I might be pissing a lot of people off by saying this... but it is abundantly clear to me that it is about race and the color of our presidents skin. A section of America feels threatened and powerless toward a government that would allow a 'black man' to become its ultimate leader.

When the majority of white americans 30 plus years ago, and a large percentage of contemporary Americans were taught and raised to distrust people who are not like them... how can we expect these folks to hold back when they are threatened? They are only being good students of the bigoted ways in which they were brought up.

Get used to it... we are going to see this blind rage and opposition to everything Obama and his administration, House and Senate do for the remaining 7 plus years he is in office. This will not go away overnight.

For open minded, open hearted individuals, these behaviors will not make sense and will frustrate and confuse us. Don't spend to much time trying to figure it all out... you won't, really, you can't. The hateful are like Alcoholics... they have to hit bottom on there own... we can't do it for them.

So sit back, enjoy the show, build up a loving life and relationships that you have the power to affect... that is the only way for us to overcome what we are seeing and will continue to see for some time.

Much Love
