My friendly nurse from Cameroon came Sunday. He was talking about Obama and how he didn’t help Africa, which I told him was not true. He was happy because this time next year we will have a new President. I told him this new President will send you back to Cameroon. It sobered him up.

I told him to stop focusing on what Obama didn’t do, focus on what Trump will do to you. He’s not joking. He will send you back home. He got quiet. It was harsh but I felt it needed to be said. He’s returning on the 28th. I feel like I need to have a conversation with him. Any advice?

I believe it's like Maddow says, if you want to be a small d democrat, you have to be one all the time. You have to realize people on all sides will sometimes want a strong man to just do things, but that's not how a democracy works.

After the first 2 years, Pres Obama had to deal with a Republican controlled Congress who wouldn’t pass any of his policies into law and fought him every step of the way. 6 years of obstruction. It’s always the Republicans who screw things up!

Sounds like you already had it. 🤷🏾‍♀️

And if Nurse wants to talk slick again about how we need a new president, remind him of what you said last time.

Thank you. He’s mad at Obama for introducing same sex marriage to the continent. I was baffled. I thought to myself, why is that an issue?l I’m mad at myself for not speaking up on that, I should have. So I want to say to address that with him in a calm, rational manner.
