"I HAVE A DREAM"......OBAMA IMPEACHED

Dr. King declared, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of heir character.” With a black president, and several black congressmen and civic leaders in attendance, clearly the racial glass ceiling is shattered. And while there may be still a few pockets of actual racism around the country, electoral evidence on its own clearly signals the demise of racial discrimination in any systemic form.

Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina is a Republican and is the only black senator, and he is one of only eight in history.
