Don't listen to the "hate America first" crowd that's infested this site. They're no different than the TeaBaggers on the AlwaysWrongRight - and share many things in common including, but not limited to, deep dislike for Obama and Democrats, fear of Big Gubmint, freedumbs, American sell-outs, and propagandists that have been proven to have lied time and again, and they're focused on taking this president down.

However, I'll voice my opinion that I might have to disagree with a part of your post.

Ever since the rightwing in SCOTUS gutted the VRA, Republican controlled states immediately instituted egregious voter laws intended to suppress the Democratic vote, and there just might be a less peaceful transfer of power in the next coming years. Corporate America has the money and the clout, and is hellbent on usurping this wonderful government to replace it with small fiefdoms {Corporations} headed by kings {CEOs}, and the loud fringe on both extreme sides of the political spectrum are being fooled into doing their bidding. We must be vigilant so that they don't succeed.

Thank you for taking the time to post.
