Barack Obama is president, honestly alot of people just have a problem with a black man reaching that level of success in this country, let's get back to reality now please.

You people have no clue.

White voters put him in the WH or he would not have got there.

If all these people were racist then he would NOT have been elected.

Stop the lies.

Yeah because it obviously can't be that many of us who are less than happy with him are so because we disagree with his policies.
Like passing bills with no way to pay for them.
Like sending 800 million to Gaza to rebuild what the Israeli's destroyed with weapons we sold them. The 800 million to Hamas a terrorist org.
Like cash for clunkers. Like promising foreign aid when we are borrowing money from China.
Yeah it can't be because of things like that.

Even "if" you were correct, (which you are not), that people care more about someone else's skin color than about their own future -

Trust me if MOST folks didn't bother when they were young and energetic, they certainly won't bother now when they are older, more tired and frail.

Nope, it cannot be because of all his failures, mistake and total tossing of our constitution into the trash can. Nope, it has to be because of his mixed color.

They are totally lost, looking for an excuse for him. They know he is an utter failure and like most good libs do they protect the criminals ( meaning Obama and his culture of corruption buddies ) and blame the victims ( meaning us ).

Lets face it, black, green, white, yellow, pink, purple, does not matter, the man is a total loser and failure.

I despise everything Obama stands for and has done. About the only thing about him that I don't care about is his race. But it's so typical of Obamaphiles to scream RACE any time someone attacks his policies. Who are the true racists, I wonder?

Actually and I mean no offense but no I won't trust you on this. Ever served in the Military? Now that is a melting pot. What I saw in my years of service most everyone getting along without the race issue.
No most people care about performance and will get passionate when they feel that they are getting screwed by someone. Some of us who believe in certain basic things like fiscal responsibility see the repeated mistakes of Bush happening all over again. Spending without a method to repay. Enlarging the budget rather than cutting the budget. More pork than ever. And guess what? Like most pork it does not benefit the common guy.

We both know who the real racist are.

You might do well to read up on the Libertarians and what they stand for ..

Here ... I'll even help you out with a link to get you started ..

Libertarian Party | Smaller Government | Lower Taxes | More Freedom

Knowledge is power my friend ..

'"roblem is that when bush was in office he never generated this much hate against him that Obama has gotten in under 8 months."

Youv'e got to be kidding me. Read this forum. You will find some of the most vile statements about Pres. Bush and company that would not your children to read.

What should she have done, call him a white supremist?

I believe the left is much more racist than the right. The right picks its politicians because like what they have to say and do. The right doesn' make big deal about someones race. But, the left surly does.

When these seniors were young and energetic, a lot of them were protesting "civil rights" for minorities.
