” - - - “Peoples and nations grow stronger, and build a foundation for a more just and tolerant future, by acknowledging and reckoning with painful elements of the past,” the president added. “We continue to learn this lesson in the United States, as we strive to reconcile some of the darkest moments in our own history.” - - - “

HEY! B. Hussein! Yeah, YOU!

If what you want is to be “just and tolerant” as you said in the above quote, then why did you make us slaves of your MANDATORY Obamacare?
