55. Civil War reconstruction

should have ended 100 years ago. The slave states keep their Congressmen and Senators for life. This gives them seniority that they parlay into committee chairs that determine the legislation to be brought up for debate and passage, and in many cases funnelling money to the Confederacy.
It's time to partition the country and let the Repubics have the slave states.
Obama's big mistakes were letting corrupt bankers loot the Treasury with impunity and letting war profiteers like Halliburton and Blackwater escape prosecution. Every time he reached across the aisle he pulled back a bloody stump. To say what they did happened in the past and we have to look forward is naive. All crimes happen in the past.
