Seven years later, i think we all know how well that turned out. Obama has healed the racial divide about as successfully as his promised healing of the oceans. Racial unrest in this country has gone from a tense simmer to a raging boil.

Alliance so glad people in my age remember the aqua velvet of commercial . I needed that. It was a bracing moment. Okay. Fine. F solidarity. So there is history in this type of solidarity. It is absolutely essential.
