I seriously just think old people get a free pass. They've paid their dues they've lived their lives and they are who they are.

I was in line at the grocery shortly after the election. I was chatting with this sweet little elderly lady behind me. It was quite a nice little chat until she broke out this little gem- "I've noticed they are hiring so many more black people lately- it must be because of Obama". It caught me off guard and I guess I was standing there with my mouth open and then she said- "I don't have any problem with it of course, I was just noticing". So I said of of course, and I let it go. Now if that had been someone of my generation it would be a totally different story. I know we are talking about a public speaker and not a lady at the grocery and I would guess if his prayer had been pre-approved it would not have made it as written but you know- he's an old guy and he's probably dealt with too many women like that "nice little old lady" in his life.

I still chuckle a little thinking of that woman. Did she think Obama sent out an emergency memo to all of the grocery stores?
