(20,450 posts)does, it'll never be good enough. It's what we call "The Black Tax". This man has had to work 10 times harder than any other president in history---cleaning up the bullshit left by Bush II, Clinton I and II, and Bush I...way back to Reagan. The policies they put in place took decades to manifest into what we see today. Bush I, II and Clinton era policies sent jobs overseas, and look what has happened to industrial cities like Baltimore. Why is the unemployment rate among black people higher than it was before Obama took office? Had nothing to do with Obama or his policies, but yet, he's still blamed.
I believe that much of the hate, disrespect, and blame directed at this president IS due to his skin color.
No one will ever shut me up on this. I will keep saying it over and over again.
