His father asked what the problem was and the kid said, "Why can't we be black too?" If Obama can actually deliver your country (and the world) from the bottomless pit the Republicans have dug - I'm gonna buy some Kiwi dark brown shoe polish and rub it all over me! I bet I won't be the only one! Oliver
