If
the above accusations about our president and commander-in-chief make
your stomach turn, it should. If the accused president’s skin color is
relevant to you, it shouldn’t be.
Unfortunately, it
appears that we now have a full-fledged constitutional crisis sparked by
an abuse of power that no one should attempt, regardless of party
affiliation. You may still be taking comfort in the thought that
President Obama is today only targeting your neighbors. How long before
our next president disagrees with ... you? Call your congressman.
