in there that acts like a first lady and looks like a first lady.
