I am not sure whether she is insane, ignorant or just lying. Maybe it's a combination of all three.

Here's my favorite: "I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under another Democrat president, Jimmy Carter. And I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence."

And of course, she's referring to the events of 1976, when Gerald Ford was president. I think it's pretty funny that she says it's "just an interesting coincidence." Even if it were true, how on earth is that interesting OR a coincidence? What would motivate a person to think like that? Oh, there's a major outbreak of a virus... I wonder if it correlates with the political party of the president? WHAT?!
