Obama was President lots of awful stuff went on. So much police abuse and horrible incidents like Travon Martin being murdered by Zimmerman.

I was pissed that President Obama was vilified for speaking out about that incident. But, putting country before himself, he held the so called beer summit to calm the racist outrage. Makes me wonder how many other times he censored himself to avoid the ugly, hateful crap we are now seeing openly displayed.

My admiration for President Obama continues to grow.
