"Obama of Alabama" turns Republican

Arthur Davis, rising star of the Democrat Party, so much so they've been calling him the Obama of Alabama, has come out of the dark side into the twilight of the Republican Party.

Former Black Caucus Whip switches to GOP.

"On the specifics, I have regularly criticized an agenda that would punish businesses and job creators with more taxes just as they are trying to thrive again. I have taken issue with an administration that has lapsed into a bloc by bloc appeal to group grievances when the country is already too fractured: frankly, the symbolism of Barack Obama winning has not given us the substance of a united country. You have also seen me write that faith institutions should not be compelled to violate their teachings because faith is a freedom, too. You’ve read that in my view, the law can’t continue to favor one race over another in offering hard-earned slots in colleges: America has changed, and we are now diverse enough that we don’t need to accommodate a racial spoils system. And you know from these pages that I still think the way we have gone about mending the flaws in our healthcare system is the wrong way—it goes further than we need and costs more than we can bear."

You don't get very far running Democrat in Alabama.

I like the way Davis thinks.Now if more would open their eyes.

Apparently not so in his district. He wasn't ousted in 2010.




Amen. And I think it's happening. Few if any want Obama's endorsement.
