2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forum"I'm not voting for Obama. He didn't do enough."
Some poor fool said this to my mom in the supermarket today.
So she said (no idea why) "I'm voting for Santorum." (Never, not ever.)
He said, "Well, I think I'm voting for Romney."
"Romney! Who wants to put women back at the sink!? We fought for everything we wanted and we're still fighting. I'm ninety and I've learned a few things. Pity you haven't."
"You're ninety?" (Her favorite question.)
"You're acting like a spoiled little boy. You didn't get every toy you wanted so now you have a tantrum? At the self-service checkout, no less? You know that is costing someone a job?"
"Well..."
"That's what Romney is good at: firing people!"
That's as much as I could reconstruct. Mom had a great day and is having a nap now.

(4,578 posts)I never have anyone talk to me in the supermarket. Except a cashier here and there. Mainly they just ask how I am doing in a way not expecting an answer (polite gesture I guess), or are you paying with debit, credit or cash? I have been asked do you have your MVP card, but usually I avoid that question by handing that in advance as they scan my goods. Sigh. Maybe it's that fierce frown, the squint in my eyes, or the rumpled clothing below my unshaven face. Maybe it's the lack of socks in hot weather. Who knows. But seriously, I have never had any political conversation in a supermarket ever. NOW, I can say, I have had political conversation in a meat market so to speak. That's a wholly different thing though.

(24,412 posts)is pointless IMHO.
Anybody genuinely upset that President Obama didn't "do enough" really hasn't been paying attention and, to the extent that he's failed to get one thing or another done, they might want to check out exactly what has been going on in the Senate (and since 2011 the House).
