In response to some of the previous posts (I am unsure if they were directed at all participants within the thread, or, me) but, I, personally, have never read the Washington Post, nor do I read news articles pertaining to politics, nor do I watch any news. I do, however, listen to public radio on my way to work, on occasion, and I have read several WP posts pertaining to politics, and, WP political posts have provided me with most of the knowledge I have obtained. I know that could seem ignorant, but, I am one who becomes extremely effected by certain types of news, thus, I tend to stay away from it.
I don't know details of what has happened, nor do I want to, nor do I judge. I do know that the first lady is what I described in my initial post, and I do hope that she and her son fare well. I don't understand how anyone can defend the president, at this juncture. Everything is happening, right in front of our eyes. We aren't simply hearing rumors, and what is taking place is real, and not mere, 'allegations', as someone mentioned. Everything is evolving so fast. I cannot believe the segregation related issues being passed. It is sickening to me. I want to leave the US at this point, however, I still have a shred of hope. Hope that the entity will soon be removed from office, never to return. That is all.
