firsthand how he has gone to back for federal employees. Many of us are also people of color and have seen firsthand how this president has been treated. And most of us have worked our asses off only to be told by the Republicans in Congress that we are lazy, no good, overpaid and unworthy---you know, all the racist code words that they love to use as proxies. We'd work our asses off, sometimes working 10 to 12 hours a day putting together the administrative budget, for instance, only for the Rethugs to run to the Corporate Media, lying about Obama not giving them a budget. This has happened every single year since Obama has been in office--not to mention the sequestration and government shutdown.
