A fair shake for all, I like that Mr President.

I really do like this man. for a lot of reasons and one is that he has shown me that the color of ones skin or the nationality of someone don't mean shit. Let me say that at one time in my life I was a racist even though at the time I didn't realize to what degree I was but I can say today I've changed and no longer see my fellow man as an enemy just because of what his religion is, where he came from or what the color of his skin is. For that, to me, this President is the best thing thats happened to me in my lifetime. I'm not having to carry that heavy cross of hate any longer. I'm free at last and I got there not by dying but by opening up my mind to what I now understand as what is right. dm

and Massive Investor Fraud while Millions of American Working Class families loose their life savings and are literally tossed out into the streets - homeless

Sounds like a "Fair Shake-Down" to me

The only place I read that is here on du so I don't have a clue. Usually its the posters who openly don't like the President who post shit like that too so I give up, you tell me.
Peace at any rate

Off topic to damper any Obama enthusiasm. Now you guys really are advocating for voting against the President.

That malfunction at the sight of any good news and must spew hate and gloom even if it's completely off-topic.

8. Two parts to a fair shake

Those that follow the rules have a reasonable chance of succeeding.

Those that don't, have a reasonable chance of failing.

The bankers aren't being punished. They got big bonuses with our money.
The torturers aren't being punished. The president "has their backs".
