Maybe Al and Jesse should get off the I’m-a-victim bandwagon, stitch the black family back together, and tell them that education matters if they want to rise above poverty. Of course, those two, and most politicians, want to keep blacks right where they are: dependent on gov’t.
Great! Then all is well? Everyone is happy? Now what to do with those pesky privileged white folk?
So what is all the complaining about?
By the way: what they’re saying is: the economy under Obama is finally back to where it was under the eeeeeeevil Bush. Six+ years in.
