A conversation overheard


True story. On the shuttle bus to the train station, the woman behind me turned to the only other passenger and said: “So I got an email today with a photo of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and some others, standing with their hands on their hearts and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Except Obama refused to put his hand on his heart and refused to repeat the Pledge of Allegiance. You know, his middle name is Hussein. I think he’s secretly a Muslim. We sure wouldn’t want a Muslim running this country!”

I wish this all was just in my imagination, but no, it really happened. I am no fan of Obama in terms of many of his political views, but I can’t believe anyone in their right mind would say (or think) such things.
