That I do. Through all the hateful bile he has maintained his dignity and sense of humor and remained focussed on making lives of all Americans a little better.
And much to the dismay of his many enemies, he endures.
It is too unfortunate that Obama will never have the success that LBJ had with his Great Society. That is because Congress is totally different today and the Republicans are racially against the president, and thus anything he tries to accomplish. The populace may be more racially segregated today than it was in LBJ's time and thus elect members to Congress who will support the white wealthy men. I will never understand why so many vote against their own interests to improve the middle class, non-whites, and women. The Democratic Party should be sweeping candidates into office given the present circumstances, but it just isn't happening.
Being difficult to vote at the polls, I have requested absentee ballots for the past several years. Thanks to the Republicans in the NC state house this year, I had to jump through all kinds of hoops to fill out the "special" absentee ballot request form, and that is only for the primary election; I will have to do it all over again for the general election in November. NC has been so badly gerrymandered by the Republicans, that they can now control the governorship, and both houses of the state legislature. And that gerrymandering has been ruled "legal." Democracy is DEAD in the USA!!!
Your comments are welcome if they are positive and/or helpful. If they are simply a tirade or opinionated bullshit, they will be removed, so don't waste your time, or mine.
the teabagistanis cannot stand the fact that a black man is in the seat of power. it's racial h8, pure and simple.
