African American

Is what Hekate posted. I had to google it.

So sorry about all this.

I am utterly grateful to that man. He's set the standard for civil servants Forever. It's pathetic that this nation could not just accept his incredibly competent service; he was required to be the rock upon which the Ship Of Stupids cracked itself open. My resentment for his treatment will not end in my lifetime.

There is no similar narrative in American History. I look on him as the Founding Father of everything good that will come to this nation after this. He didn't just survive, or bear up -- he transformed us all forever.

Grateful. I am so grateful for Barack Obama.

Many of the commenters were engaging in standard internet thoughtlessness, elevating themselves through critical snark by saying things they would never say in your physical presence. Just trash-talking without thinking at all.

Thanks for your presence, and for this thread.
