(31,384 posts)But he's one man. He can't control Congress. He can only do what
the Executive Branch is allowed to do.
But my point is that he is an intelligent, good, kind, caring man who wants
to help the most people he can in this country. He happens to be bi-racial--
which in this country, means black. People in southern states who supported Bill Clinton would not support Obama.
Look at the electoral college results I posted up thread. Why? I used to tell hubby that I thought of
Obama as a white guy in a dark skin. He's not from the projects, he grew
up with white grandparents from Kansas for god's sake, and went to the best schools--
a well known private school in Hawaii and Columbia and Harvard Law.
I just want people to go see the movie. White people need to know that Gone With the Wind
was not the black perspective.
