Thank you~ you are right.

The Toon is great...

The Clown (do we know a Repuke by any other name) is the leading GOP Presidential contender! Defining moment for their party.


I prefer this man!

For a time there, in the 90's, I though we were getting to a place were the racists were too ashamed to admit their racism, especially in public, by opening their mouths to spew their hate... but ever since 2000, it seems the racist have been given a pass, which I blame entirely on republican leaders and their ilk in the media, especially on hate radio.

Since Obama has been elected by a large majority of Americans it seems to have pushed them right over the edge, and as someone from an interracial family it literally makes me sick some days, but I greatly admire the courage, strength, and grace of Obama and Michelle, they are VERY inspirational in my home!

I am very happy to be here

They really are a very handsome couple, which makes it hard finding the picture, as they are all usually sooooo good. Yep, they are a beautiful family, and their daughters take right after their parents, simply beautiful!

Glad you're here!

VERY nice photo! I love those. They are a very cute couple, and you can tell from all the photographic evidence that they still truly love - and LIKE - each other. Having been married since 1976, I can tell you what a difference it makes when you can say you actually like the guy.

"racists were too ashamed to admit their racism, especially in public, by opening their mouths to spew their hate."
I saw something extremely disturbing a few days ago. An old HS classmate once had a crush on an African American student. When we were in college, she had fallen for a Mormon guy. I remember her mentioning that he had some racist leanings and that it bothered her. She married the guy and 20 yrs later one of her FB likes pops up... YomamaObamacare.

It's not worth my time to question it. I'm sure she had no racist intent. I don't know her enough now to know how deep it is, but whatever the degree she now has permission to not consider the possibility when she see shit like that.
