I especially appreciated hearing the President [Barack Obama] affirm that "black lives matter" and that it means that some citizens are feeling more pain, and experiencing more negative effects than others, and he offered up the stats. He also indicated that black lives matter does not negate the fact that blue lives matter. He ably walked the tightrope, here, between affirming both black life and police life.

President [Barack] Obama's pick of Arne Duncan as Secretary of Education was abysmal.

He was in Poland to participate in the NATO conference, President [Barack] Obama did respond well to the back-to-back killings, as well as to the attacks on Dallas police officers that followed.

Tavis Smiley lost lots of corporate support after he was critical of President [Barack] Obama.

Black child poverty is higher. As I write in the epilogue, "Yes we can. No he didn't. President [Barack] Obama didn't push black people backward, but he missed the opportunity to move us forward."

The voter problems and voter suppression, in some ways they're the same thing, but in some ways they're not, because the suppression is evil.

If past behavior is any indication, Donald Trump's behavior would not be acceptable.
