Sweet story from Ohio!

I have a very sweet friend, 86 years old and the salt of the earth. She is a retired nurse and a true saint to many folks who she has helped throughout her life. In 2008 she just couldn't get past the Faux stories of then candidate Obama. She really couldn't see what was at stake. Even in the past month she was not in President Obama's camp.

Yesterday my husband went over to help her with a computer problem and the subject of the election came up. My friend told him that she was voting for Obama and gave a big smile. After watching the debate she has decided that Romney is nothing but a big bully!

I think that is amazing to hear and hope that there are many more seniors who can get over their prejudices of old and realize that no matter what, the truth is important and honesty counts!
