My grandmother used terms I didn't like. So did my grandfather. They sacrificed much on my behalf. My grandfather quit school so he could go work in the damned mines to help his parents with money for his brothers and sisters. He had a big garden about two miles from where he lived and he gave food to people during the Depression. Never saw that ethnicity had anything to do with who got the food. Perfect? No. Wonderful and giving? Yes.

Had Obama said less, people would be saying he held back. He said what he said. Honest and to the point. I won't slag the man for that.
