issue.

For the first time ever the House refused to hold hearings on a president's budget.

Pure, unadulterated, racism.

And 90% of resistance from the Republicans in the House and Senate is not only about his skin color - but all black people.

I will never forget the insults I have heard from some of my fellow whites about Barack Obama.

And yet deny it. Why? They know it's wrong.

Won't call them out. Calling them out takes the people that voted for them to task too.

Amen, again. ( from my seat here in the choir loft )

...just once, I would love to see him stand at a press conference and say,"It's because I'm black, isn't it?" and have that be it.

They are bigots, representing the truly hateful of this country.

I never thought they made any effort to cover up what it really was which makes the silence of the media and dems even more deplorable. Although the mouth-breathers in the republican base would have rejoiced to hear their racism publicized...they are proud of it.

From Mitch McConnell saying that his goal was to make Obama a one term president to blocking his legislative agenda across the board to the fake birther controversy, the Republicans have had it in for this president from the get-go. But in addition to the racism, there is another scary thing about them that I first noticed when Bill Clinton won his first election as president: they honestly believe that they are entitled to govern this country, and that Democrats aren't "real Americans," as the then-chairman of the Republican party said at their convention.

So not only are they racist (and misogynistic, let's not for get that) they also are profoundly undemocratic and authoritarian. The Republican party was not always this bad but it is now off-the-charts crazy, and the rise of Trump is the outcome of the decades they have spent pandering to the looniest, most bigoted and paranoid elements in the country, all the while stirring up working class and middle class people's resentment and anger against those who are the most vulnerable members of our society, instead of the most rapaciously rich and powerful.

At least that is my interpretation of the political situation we find ourselves in. God help us all!

So the people that need to hear it won't. But this article is old???

No one IN THIS WORLD expects for them to start cooperating with the man now. If the entire country has to grind to halt due to their intransigence, they've proven that they are all too happy with that and have been for seven years.

Of the Obama Admin with a racist asshole leading the Republican primary, foaming at the mouth bigots supporting the asshole - and I don't have heaven05 here to tell it like it is.

In his absence - I intend to call it Amerikkka every chance I get - because mom (HRC) and dad (Sanders) FANs are fighting and if they don't wake up and get their shit together we are going to wind up with Hitler for a step dad.
