I am 40 years old.I have 3 house and I am debt free.I have 3 children and 2 grandchildren.Yes I am African American.My 2 grandchildren are biracial and so is my Dad.We are in South Carolina, one of the highest unemployed state in the USA.None of us are unemployed that means my parents and my two brothers and their wives and children. Since, President Obama has been in office he has caught more hell than any other President.It's not like the country was handed to him on a bed of roses. The country was in bad shape before he took office.I have heard people say assassinate him. My Dad said that statement was made to Martin Luther King, President Kennedy, and Robert Kennedy.They all were working for a change.You all need to check the qualification to be a USA citizen.If I leave this country today and have a baby tomorrow in another country without changing my citizenship to another country. Guess what? My baby will still be a USA citizen and still will be able to run for President in USA in the near future.McCain was not born in USA.Obama's Mother never change her citizenship from the USA. So, he is qualified to run for any office of the USA.The best part of all of this is President Obama won the election and no one can do nothing about it.In this country if you have a small percentage of Black blood you are black. My Dad is 50% black and he still had to attend Black schools during the 1950's and 1960's.My Dad was not allowed to attend any white school in South Carolina because he was half white.All the hate and digging in to the President's business is racial,because no one never dug into Bush's business until Obama ran for President.All the racial slurs that was thrown up along time a go they are back now,but Thank God that blacks still have opportunities.I believe in the Almighty God,and when I pray to him the devil must flee.Our family stand on Christ the Rock.We are still working, we help people in need in our community and we always pray for the President.
HE gets way too much coverage. i feel sad that a person of his distinction has lowered himself to these depths of degrredation. He is dilusional at best, psycopathic and lives in his GRANDEUR world that NOT contain Michelle and daughters. A SUPREME NARCISSIST HE embodies his youthful degredations and blames the WHITE Society and he is OUTRAGED INTERNALLY for being born Black...and from his true parents. He has the gift of convincing followers of his sincerity. He is just a TEMPORARY FIGURE IN OUR HISTORY. It will stake Decades to undo the damage he will cause. I HOPE, our country will come forth and Exorcise him from our society in the near future. He has crossed the line for IMPEACHMENT...butj that cannot take place....yet. See what happens in the next 18 months. Americans have become FORGIVING and PASSIVE, AND THEY JUST WWANT BAD THINGS TO JUST GO AWAY.Wake up call is due...They will get their TAX BILLS, AND THEY WILL SUFFER Healthcare SHORTAGES AND MAJOR EXPENSES. HE WILL NEVER APOLOGIZE. hE WILL BLAME "EVERYONE ELSE" AND CALL IT A SYSTEM FAILURE . Will you believe that? Probably, as does the OSTRITCH continue to bury his head. I am a SAD AMERICAN VERERAN.
