This is scary

From a news report today on McCain's latest attack on Obama:

Kathie Steigerwald, a Dearborn, Mich. businesswoman who said she voted for Hillary Clinton but now plans to support McCain, offered an especially succinct recital of a narrative on which other interviewees offered numerous variations:

"I feel John McCain is a true American and I want to support a true American," she said.

But isn't Obama a "true American?" she was asked.

"I don't know," she said after a measured pause. "I question it."

Why?

"I don't know — maybe because of his name?"

Mother of Mary - is this how stupid people are in this country??  His name sounds different so he obviously can't be a REAL American!

I've got news for Ms. Steigerwald - there was a time in this country when someone with her last name would not have been considered a "real American".  How would she like them apples?

I really fear for the future of this country.  I honestly do.
