| 82. Boy its a tough one.. |

I'm in your shoes as well right now. Saying that Obama is a racist, muslim ratical, etc, etc. I was going to do the samething... just send her links from Snopes but have not done so yet. I know I must respond to her, but in what manner. She is not only a friend but a long time client for contract work, not in the past several months though. I did not want this happen but it did. I am enraged that she would say the things she did, she is a very smart person, so to hear her rattle this stuff off was a total shock. I've not made up my mind what I am going to do yet...
I feel your anger, pain, frustration & confusion & fear as well.
