Just a note, as a social “liberal” I’m fed up with the mobs defending criminals, bad cops, Sharpton, Limbaugh, and both left and right wing “media”. It boils down however to a populace hoodwinked by too much stupidity for too many years, starting with the swing to the far right from Reagan on, but not helped by “lefties” with the same penchant for rhetoric instead of viable actions and options, which have been totally absent from anything McConnell and Boehner have come up with either.
Obama has screwed up some too, usually when he’s given in to the “right”, like keeping Gitmo open, or some bad environmental decisions, but the “racial divide” is clearly, and absolutely based in hatreds that surpass mere “political divides”, as both Republicans, AND a lot of “old school” Democrats had the same simple problem with him.
A lot of old stained sheets came out of closets, and it wasn’t Obama bringing ’em out.
