Aren't we lucky to have 4 former Presidents living among us as we celebrate Presidents Day? Although two out of the 4 weren't my first, second, or even third choice, and I disagreed with practically everything they stood for, I respect the office of the President. It's too bad TeaPublicans can't, or won't, give the office of the President an iota of respect as long as it's occupied by President Barack Hussein Obama. You would think he sent our troops to war based on dead wrong intelligence and was selected by the Supreme Court or something.
Since Presidents Day occurs during Black History Month, it's only fitting to acknowledge the fact 8 former Presidents were slave owners. Slaves not only built the White House and the United States Capitol, but they were also forced to slave inside the White House. This was during the time when whites wanted the government to take care of bluh people.
I am sharing this Open letter to President Obama from RobM I found in the comment section in the afternoon open thread at Jack&Jill Politics
