Someone said Didn't agree with Obama, but Respected

I wouldn't say they respected Obama. 

I disagreed on a lot of things, but he was most certainly more of a gentleman than what we have now.

My my the howl we heard, the character assassinations..Total disrespect. After all, he is black, you know, and a lot of the disrespect came from people who don't particularly like black..

Of course a lot of that howl was led by the right wing commentators , talk hosts, Trumpites....

The saddest thing is that a terrific - good thought - initiative of Obama's was lost, diluted, washed away in all the howl and particularly in the bickering about Obamacare. 

I do so wish the media would go back in and identify that,initiative, let it be known.

What was that initiative? Obama felt that too many black men were not being the fathers they should, and wanted to work to reverse that situation.  Sort of like those two movies made by the consortium in Albany Georgia (Courageous and Fireproof). Worth getting ahold of. 

Soon after Obama was in office I saw huge stand up displays in my primary care waiting room of the HMO I use. The displays explained fully what the need was, not in initiative language but in urging men to be better men and fathers, giving them ideas, inspiriting them,. giving them direction to resources.

So why are not "conservatives" remembering this?  Because they are not true to the label they adopt. They are not true conservatives  That's my story, and I'm sticking with it.
