I've grown tired of the bigotry shown our President.

"...In "Playin The Fool (click here)," Watkins documents the folktales and rhymes spun by slaves that became what he calls "techniques for surviving," the physical brutality of slavery while maintaining some semblance of self-respect: "Got one mind for white folks to see, `Nother for what I know is me."...



For centuries minorities and women have 'coped' with White Men by instilling humor into interactions and social content. The 'comments ridiculing content humor' by any member of the White House is nothing short of crass and poor judgement and even poorer taste.

I think he has a wonderful smile and uses it to soften his personality, which is completely a 'no-nonsense' approach to everything. President Obama prides himself on openness and transparency. I find his willingness to be self-deprecating in welcoming questions in good spirit to 'transition' into a serious answers a 'consistent' approach which is disarming and provides 'in roads' to further understanding.

The absolute 'hatred' that is permeating the media toward this adminisration needs to stop. The FACT is they are NOT responsible for this mess and it is high time everyone 'deal' with that reality !
