Everyone gets caught up in the issue and use it as a Race Card when anyone is not on board with the President!

The bigger point is his polices do not work long term. He has not truly helped the American African base with higher paid jobs , like manufacturing!

He's Undermined his own people by allowing cheap labor to flood the country.

The country is not coming out this recession as quickly because Obama is Anti-Industry and mining.

He bypassed the US constitution and uses the Gov. to Control those he deems a threat to his Social Engineering.

I would say this if this was a white guy or a R.

People endlessly speak how GW Bush was and his Right wing Polices, GW looks really good now!

Is that right? Which part of the "black man experience" has Barack Obama received? Growing up a world traveler? Being raised in Hawaii? Going to an elite private school as a kid? Going to Harvard?

LOL

Yeah. Barack Obama can relate to the typical black man alright.

Why do the ignorant keep perpetuating this farce?

Obama's experience is not that of a black man. Sure, white people looked at him and saw him as a black guy. But, he lived with white people in predominantly white neighborhoods. His school friends were white people. He was raised in a setting that encouraged and rewarded academic achievement. He attended Harvard, not Howard. While he may have experienced some prejudice in Hawaii, Hawaii is a far more accepting culture than the midwest, for example. He did not know abject poverty, hopelessness, and crime and drugs as way of life. In short, Obama grew up "white" and because of that had opportunities to make something of his life that most inner city blacks can only dream of.
