I had an interesting conversation with a new client of mine today. She is originally from Iran; she came to the U.S. a little over thirty years ago.
We got to talking about the upcoming election and she had something very interesting to say. When we begin speaking about Obama her entire demeanor changed. She said that Senator Obama reminded her of why she left Iran when she was in her twenties. She said his speech, although educated in what he says, was in many ways identical to what was being said during the revolution in Iran in her younger years. She went on to say she has reason to fear what Obama and his supporters could do to this country if they were in fact to find themselves in power. She said that in her thirty plus years here in the U.S. that Obama’s philosophies are in her opinion the most un-American and potentially damaging that she's heard since leaving Iran.
Now I am not an Obama supporter, but after hearing what an Immigrant form Iran had to say about him, someone from a country that hates America perhaps more then any other, it really strikes fear into ones heart as to what could come to pass if those like Obama do in fact find themselves in the most powerful position in the world.
There was a lot more to the conversation, but that was the main point. Just food for thought...I'm sure many hear will disagree, but thankfully, we're still allowed to do that...at least for the moment.
