Editor,

While President Obama is being rightfully praised for his new Presidential Center, many top Republicans are busy tearing him down, lying about him and behaving in a most uncivilized manner toward a two time POTUS admired around the world! Even this fine Daily Journal carries derogatory LTEs with lies about our former president and Nobel Peace Prize recipient. Why? Because Obama is Black, because he is far better educated and way more accomplished than Trump, because he excelled despite a difficult childhood with just a single mother, or just plain old childish jealousy? What shameful behavior.

CA Is Burning

I'm surprised this meaningless opinion piece made it through thoughtful editing. Jorg's writings remind me of the monkey at the zoo who throws how own feces at the visitors and expects us to to stand tall and not duck. The party of slavery now says the party of freedom is the party who hates Obama due to the color of his skin. One we don't hate Obama, we don't like his appeasement, his lack of social values and his lies. And as Joe Biden said, Obama is "clean and articulate" but that's about it, a master orator who made a living suing banks for not giving loans to people who didn't qualify. Then Obama used the Ace of spades, like Jorg, to convince people that people who disagree with his simple policies were simply racists. Now Obama is back in the news because of his ridiculous looking library, but mostly because Obama hasn't paid the contractors and subcontractors who built his silly building that doesn't have even one item from his presidency. Maybe Obama forgot what a Presidential Library was intended to house?

Even if you don’t get it, CIB, thanks for underscoring my point in such a subtle way!
