Black history month
February each year is both Black history month, and also the shortest month of the year. What most Americans are surprised to learn (to hear the strident Republican reaction to the replacement of justice Antonin Scalia) is that black presidential terms are shorter as well, in that they seem to be insisting that Mr. Obama is not allowed a full four years to do his constitutional presidential duty of nominating Supreme Court justices. And when they say, "let's decide it by an election", newsflash; we already did. President Obama was elected by a combined 13 million votes in his two elections, compared to George W. Bush who's plurality was a little under 3 million in his two terms.
