President Obama was not perfect,

but, damn, was he ever good. Not a big fan of the background music here, but thanks to Rachel Maddow for the narration and recap of what was an effective administration FOR THE PEOPLE!

a white man then turned black when he became president. I don't get it she is one of the nicest persons I have ever known.
But she goes to a local evangelical church and is in the Trump cult. She dated one white guy for 8 years, then broke up and
married another white guy 2 or 3 years ago. She seems to hate her own race. I don't get it you have the Log Cabin Republicans
and some gay (R) elected officials that hate gays.
