I will, however, give him credit for being able to take the entire Republican base’s revulsion to the idea of a black Democrat as president and somehow make it the black guy’s fault for being black and a Democrat.
It is always Obama’s fault. If he walked on water they would complain that he splashed them, I continue to be proud to have voted for him.
