"COMFORTABLE"? in our "SKIN"(s)?

OBAMA before the MEDIA 
This past week, we saw our President appear before the media in very interesting, and revealing, ways. 
After the bombing in Boston, and, whatever that was that went BOOM!! in Texas, the Consoler-in Chief was busy. Oh, and he also stopped off to "console" "W", as he opened his Presidential Library.
The "consolation" did not prevent "W" from tearing-up, however. Were those the tears of the guilty? "W" can be re-assured; Huck Finn is this nation's gift to all white males -- they can always take credit, and never have to take blame. Only the most inept ever "get caught"! 
A curious phrase: "Comfortable in his skin" -- That was the attribution the President made to "W".  It is abundantly clear that Obama is now, finally showing some confidence in his role as President.  Could it be that he is the one most deserving of the phrase?  The President's performance before those assembled "entertainers" who bring us "news", can only be termed: MASTERFUL! 
"Second Term, Baby!!"
 
"Welcome Home", Barry!  From your writings and speeches, and from the way you've dealt with the "trash" that asserts itself as "better", "wiser", and, yes, "superior" to you; it appears you have been seeking this level of assurance for some time now.  Let's have more of it!
 
As for the rest of us; how are we doing in our skins?  That's the question before the nation, and the world, today.  Combine the main messages from Michael Lind's Next American Nation (1995), and Eric Schmidt's The New Digital Age, (2013),  you'll probably come away with an acute awareness of the serious problems we' ll face trying to choose competent leaders!
 
Lind concluded (18 years ago) that the underlying "culture" of this nation -- formed long before a white majority was imported, will be strong enough to crush any attempts by new immigrants to fundamentally change us.  That "culture", he writes, was developed over  hundreds of years, when African Slaves and Native Americans were dominant -- the two groups that today form a  permanent "underclass", stationed  "below", in the "steerage" of our "ship of state". They are still regarded as subservient to all immigrants, regardless of  their skin color. 
 
Lind predicted "Brazilianization" for the future of the United States -- "withdrawal of the white American overclass into its own barricaded nation-within-a-nation, a world of private neighborhoods, private schools, private police, private health care, and even private roads, walled off from the spreading squalor beyond."
Stay Vigilant!  Take A Stand!
