I have a few rules I try to live by. One of those rules are DO NOT DISCUSS POLITICS WITH FRIENDs. I often tell Philip before dinner parties I mean it dont discuss it people are entitled to there personal views. I am breaking that rule. I went to go see Barack when he was in town last Saturday night. Phil and I went with a few people from work. We stood there on a hard concrete floor actually the football field with 20,000 strangers for four hours. The thing that amazed me was the diversity that was there.. young, college kids, old white ladies, black men, african american families, middle class white families. It was amazing. I have been an Obama supporter for awhile. I read a lot about him, his issues. I converted Philip. I truly believe he is who/ what we need right now in our country. I know we are entitled to our own views but at least read up on him with an open mind. Ok enough politicking.

I wish my husband and mother in law would take the "let's not talk about politics" vow when they're with each other. You're right--it can turn into a very awkward situation for the people having the conversation, or in the case of Mike and his mom, it ends up being very awkward for me.
