So are you implying that Most of America is stupid enough to equate the actions on one individual as par for 40+ million people?

So much criticism of Barack Obama is countered with accusations of racism. Its as if no other president in history had opposition!

Come on. You know damn well that its part of this administrations strategy to achieve its goals and to get reelected to use the "racism" charge.

You know this.

Its part and parcel of its modus operandi. Barry doesn't have to come out and say it, his allies do it for him!

Good lord--some of you people absolutely make me sick. Ready or not, we have a black president, and the only way some of the backward rednecks in this country are going to pull up their big boy pants and get over being racists is by dealing with people different than themselves. If you never get over being a complete jacka**, hopefully your children will be exposed to others enough that it dies with your generation. America is one big melting pot, and not a predominantly white one any more. What the heck difference does skin color make for ANYTHING. Get real.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Another person who is completely unfamiliar with MLK Jr's political views.

To answer to OP, it was always pretty clear that many conservatives were not at all ready for a black president - thus the appearance of pictures of Obama on food stamps, waffle boxes, or as a witch doctor, shoe-shine boy, or monkey. And it's also true of some democrats, such as that woman who was filmed screaming at the Florida Democratic meeting. But frankly, if we waited for America to be "ready", we'd still be in chains, so who cares. Let them scream and rage, they'll get used to it later.

The right has been particularly vicious towards this president, routinely lying, voting against their own ideas, voting down bills that they sponsored, accusing him of being a foreigner, muslim, etc.

It matters not, it just tells us, we have some way to go until otherwise.

I think that is exactly what the poster is saying.

That's probably because so much criticism of Obama has nothing to do with his policies or what he's actually done.
