Bam, the conservative/plutocratic agenda hits a snag. Conservatism truly is a mental disorder. Because all "blacks" want those tennis shoes, and all "blacks" want to vote?
So, in other words, the entire government should grind to a halt just because Republicans hate Obama? Mental disorder indeed.
"Blacks" have killed for those sneakers (not tennis shoes). How many "blacks" would kill for the opportunity to vote?
To be fair there is a whole generation of blacks who marched for the right to vote. Several of these were killed, many were injured. Many blacks who participated in this civil rights struggle are aghast at what the current generation of younger blacks represent and their poor values & choices.
Not having your favorite policies enacted is not having the government "grind to a halt." You and Obama seem very confused about our system of government. The Constitution is not a set of suggestions. Obama is not a king or dictator. We have gridlock from time to time. Every republican president had to deal with it.
