Dear President Obola:
The distrusted is not between the police and the communities of color. It’s between the American people and you.
Guess that means he will tax those that back Darren Wilson.
Sure that is not ‘smoldering distrust’ after he burns the place down?
All this is the result of the Obola presidency.
Yep - he wants that simmer to turn into a boil.
Actually, I think you have yer figgers reversed. $200MILL to 0Bola, $53MILL “to the communities.”
They are the throwback communities that haven't yet become diversified. Evidently that's good if they are all Black, but bad if they are over 27% White...
Yes, we can all let of a little steam if/when that happens.
