I’m starting to think that Obama should have made his wife VP.

Let’s just get it out. They are a black family.
Now that we are being honest, can we really trust a black family to lead the United States of America?
Can we put aside those Republican expressed fears that (as Fox News called her) Obama’s Baby Mama will:
-Decorate the White House in the Jamaican Red Black & Green.
-Smoke ganja & dance to voodoo music in the Lincoln bedroom?
-Declare that all running must be performed barefoot?
-Create the independent black nations of Detroit & Compton?
-Make the Dashiki part of a new Afrocentric dress code?
-Name P-Diddy the Secretary of Music?
-Make watermelon the national fruit?
For those Americans who have read Republican blogs and posts meant to frighten you, there’s good news. This lovely mother Michelle Obama and her two darling daughters are just as American as me and you, with the same values of love of country, and the same dreams for her girls as you have for your children. She is a devoted wife who is truly inspired by her husband’s leadership and still sincerely in love with him. She is someone who has pulled herself up from her bootstraps to make her parents proud with a degree from none other than Harvard University.
Don’t be afraid of the elephant mirage in the room that no one talks about in polite conversation, but that Republicans whisper in their sinister blogs. Don’t let misinformation fool you into four more years of Republican economic failure.
If some rich kid can’t spend a trillion dollars right, it’s time we give someone a chance who is from a family that has to balance a budget each month…. like the rest of us.
Yes, They Are Black, we can say it. It’s not a bad word. Their blackness is nothing to be afraid of. The Obamas aren’t an anomaly either. There are black families everywhere who are good decent, hard working American people. For all the failed policies that have destroyed
