Very nice encounter just a little while ago! [View all]

I was at a local strip mall on the way home from work. I was just getting back to the call when a young woman in her early 20's walked by, pointed to my "Obama 2012" bumper sticker and said, "I love your bumper sticker! Aren't you relieved?" Told her I am very much relieved and thrilled by the election results. She remarked that she takes a lot of shit from her right-wing family for being an Obama supporter and just had to compliment me. I told her I was glad to see someone young so engaged in politics and that it was great of her to support Obama despite the family pressure. She actually gave me a big hug and said, Thank you so much for voting!"
