I was wondering when the race card would be played. How many people have to explain that they don’t hate HIM, rather they dislike some of his policies? Why is race ALWAYS injected? I supported Obama during his candidacy, and voted for him. However, I do not agree with some of his policies, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with the color of his skin; which, by the way, happens to be similar to my skin tone.

Would you still hate Reagan if:

- Unemployment went to 5.3%.
- We saw the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
- The economy was booming.
- Billions were spent on science and technology.
- America gained a renewed self confidence.
- If oil dropped to $27.45/bbl.
- He signed the largest reduction in nuclear missiles since the Cold War began.
- He leaves office as "the nation's most popular President since Franklin D. Roosevelt."

???

Another fine example of the liberal mindset in this country is the biggest problem today. Not one person from the left has been able to discuss and debate the actual points that the moderates and conservatives have made about the actions and policies of the current administration.

Deflection is one very solid method that Alinsky taught his community organizers and the liberal left is hot on using it.

typical left wing postings.. all accusations, no substance..

Race card has expired. Try substance over false accusations sometime.

Clue: listen to the speech in this thread: Herman Cain @ CPAC: "The United States of America will not become the United States of Europe."

The point wasn't even about Reagan if you can manage to see your way through my post. It was more about asking hypotheticals of things that may never be true and people will still disagree with him on politics. It's 30 years after Reagan was elected and all those things I posted were true of Reagan, and his administration, and some liberals still hate him. In fact some moderates do too. They have their various reasons because they put more weight on some things than others. $20-$30 million spent in the contras was enough for some even when the U.S. faced far bigger problems.

It's politics and there are 307,000,000 people in the U.S. all with different goals in life and different ideals.

I'm willing to bet some of you support him unconditionally because he's black.

Which policies/laws has Obama put in place that you disagree with and how has it affected your overall view of his Presidency?

Please come up with something more original! this race stuff is really getting so worn out, over and over again.

Do you not realize for one thing he is half and half. No matter how anyone cuts it, his Mother was White. WHAT does that make him.

His color has nothing what so ever to do with the bad decisions or lack of good decisions he has made, and you know it. It has to do with the Man not his color. He could be purple and still making the wrong choices.

Making the wrong judgements has nothing at all to do with this Man's color, it is so easy still here in 2011 had sad, that when taking an easy way out, Race is used somehow.

The way the man thinks, reacts, his decisions, or lack of, the wrong judgements, his past associations, is because of the way he thinks not because of his color.

When something does not go right today how sad here in 2011 that the race card is still trumped up.
