I have been avoiding business’s and charities that have anything to do with Mr. Neutral or his charming ball and chain period. So I do like it when they highlight the players in Mr. Nuetrals plans I just add them to my loooooooooooong list.
And why is only for black people?

Unfortunately, Obama’s “my brothers’ keeper” refers to the local jailer
To: funfan
And why is only for black people? Obama knows that he gets his biggest bang for the buck when he wraps anything in race.
