Barack Obama

"By the time it was all over, the planter aristocrats were back in control, and the three constitutional amendments that supposedly had codified the U.S.A’s victory over the C.S.A.– the 13th, 14th, and 15th — had been effectively nullified in every Confederate state."

In Alabama the 'planter aristocrats' were known as "The Big Mules".
Later it was U.S. Steel and mine owners.

Now The Big Mules are the electric power companies (Southern Co.), insurance companies, banks, and realtors/homebuilders.

There are NO Democrats in state elective offices.
From governor right on down to the lowest pissant office.
Or on the state supreme court (also elected
None.

EVERYBODY ran against Obama, Pelosi, and Reid.
We're screwed.
