the Republicans might not have even gained control of the House in 2010 in the first place and we would've had a jobs bill and a balanced budget long ago. One would think that the GOP and the bigots in general wouldn't have been so harsh towards him considering that he is 1/2 white, but nope. One drop rule. I'm left wondering if this country will ever elect another black president after how they've treated this one. If we do get another one, for the love of God don't let it be someone like Herman Cain or Ben Carson.
