She's still supporting the Republican agenda which makes any good Obama would do even more difficult. Perhaps, perhaps she has a crush on him too. If she had been a Democrat...well she would not be in the position of power she has now so never mind. She would've been given the scary loud-mouth angry Black woman label if she'd been a Democrat.
