It would sure be lovely if we could move past the race issue. It'll happen, I believe, but anytime soon. We have a VERY smart and aware President. He knew what he was getting into....to a point anyway. I remember hearing or reading about how when he told Michelle he wanted to run, she said "NOOOO...don't do it! People are MEAN"....
Well, he did it, and did it again..history, I believe will be kinder to this President that waaay too many are right now. He's made history. And I was proud to be a little part of the making...
Happy Holidays and Peace to you and your family!
