Politics According to an 87 year old chinese lady

I recently asked my grandmother, who is 87 years old and barely speaks English, whether she watched the NCAA finals. Usually an avid ESPN watcher, she surprised me by saying "What NCAA final?" She then chuckled and said, "To tell you the truth, I haven't been watching sports lately. I've just been watching Hilary and Obama fight on TV! And it's SO much fun!"

I asked her about her opinion of the canditates and she gave me her synopsis of all the issues and the debates that were going on.

"I really like Obama. His face is so good to look at! His mouth, when he smiles, it's like the sun is going to come out! But Hilary, she's always shaking hands and signing papers, shaking hands and signing papers."
