Yeah how about that. Who would want to live in Putin's Russia? That makes the stupid comments by Republicans holding Putin up as some great leader even more embarrassing. He's ruining his country's economy and invading his neighbors, imprisoning and confiscating his enemy's riches and killing opponents.

Because Americans are dumb.....really ****ing dumb. I live in the South and it boogles my mind that so many of these people are allowed to reproduce.

I live in Georgia down below Macon and I can tell you these people had Bush/Cheney sign all over their lawns. They are so blind to the facts. They vote against their own interests every time. They refused to take the Medicaid expansion and all these hospitals are closing. STUPID. People don't know it, but Red States are the ones that take the most Gov't assistance and they get it from the Blue States they hate so much.

+1. I'm on the other side, 1.5 hours north of ATL and it's the same deal.

Why don't you have any political conviction? There is so little middle ground politically that I don't understand people that can vote across party lines.

P.S., by what magic spell was Obama going to unite a nation that has never been united?

150 yrs??? You went too far back. I still have relatives living who went thru all of the Jim Crow era crap. My grandparents and father and mother are still alive. Heck my wife's grandmother died recently at 94.

The recent issues are not Obama's fault. That's white backlash and the system this country has had since it started enslaving people. They started with the Slave Catchers who policed the Slaves as they moved through town and that just continued to be the stance towards Blacks. To control them and subjugate them and maintain White Supremacy. Nothing has changed in all this time. My family has been here since the 1750's and for most of our time in this country we've been mistreated. If not for the fact that we escaped poverty and got educated, we might still be falling victim to the full force of this racist system. We still deal with it, but not the full force of it like some do.

yea im gonna take your word. Things aren't perfect.

However you must've missed the hipocracy of the whole thing all over the country. Saw it first hand here in NYC

What hippocrisy are you talking about? The one where unarmed Black men get killed by the police but the victims are somehow portrayed as the villains of the story? It's always ironic to me how people can justify that but never acknowledge how gun-totting, mass murderers who are Caucasian manage to get captured alive (see John Holmes).
