Yup, I'm very proud of President elect Donald J. Trump.
His company refused to pay my husband's company for services rendered so yeah, he did steal my money. And thousands of other contractors will tell you the same thing.

I do not understand why you are so bad attitude to the new president, Donald Trump? Someone still loves Barack Obama? Why? he did not fulfill a single promise to the American people.

You know that Donald Trump to spend on his election campaign little money unlike from Clinton. This means that you are the first time in many years, got a real president. not a puppet for corporations and financial institutions
From your English I assume it is not the language you use commonly. I am guessing Russian?
This thread is about President Obama and why he makes Americans proud.

So let's put the sour grapes aside, shall we? It's time to give it a rest.
Just because you are black does not mean you cannot be successful, get a great education, and become President. President Obama and the First lad have proven that. They are excellent parents and have raised their daughters well.
BUT the fact remains that Black people and others of color have to work twice and 3 times as hard and prove a blemish-less record to get just where ordinary, talent-less, stupid people can get to just because they are white. That is white privilege.

Maybe you think all black people should be only poor and uneducated. A lot people think that. But they have the aspirations as all people do, they have great talent and intellect and given EQUAL opportunity they too will shine.

That is what Obama and Michelle Obama have shown. They are the great Americans and that is why Americans are proud of them

I hate the Obamas for their terrible collectivist politics. Nevertheless I would be a fool not to recognize that they are talented and gifted people who are in the top 1% of Americans with respect to skill and accomplishment. And they are doing beautifully at bringing up their kids from all outward appearances. I do think you are living in the past. If any black or any white or any Hispanic or anybody else simply goes to school, does things in the correct order, avoids abusing substances, avoids criminality, and avoids having kids before the correct time and with the correct spouse, then the sky is the limit and racism doesn't exist. Not anymore. In fact, being a minority today is considered much cooler than being white and I think minorities are actually "privileged". How does that grab you?

Here's an idea for everyone of all races - follow the Obamas example. Go to school, get good grades, don't get pregnant, go to college, don't get pregnant, graduate, get a job, save money, accomplish stuff, don't get pregnant, choose a spouse with your brain, get rid of those who do not promise to be stable and committed lifelong partners, find the right one, marry him or her, save money, buy a house, NOW get pregnant, raise a family, and teach your kids to follow the same good script.

Think thoughts that are ONLY THIS DEEP, execute them in life, and all the nastiness and gangbanging and drug dealing and BLM and Obamacare and collectivist progressive Bernie Sanders bull feces and other nonsense will be gone forever. And then we can have the country we deserve with good citizens throughout the land.

What do you MEAN that I shouldn't expect/demand that that the government give me a managerial job or a job with a 6 figure income,house,phone,car after I finish high school just because I breath? I mean, I AM special right? Oh, If almost forgot, take care of my 6 kids and their baby-mama's as well...
