She clearly didn’t understand that Arizona went for Romney, so one more vote for him wouldn’t have changed things.[/quote]
The right-wing noise machine has been telling Americans that Obama has been hurting their finances since before he even took office. Limbaugh called the recession “the Obama recession” while Bush was still president (but after Obama won the election) on the assumption that businesses anticipated poor treatment from a Democratic president and therefore started laying people off. And it’s been a non-stop barrage ever since.
I’ve frequently wondered, when listening to right wingers parrot this garbage, if they really believe it, deep down inside. I guess at least some of them do. Clearly, the right-wing noise machine is able to reach deep into people’s psyches and spin them up. Obviously, this woman had other problems. But clearly she was spun up about politics. And what do you think the odds are that she had a clear understanding of the issues that made her so angry?
