I see you've already forgotten the horribly racist 2008 democratic primaries?

Voting along racial lines in many states and when Hillary won WV.....the democrats in that state were labeled racists.

Honestly...that's why you guys have no credibility. When you throw out stupid strawman arguments like that it's kind of polarizing. Maybe we just don't like the idea of politicians ignoring the desires of the people and ramming through socialized healthcare, while we are $14 Trillion in debt.

At least now we'll know PBS is the root of political racism.

Well if the word "racist" has lost its meaning and people don't care then why do whites get offended when they hear the word? I'm not being mean, I'm just curious.

Default Novelty election, rampant racism used to elect Obama

The portion of the electorate that voted for Obama had to do so on a basis other than experience or demonstrated accomplishment.

The others felt he had no relevant experience, had shady associations with terrorists and spoke in nebulous language chacteristic of a slimeball politician.

At this point in time Obama has reversed his position on countless promises and declarations without any explanation or queries by the media to make him expalin his 180 spins. That is unprecedented in our history !

The media created Obama's image as a gifted orator. They assumed a great orator is a great communicator, NOT! Obama then received a Nobel Peace prize for no demonstrated accomplishment. Why?

Race did come into play in the last presidential election but it was a consideration on behalf of the electorate who voted for Obama. Who wouldn't want to be a part of such an historical election! Oprah leading the way. Oh, then the tapes of journalists proposing that all Obama opponents be labled as racists. Guess PBS was in on that cabal.

The promise of his handlers to prosecute people not speaking the 'truth' about their candidate, the whitehouse plea to send names and numbers of people against Obamacare, Obama saying he would never use the nuclear option to pass healthcare... gues he was truthful there as he used the nuclear option to pass Obamacare which was not in anyway related to healthcare.

Wow. We really cannot win. Elect a black man President and everybody howls even more about racism.

Can't find any? No problem! Just make it up and keep repeating it. To hell with the evidence.

It's sad. Electing the first black president was indeed a great moment, something to be proud of no matter your political affiliation. But instead of reveling in that- instead of justifiably feeling proud of making history, the Left has just taken one gigantic **** on the whole thing. Well done.

He is a pretty ineffective president. But I do give Obama credit for mostly not sinking to the level of some of his race-baiting cadres.

Ironically, it was fellow Democrats who made racial comments about Obama. None of it was Klan level stuff, but had a Republican said it, the bedwetting riots would have commenced.
