“Barack Obama. Yes, he did make some mistakes, but I think he always tried to do his best for everyone. I think that might have gotten him in trouble, but I think he tried.”
Lloyd Richards

“I’m not going to say because people are just so over the top now. You can’t even express your opinion anymore.”
James Wilkinson
Windsor Hills
“I’m old school. I liked Obama, but I also think Lyndon Johnson did a lot for Black people for the time that he was in. … I don’t think he gets enough credit.”
Ervin Fletcher

“I don’t really like to talk about politics. To me, they’re all the same. They make all these promises, but when they become president, they compromise too much.”
