I suppose I'll be branded with collusion for writing this, but I confess to being a fan of Barack Obama. I am not even going to say that I wish he had "done more" for people of color, both in the U.S. and around the world, because I am aware of the constraints that he suffered via not having a majority in the House and Senate during a great deal of his term of office. I condemn Rice and Powell more harshly because of their complicity in knowingly promoting Republican lies. Unfortunately, presidents can promote policies, but they do not allocate money or make laws. Would that they could--perhaps.
