if he had not met with such unprecedented obstructionism in Congress.

I am not naive, I knew there were many racists in this country, but I never realized exactly how pervasive it is until he took office. As Bill Maher says when he speaks of the President's accomplishments he can see some people saying in their head "but you know he is black right?"

I am sure the same sad lessons about mysogyny are ahead of us if we win this election. We must win.
