You mean Republican? No, Republicans would never nominate and elect a black president. Democrats did and Republicans have been screaming ever since. Remember, it was Republicans that sent out postcards with watermelons growing on the White House lawn.

I saw him on TV and it looks worse than I expect. It's not going well for his legacy. To have Clinton carry out. Yikes!

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama said Saturday night he will take it as a "personal insult" if the African-American community fails to turn out for the presidential election and encouraged black voters to support Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
wow that's an insult, Obama thinking that they are so wrapped up into him that he owns their vote. Hillary is so bad that Obama said this.... It smacks of desperation.

You really may want to consider why did the (Re-branded KKK come forth under the guise of Tea Party" and pushing to the front of media and media making madness, soon as President Obama was elected? I think any black man or woman who was the first in that office would have been met with the racism... American's history has many of its racist remnants still active today.

I think it is an insult to Americans that Obama feels we owe more to Syrian refugees than we do our own homeless vets. I think it is an insult to Americans that Obama feels that Hillary Clinton is worthy of any kind of loyalty when she hasn't earned any loyalty. I think Black Americans should feel insulted that Obama thinks that Black Americans care if he feels insulted. As if there lives depend upon how Obama feels.

And the answer to your question "Is that what you believe about anyone who voices concerns about Obama or Hillary?" is: If you believe supporting Trump and all that goes with it, all that he has said, all that he stands for and all that his supporters have said since 2011, then yes, that's what I think. And comments like calling President Obama "perverted mullah" or defending those that do, only further confirm it.
When I was uncertain who I was voting for - just because I sided with the Trump supporters - I automatically became one. You're labeling someone part of a group that's only calling you and yours out for doing the same thing to Trump supporters that you accuse Trump supporters of doing to you.

We have many here that chime in with reason - but are voting 3rd party.

As to another poster about what Obama could have done for blacks. He could have taken a concerned effort to unite the people - black, white, Asian, Mexican - instead of divide us. He could have used his influence with political leaders, entertainers and sports figures to start a program that helped black youths follow the right path instead of getting in trouble. Although I didn't vote for him - I actually expected him to encourage unity among all our people - unfortunately, his actions have only made matters worse.

Rebranded KKK - are you really serious! I'm sorry - I know you think long and hard to come up with these things but quit wasting your time as they're ridiculous.

Explain just what you expected him to do and how?
