Ohio robo-calls

I talked to my 73 year old mom this afternoon and she lives in Canton, Ohio. She was excited, she said she got a call from Obama, telling her that he saw that she hadn't voted yet and wanted to make sure she got to the polls. I'm sure that was a robo-call, but bless her, she had no idea and was on cloud nine, but then she asked me why she was getting so many calls today from people telling her that Obama made Detroit go bankrupt and car companies were moving out of Ohio to other countries. I told her, you know sometimes desperate people will say and do anything to get their way, but you just have to ignore their behavior or fight back. So, I asked her, are you going to get to the polling place and vote for Obama, she replied, "these damn Republicans have pissed me off now, I'm going to vote for Obama so that I can smack them in the kisser. She then told me that she was going to get off the line and call a taxi right straight away to take her to do her voting.
