    @Ken Anderson
    This is real serious stuff. I suppose none of us should be very surprised, as Obama was largely politically bred in Chicago, an ages-old hotseat of corruption, which extended years ago, and still does today, from it's very hierarchy of leadership all the way down to the lowest level of law enforcement. The one place I have lived where it was SOP to hand a police officer money to gain a "pass". DUI when I still lived there was pretty much stabilized at $250, if a citation was issued. Part of that went to the judge, part to the arresting officer, and the rest to the lawyer. Try Pete Ritsos, who got my boss off. Had to change the trial date unexpectedly because "they switched judges on me".

    The don't call it "Crook County" fer nuthin'!

    I have said that when we got our first black President, I hoped for Jackie Robinson; we got Flip Wilson (as Geraldine) instead. I think he was the second-worst President in my lifetime after Carter. Reagan had to bring things back after Carter, and Trump is trying the same after Obama.

    Maybe that's because Bill Clinton referred to himself as the first black president.

    One thing is a definitely FACT, Ken, 99% of folks here in Jacksonville and in Florida, don't talk or discuss anything concerning the Black race. Some do, but majority of folks here don't and won't.

    They missed the boat by not drafting Bill Cosby as a 3rd party candidate.
