He is absolutely right.5 Stars Full for this amazing honest poem. I do hope more Obama's will come, CHANGE can always take place. Mr. Obama has a white mother and a black father, the fact is Mr. Obama won twice, and had been for 8 years The President for the USA.

White kids there were presidents but their white folks (constitution) couldn't tell the words of Liberty and Justice for all! ////////// I think a revolutionist rhyme this is

Liberty and justice is just an illusion it only applies to those that can afford it?
