Why would they throw us a bone? we are 13% of the population, the vast majority having caught a case, thus being disenfranchised.

Obama is really a politician who took Harold Washington's game to the next level and won the presidency, now even republicans emulate him (see Cruz and Paul's one senate term = potus run, or all the state legislatures trying to force their agendas as he did with ACA)
