22. A medical doctor who barks and bellows and snaps and is ALWAYS right...
came into my office this week to talk, since I am the only person in the department who is educated and cultured, and appreciates the finer things he and his wife are able travel extensively to enjoy. I have an Obama '08 bumper sticker on my pickup truck which I park across from his office window so he sees it any time he looks out. A black look came across his face and he said "Obama is the worse thing that has ever happened to this country." I started saying (talking over him) "He is the best president since FDR." while he was bellowing at the very same time "He is the worst president since FDR!" He screamed "Do you realize FDR had General Patton attack with weapons the WWI vets who were simply camped waiting for their pay?!" Screamed it. I just said with kindness that a Democrat would never do that. He stalked out, saying something about agreeing to disagree, while I turned to my pc and googled "WWI vets attacked", cut and pasted the whole article about Republican Pres Hoover sending in a general--not Patton--to shoot WWI vets who were encamped to petition for the bonus they had been promised. It would have been up on his screen by the time he got back to his office. Haven't heard from the good doctor since.
