Presidency

Obama is having a hard time explaining his involvement in a church where the preacher has been notoriously preaching hate against the white community.

These comments are not new to the black community or the white community. Both races have been guilty of preaching such dogma and hate. The difference here is that Obama is running for the highest office in the world, the President of the United States of America.

So I was sitting at my computer, staring at a blank white Word Document file, and I got to thinking whether the phenomenon that is George W. Bush has surfaced elsewhere in the history of the Presidents of these United States. Of course I found some instances, or this blog would be about California Towhees. Or maybe TV evangelists. No, that’s tomorrow’s subject.
