Today’s driver, Terry, has always hated Obama. Everything about Obama goes against the grain with him, all of Obama’s policies suck, Obama destroyed the economy and caused 270 Walmarts to close.

This is one of the reasons I really liked hitchhiking when I had to move between towns every week. People can be surprisingly interesting (especially truckers, who often are a mix of very-well travelled and mostly uneducated), and the ones who pick up strangers for no personal gain are generally straightforwardly pleasant folk to boot.
