Grandma sent out a mass email about how Obama and Congress won't use the government health insurance. It's riddled with inaccuracies. She sends these emails all the time.
My email:
Grandma,
Please don't send me any more emails. I'm a huge Obama supporter. I'm excited that he's provided free or reduced cost health care to people like me...not rich enough to have health coverage, and just barely making ends meet.
The reply:
'M SORRY IF IT UPSETS YOU, BUT THIS MAN IS A NARCISSIST. HE WILLPROBABLY TURN OUT TO BE THE MOST EVIL MAN IN USA HISTORY. HE IS TRYING TO DESTROY US FROM WITHIN.
YOU WON'T RECOGNIZE THIS YET AS YOU DON'T HAVE AS MUCH HISOTRY BEHIND YOU AS I DO.
I WILL STOP SENDING E-MAILS BECAUSE YOU ASKED ME, BUT SOME DAY YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE PRESSING NEED, NOT JUST FOR "CHANGE" BUT SLOW AND RATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS WITHOUT DESTROYING WHAT A GREAT NATION WE ARE.
THE "KENNEDY HEALTH BILL" IF ADOPTED, GUARANTEES THAT NEITHER CONGRESSMEN OR THE PRESIDENT WILL HAVE TO GIVE UP THEIR HEALTH PLAN AND BE IN THE SAME BOAT AS WE WILL END UP IN. IF IT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM, WHY IS IT SOMETHING WE WOULD WANT?
I AM SORRY FOR YOU. GRANDMA
Huh. I guess she didn't listen to Obama's platform at all.
