POTUS Under Fire

Progressives are screeching about 1) the press and the Justice Department
                                                       2) the government collection of citizen data
                                                       3) Bradley Manning
                                                       4) drones
                                                       5) Guantanamo
Shall I go on?
The right wing is constantly bellowing about 1) his nationality
                                                                         2) his religion
                                                                         3) his wanting help for ordinary citizens
                                                                         4) his advocacy for women's rights
                                                                         5) his advocacy for unions and the abolition of flat
                                                                             salaries
                                                                         6) his health care initiatives, including but not limited to
                                                                             Obamacare
                                                                         7) his cabinet appointment nominations
                                                                         8) his federal judiciary appointment nominees
                                                                         9) his Supreme Court appointments
                                                                        10) his advocacy for all American marriages
Shall I go on?
Black Elites are outraged that he isn't outspoken on race talk.
Don't we, as black people, have enough trouble already?
Isn't John Roberts already writing opinions giving states dominion over all black people and all black
peoples' interests?
President Obama is the only President in decades who has done nothing to legislate against black
citizens at any point in his entire career.
He has quietly kept homelessness in big cities to an absolute minimum during the whole recession/depression.
Black people should know better than any other group, that if the President overtly says and does a
lot to help his own people we will reap it from a lot of those still in the majority in this country.
When right wing radio is talking, the vituperative, crazed talk of backlash against the President's
culture all day every day, they don't intend to speak covertly, and they slobber for the chances to
behave the way they speak.
Now why would our President want to encourage any of that?
He is doing what he can, when he can, not covertly- but also, we hope, not one bit showy.
