Obama 1995: POTUS To Be - Activist Eternally

There are many problems in America. We have a brutal police state with racism a core issue. Also, there's Wall Street Fraud and the 90 Day Deadline of Eric Holder looming large, with justice most likely remaining unrequited. Then there's the military complex refusing to downsize, attacks on privacy, Social Security and worse. It is hard to look upon President Barack Obama for resolution, as we Liberals showed some displeasure at the man; and let the Republicans take over both the Senate and the House.

However, believe it or not, President Obama is our lord and can be our savior!

In the video below, there's 55 minutes of the real man. You will see a calm, confident guy who made a career, from long ago, on doing political activism as he grasped for hope and believed America can change.

Obama was granted the privilege to discover who he was, as head of the Harvard Law Review; which resulted in a book that forced Michele Obama to sacrifice the first 2 years of her marriage to a most absent husband.

The results of who he was and what he was doing, couldn't have possibly been known to him, at that time. President Obama displayed his charm, his consistency and his keen intellect, long before he would become one of THE most powerful men in the world.

He is real, his activism is real. He was a Civil Rights attorney, when there was no money in it. And, believe it or not, way back then, Barack Obama had faith in America and the possibility that things might change for the better.

Caucasian Americans are established at forgiving themselves
(having the most practice at such)!

Then not yet even as Senator Obama, he spoke of his knowledge of Malcom X, Doctor Martin Luther King and how it was, growing up as a mix breed. How the publisher paid for his visit Africa and Kenya, Of his taking Michele there, to his father's village, where the kids pointed at Michele saying;

"Look - there's a white woman"!

You have before you, 55 minutes of the realm man. One who wasn't seeking any election. Just a guy trying to look at racism in America and address his multicultural roots.

Soft spoken, considerate, engaging and very smart, this was President Barack Obama in the making; and hopefully he will return to his Civil Rights activism in 2017. For he will always be President Barack Obama. And, like Jimmy Carter doing his projects, the POTUS can utilize who he is to continue to make a difference.

I believe he will and adore him even more, after seeing this video of the real guy.

Who, by the way, at time stamp 54:59, sees the real America way too!
(you'll have to watch the entire video, to grasp what is so apropos of the time stamp).

As he said so candidly, he has a thing that rhymes with bucket list;
and for one, I hope that is to arrest racism in America.

Many mornings, I'm ashamed to wake up white......
