Liberal Friend, Conservative Logic

Apparently, I HAVE A LIBERAL FRIEND. Ya, I’m as shocked as you are. His name is Peter. And he’s pretty cool. A lot of fun, and he’s smart. I probably should have known, though, because he’s good at working with government.
Anyhow, he stopped by my office today to ask me how things were going, what was up, etc. We talked about how business is slow and about how much I hate Obama’s policies. He got a strained look on his face. Now, I didn’t mention before, but Peter is black. And I’ve never really thought about it before, because I didn’t think it mattered. I knew he was supporting Obama during the election, but his reasons were pretty reasonable and it never seemed to me like it was an ideological or racial issue. Peter’s just not like that.
Anyway, I couldn’t ignore THE LOOK. So I said, “All right. What could you POSSIBLY still like about this man?” He’s a reasonable person; I really wanted to know. I think he was afraid to answer, so I kept poking him, of course.
