8. Just that he was addressing issues of the black community while

campaigning in TX and OH. But it's not about black issues - it's about human beings being treated like shit by our government.

I was there not too long ago - The first thing our cab driver said after we arrived was, "Please, please tell everyone to come back -- we are dying here."

It is not the poor (still displaced). It is the middle class - not enough insurance to rebuild their homes so they are having to pay rent. Rents have risen, taxes have risen, and ARM payments have risen. Many think they will have to move.
