So, the gist of this article is that the majority of Americans don’t want to be governed by a black man.  I don’t want to split hairs, and maybe I’m not “politically correct”, but he’s not just black, or African American, or whatever. He’s a child of bi-racial, or multi-racial, or pick your phrase, parents, so I suppose, in a way, that makes him more like me and millions of other Americans than most would reckon.  His particular mix is different than mine, but we’re all mixed up… but I digress, and for the sake of simplicity, I’ll stick with black.  A MAJORITY of Americans voted him into office to govern them.  His racial status hasn’t changed since taking office, but two years into his first term, America decided they wanted to change the make-up of Congress, and this fidiot Congressman claims it’s because the majority of Americans don’t want to be governed by a black man.

I’m pretty sure it had more to do with the policies that CONGRESS passed.  Let’s keep this in mind:  The President cannot legislate.  He can’t pass laws.  He can come up with proposals and push ideas that he wants to see legislated, but his only part in that is the signature approving what Congress passed, or vetoing it.  In a big, nasty love fest that happened after The President was elected, he and Congress passed a number of articles of legislation that the majority of Americans didn’t/don’t like.  They were forewarned by the gazillion pollsters that the majority didn’t want these passed, but they didn’t care… and they passed the legislation and sent them to The President, and he signed them.  The majority didn’t like their voices not being heard so they voted some of those deaf peeps from Congress out when they got the chance.

Now, there are a lot of folks not happy with what The President wants to do and/or has done and it wouldn’t be a shocker at all if he gets voted out of office at the end of his first term.  The same things that got a lot of Congress removed from office make him unpopular, and there aren’t any indications that he’s going to reverse course anytime soon.  So, if he gets voted out of office, it’ll be due to his decisions on what to pass and veto and a myriad of other things, but not because he’s black.  That hasn’t changed since the election.

As for the fidiot Congressman from Virginia, Rep. Moran needs to go back to school and learn how to build a logical argument.  Who gets voted in and out of Congress has nothing to do with the President’s race, and everything to do with the piss poor job Congress has done for way too many years now.  The majority of Americans are tired of being ignored by the people they elect and have shown they are willing to vote them out.  I only hope the people in Rep. Moran’s district come to realize what a fidiot he is and vote him out, because toads like him will do and say anything to try to not be held accountable for their own actions/inactions.
