My boss "watched a few minutes" of the SOTU
So, I asked, "Which few minutes and what did you hear?"
Him, "I don't remember. It's all just words. He hasn't done anything and I don't expect him to."
Me, "He hasn't done anything? Okay. But, when you say you don't expect him to, do you mean that you expect him to try, but he'll run into GOP obstruction on even the most basic and simple bills?"
Him, "I don't know what you're talking about."
My boss "thinks" he's a Libertarian (he has no clue what it means). I told him that when I was little, the SOTU was damn near the only thing on except for PBS. My father made me watch it and discuss it when it was over. I told my boss that it's a shame that people just don't give a shit anymore and, yet, they're still allowed to vote.
He just shrugged his shoulders. 
This is the same guy that doesn't pay any attention to politics until "two or three weeks before an election" and then bitches for the rest of the year.
I need a damned hug...or a drink. Has anyone else had this experience today?
= new reply since forum marked as read
Since I'm the boss of me....
Anyways, here is your hug, 
He's not really an asshole, just uninformed. I push him to pay closer attention and sometimes it works. Other times, I just get really irritated and tell him to make sure he votes third party. 
watch Fox News. Some liberals will watch MSNBC. Each group gets their information. Somewhere in the middle people need to open up their minds. Although I have to say people who watch MSNBC watch other news outlets and get information. How can we start to talk with the other side if they won't even listen because right off the bat they are calling you socialist, commies etc.
