he’s only voted for a democrat four times in his life. he says they always promise a chicken in every pot and then they give you nothing. this time he voted for obama. it wasn’t a black thing, he said he could care less that obama was african american. he just thought he was better and that was that.

growing up in abilene, texas, he learned spanish because all of his friends were mexican. his dad was 20 years older than his mom. He met her when she was working in the fields. As the story goes, he saved her from working for a “white man” and his property. he got all his brains and desire for education from his mom.
