We do not own him.
He does not, and I argue, he should not need to, nor need to seek to get white people to approve of him.
President Obama does not serve us full time. That he chooses to take some of his time to advocate for some causes that we want him to advocate for is *his* choice, not ours.
Part of me almost wants him to go earn boatloads of money in ways that some of his fiercest critics here don't approve of, if only to prove to them, that *they* are not the ones who get to choose what Obama does. In his actions now, they do not need to matter. They certainly appear to matter to Obama, but *reminder* they don't *need* to matter.
He owes you, he owes us *nothing*. He completed his term as President, with distinction, and has well-earned the right to ignore his critics.
