See it depends o how you see the iisues as to how you view how either Obama or Bush was treated .This even questions any media that does not favor him as illgitmate and those who oppose him as racist. All who don't agree are idots.

in the media, Obama has been given one unending "pas" solely because of his race. Where he a white Democrat, the outcry would be deafening, and if he was a White Republican, well it register on the Richter Scale - and you know it.

OMG, there is so much wrong with this statement. Let me fix it for you (at least the opening phrase.

This country is in the fight of its life, because he was given an unending pass by the media who looked the other way on issue after issue, after issue, solely because his race. Furthermore, his administration is nothing but a rogues-gallery collection of bottom feeders, corpse rats and other miscreants & misfits.

much better and accurate to a "T".

I have zero admiration for President Obama or his administration. I was refuting that he was graded harder because of his race. I believe it is because we are in deep **** and everyone know it no matter how his administration attempts to rhetoric their way out of it.

Once again, I'll ask... how did G.W. Bush "nearly destroy our nation?"

Even if not the reason itself, it might play a significant part, even subconsciously if amnesia forces you to avoid placing blame about the country's dilemma where it belongs: NYT: The Amnesia Candidate

This is the part of the "racist" tactic I dont get. If you are like many americans, in the undecided collumn, not sure who you are going to vote for, and along comes someone who says that if you dont like Obama, you're a racist, then these people will respond with

"You're calling me a racist? I'm no racist and I dont want people around calling me one", and then vote for Obamas opponent.

They are actually causing more harm for their own candidate than good with these ridiculous tactics.
