Why I'm Ready for President Obama to Leave the White House

[MichiganVote]

22. Seems to be on me too then b/c I have found these 8 years to be very ugly.

I don't think the poster was implying the BO needed anyone's protection. I expect he fully expected exactly what he got. But like most people who overstay their welcome at a party, all of us would have liked BO to stay and the bigots to leave.

I cannot take credit for the shame that this country has endured at the hands of half wit republican legislators and other government officials who have traded in patriotism for bigotry.

They should be ashamed and they know who they are and what they have done. They have not diminished President Obama but they did diminish the office of the presidency. They have diminished the constitutional ideals of the United States as surely as the men and women who once hung black men b/c they were hateful human beings.

Its too bad that in this country of so many gifts, our tax money is assumed to pay for the misplaced bigoted ideals of the few in place of the beauty and strength of the many.
