Obama: I’m still riding with you

In 2008 when Barack Obama was “selected” to be the President of the United States, I was filled with so much joy and pride. As I have watched the government functions over the last 3 years, one thing is truly evident, this government doesn’t represent me.
Last night in President Obama’s State of The Union address he stated a number of issues we as a country do need to improve on or start. He spoke with power, passion, and conviction which are all things our country is missing as a whole.
What tripped me out wasn’t the speech but the reaction to the speech. I would rather some of these Republicans that hate President Obama so much, just tell us the truth. Go ahead and tell us you hate to have a Black man as head of this country. Tell us no black male deserves or will ever receive the respect of a white male. Tell us you don’t care about the poor or struggling population of the country that has made you so rich.
Hearing Gov. Mitch Daniels afterwards made me ashamed to be from Indiana. That’s nothing new though. This city has had issues with race relations and discrimination just as much as any other state. Remember the Klu Kux Klan was birthed in our beautiful state.
What are even worse are the options the Republicans are putting up for President. A old fat cheating tough talker that has issues controlling the offensive s**t he says, and a billionaire that has no idea about the struggle or life of the average American except for what his advisors tell him? You must be kidding. I can only image the BS that will follow one of these men after being elected.
President Obama is a symbol of change. A symbol still many of our elected officials won’t accept. Well President, just know we are still riding with you. I may not agree with every move you make but I support the fact that you are trying the change the current circumstances in which we live.
Republicans might as well be screaming “get your hand out of my pocket N***a!” as we the 99% continue to “die” by the political bullets they continue to shoot.
