once when I was at work and a customer was going off on Pres Obama and Michelle when he was first elected.

I said what Curmudge said.. "I love Obama" and kept smiling.. she fumed(I think I saw smoke coming out of her head) when she walked out the door.

But, my blood was boiling inside as it always does when faced with ignorance of that calibre.
