he needs us more than ever.

This was not entirely unexpected. I've seen repeatedly where formerly under-represented segments of society (people of color; immigrants; women; LGBTQ) first break through, they are met with the most resistance and resentment from the neanderthal descendants.

I expect Pres. O. is not that surprised. It is his family, whom I cringe for.

On the other hand, it is clear that evolution left the Tea Partiers behind. Maybe that's why they deny it!
