I’m 36 almost 37. My husband is 45.
I’m rooting for Obamessiah, he’s for McCain. It’s been a firey time in our house (and I have to wonder how Carville and Matalin do it).
Here’s where the gap comes in. He doesn’t believe that America can elect a black man for president yet. I tell him he’s lost touch with my generation (and even if I’m actually on the tail end of his, being a Heinz 57 like I am, I tend to be much more sensitive to the anti racism feelings of the youngers, having those same feelings myself). As we were reading the papers Sunday morning we had that exact discussion-except I told him he didn’t know what he was talking about because he was an old fart. He promptly sniffed, snapped up the paper and plotted his revenge.
I’ll have to pick fights with him like that again sometime.
Sounds like my house although I am still holding out my selection until I see who Obama picks as a running mate. Hubs is pure Republican and it is a mortal sin to vote anything else.
But I will say the “discussions” usually end up in a good way….**snicker**
As much as I have no problem with a black man or a woman in office middle america does not feel the same and as we have seen with not only Bush being elected but Re-elected after making the entire US look like a bunch of idiots it is just NOT going to happen anytime SOON.
and I am not republican or and old fart : )
Terri I would never call you an old fart. I don’t get the same reaction.
I guess we’ll see soon, eh?
LMAO… I am just saying that I don;t think the age difference has anything to do with you two not agreeing on this.
