....Obama is finally tackling the issue of race that he artfully dodged in his first term.

And now we know why. While he was thrust into the issue at times in his first administration, such as at the infamous “Beer summit,” Obama treaded lightly because he didn’t want to scare off white voters or energize the Tea Party during his reelection.

“They did not want to amplify race because they knew that they were going to rile up certain segments of society, particularly the Tea Party and people who don’t care for him much or for the issue much,” said April Ryan, White House correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks...

“I have got to now take in the moment because when he’s gone, he’s gone,” said Ryan. “I will probably cry when he leaves, not because I like him or anything, and that’s not even the case. I’m a reporter,” she added.

And some have expressed doubts about my claims that MSM reporters lie far, far, FAR to the left of the Bell curve. (Just to left of Dorkbama.)

I will probably cry when he leaves, too.

Tears of joy.

I will cry when Obama leaves also, but they will be tears of joy as I watch president-elect Scott Walker step in to clean up the mess.

When all else is falling apart, look over here at the old tried and worn out issue: Race.

And .. if that happens, I hope Scott appoints Ted Cruz to Attorney General .. and lets him clean house over there.

Otherwise .. the racial divide will get larger and larger .. because Obama has but one goal .. destroy America the way he believe America has destroyed the world.

Obama’s view is so illogical .. but it’s based on being raised by Communists; Marxists; Socialists; and liberals. Their view is so distorted .. they cannot govern.

I will cry when he leaves office when I think of the absolute mess he and his co-conspirators have left, and at the fact that the lefties secretly hope an adult comes along to clean up the mess so they don’t have to suffer the consequences of their stupidity.

How exactly would Cruz “clean house” at the Supreme Court? He’s one of nine votes.

Attorney General, the Justice department, not SCOTUS.

Agreed. Unfortunately, attorney general has never been a path to president so I doubt Cruz would take it.

While he was thrust clumsily inserted himself into the issue at times in his first administration, such as at the infamous “Beer summit,” and the just shooting of Trayvon Martin...
