I am truly saddened. That America kills it's black and poor citizens with impunity is fact. That America TRIES to destroy the soul of a black person with vitriolic racist hate and disrespect is fact. That amerikkka's right wing and some on the left has caused immeasurable harm to the first AA POTUS and this country is fact. From inauguration day until this very day there have been racist forces in huge numbers that have made it their sworn duty to make sure that the legacy of President Obama is smeared, wrongfully, just so they can point and say, "look, look he was ineffective, feeble and their favorite INFERIOR because he is a ......! They won't say that last word out loud but the intent is perfectly clear.

I will NEVER again, in any capacity wish anything but grief for the racists of this country. There is no saving them. Fux news, politicos like McConnell and the scum of the RW hate radio crowd has made politics and the diversity that american citizens had untenable. This country deserves nothing but scorn and mockery heaped upon it by the citizens of the world.

We here at DU and a few other sights that have impartial and fair views are made to look and sound, by the RW media slant, powerless in the face of the fascist, racist republican juggernaut. Here at DU we have been a bastion against these forces and because of that I still may have a very small hope for change. I will have to search my heart and soul for it. But RW and fascist corporate power and money is immense in this country and because of that fact, I fear america is lost to these forces. Don't get me wrong I will resist yet I feel somewhat like what my father told me he felt at the Chosin Reservoir in the Korean conflict of the early 50's when the Chinese entered the combat there. Overwhelmed.

FOR SIX long years there has been total and complete shutdown of our government only because our POTUS has brown skin and a lot of democrats lacked courage to stand up to these forces of hate. And yes when JOE WILSON screamed out LIAR during that first SOU address, that was a shot louder than the cannons at FT. Sumpter. Yes dear folks we have been in the 2nd civil war complete with military(ized) troops(police) roaming the streets of amerikkka killing indiscriminately anyone opposed to the racist and fascist nature of this amercan culture. I think sometimes I'm going to have to stand in front of those armored vehicles like that lone soul during the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Although here, chances are they would roll right over me.

President Obama, to his immense credit, has made it possible for people to have access to healthcare that previously were shut out because of cost and has gotten other legislation passed. No doubt this will be his legacy. Although let us never forget the RW has tried to shutdown ACA FIFTY times just because it helps poor people. The RW has HURT americans just to hurt the legacy of this President by shutting down the government and consistently denying help to the poor and veterans who really need it.

When President Obama leaves offices these RW scum and their media mouthpieces will crow about how they made this an ineffective presidency. I can hear them now and it won't be pretty. What these folks don't understand though is that will only shine lights on the darkness of their souls and the racist hate that emanates from their hearts.

THANK YOU EgbertoWillis. I needed your objective analysis this morning.
