Now my right-wing Facebook friend is whining

because Michelle Obama was caught on camera clapping during the debate in violation of the "rules." I can smell her Orange County desperation all the way up here in Anchorage. I guess she realized that "act of terror" thing wasn't getting much traction.

Sad and pathetic. She's not a close friend; I might just have to let her go.

I must admit Ann Romney probably didn't violate that particular rule last night. tanyev Oct 2012 #4

He did it last night by asking a direct question of the President. That is against the rules and far more egregious than Michelle clapping when many others were also clapping.

Mitt behaved like a churlish bully because that is what he is.

It was a spontaneous reaction shared by a lot of people in that room. Too bad Willard couldn't give his own wife something to cheer or the audience to laugh about and not at.

I've also been posting as many fact-based slams against Romney as I can find. If she's going to drive me crazy, I can at least return the favor.

I had a friend on facebook who would post terrible things about President Obama. I told her I did not need to be educated as I could make my own descisions. She would not stop so I sent her a message stating tha she was killing my soul and I had to say gooddbye. I told her to have a nice life and goodbye. I feel so much better I do not have to read her crap.
