I have seen how, no matter what kind of ugliness is going on at any particular moment, Barack always stays the course” she told the young folks at the historically black college. “Yet, too often, instead of acknowledging or celebrating this change, we have a tendency to focus on conflict and controversy. We pay endless attention to folks who are blocking action, blocking judges, blocking immigration, blocking a raise in the minimum wage — just blocking. We are consumed with the anger and vitriol that are bubbling up, with folks shouting at each other, using hateful and divisive language! Charges that he doesn’t love our country. The time he was called a liar in front of a Joint Session of Congress. The nonstop questions about his birth certificate and his belief in God” she continued, in a not-so-subtle shot at the conservatives who have spent the last eight years trying to tear down the President and slander every one of his remarkable achievements – which President Obama always rises above. He is consistently the better man and shows true leadership by refusing to address the nonsense and the racial hate that gets thrown at him every day, and we will miss the Obamas terribly when they must step down.
