84. I find that funny - let me tell you why

Aug 2014

The narrative has been for a few years that he " hates white people". There has been no condemnation from the IndieTeaPublican leadership - so in that case . . . Silence is NOT golden.

In this case, it is. I tried explaining to someone at DU this weekend that this President and AG have to proceed with caution. Because the IndieTeaPublucan leadership has let the worst of the meme stand - they must proceed with caution.

I will be sad the day President Obama leaves office.
I will be thrilled six months later when his memoir comes out.

And his Presidential Library? I will donate money for a specific display - the one that shows the images of the hatefulness he has endured. I want the witch doctor picture in that display. It's up there with the little kids at the lynching picture 90 some odd years ago.

It's a slice of imagery that shows a segment of Americans as they were.
