And the people I am working closely with are big time Fox viewers. I've never corrected their talking points or disagreed with their ridiculously ill-informed points of view so they think I agree with them. Its all I can do to keep from screaming. They're otherwise nice people, but the blatant hatred of Obama is just horrible.

And he was WHITE! I wonder how your conversations would go if you were to have them today.

They're really very caring and compassionate people, they're also very successful and are VERY good to their employees, paying them double the going rate in the area. So imagine my shock to hear the stuff coming out of their mouths. Today they were talking about "Obamaphones". Yes, you read that right...Obamaphones. They were outraged that he was giving out cell phones to people who didn't want to work.
