    I’m starting to think that Obama should have made his wife VP.

    Let’s just get it out. They are a black family.

    Now that we are being honest, can we really trust a black family to lead the United States of America?

    Can we put aside those Republican expressed fears that (as Fox News called her) Obama’s Baby Mama will:

    Yes, They Are Black, we can say it. It’s not a bad word. Their blackness is nothing to be afraid of. The Obamas aren’t an anomaly either. There are black families everywhere who are good decent, hard working American people. For all the failed policies that have destroyed
