Jan 2014

then I am utterly horrified.

I don't find this surprising. How many other countries have ever elected a member of a racial minority as head of state or head of government?

And how many would call their elected President every foul name in the book? And call for him to be lynched! They disrespect him, not just the teabaggers yet members of congress.

That is just sad.
