It amazes me that there are people out there who
are so clueless.
I went to get my hair trimmed and had a very nice African American stylist. I mentioned how tired I was because I stayed up until President Obama gave his speech. I was sad to hear that this lady did not vote because she didn't know anything about either candidate and if she had voted for President Obama it would have been because he was black. This lady had no clue of all the accomplishments that the President was able to achieve in his first term. I explained to her about the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the fight for women's health rights, Obamacare, etc. How can anybody live in the 21st Century and not understand the world they live in and actively participate in our elections?
