If you believe that one, I got a bridge I’d like to sell you.
Obama has once again has proven for all to see that he will quickly turn his back on any ally given the slightest of pretense. And if you are a minority ally–well all the better and quicker.
Seems being a President to the conservative white Americans in this country will always be much more of a pressing issue for this most duplicitous of a man than any real desires for representing minority interests (IE. black,Hispanics).
It is what it is–and we all just got another glaring example of it this last two days.
