Personally, I could care less about a persons skin color so let's not try and paint a racism picture overtop the real issue which is he was not fit for the Presidency based on his expierience. If he had actually participated in the Senate maybe in 10-15 or 20 years. Unfortunaly, he didn't and came into office with less expeirence that probably any President in recent history.

He was put into office because of his race.. The reason he is in the position he is in today has nothing to do with skin color and everything to do with inexpierience.

Nope, he has consitantly pushed economic, social and racial division since the day he entered office. I could do a quick you tube search and come up with a boat load of speechs that reflect this..

Can you actually HEAR yourself? Makes me want to consider serious dialouge.
Your post makes almost no sense.

Hmm...seems like the media has once again succeeded in keeping this country divided. Everyone concentrates on Obama while they do their little thing in the background. You want to know why race relations in this country are down? Blame CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC.

You don't have to like it...it has to do with American culture and is deepest among generational Americans. He was put into power because people were tired of the Republican party and fail to realize that the Democratic and Republican parties are two sides of the same coin. Sure people liked his diverse background but more than anything, they wanted a different mentality in office.

Not that it makes any difference, but he is as much white as he is black. You are free to claim him as black if it makes you feel any better.

It is enlightening how much blacks dislike whites since Obama got in. That chip on their shoulder got larger. When white people realize that blacks hate whites then it becomes a dividing factor as the blacks keep telling whites that they are offensive to them and it is all the white's fault for slavery. Not true at all.

First time I realized there was a great gulf between blacks and whites was when OJ was pronounced Not Guilty, with two dead white people , and the blacks cheered as if it was a wonderful accomplishment. I was shocked because every group of blacks jumped up and cheered with elation. Then I knew with all that evidence showing OJ guilty at every piece of evidence presented it was blacks first and to heck with two dead people who were cut to pieces.

And yet Trayvon Martin was beating Zimmerman and act as if he is some kind of angel and never laid a hand on Zimmerman.

Check out this case. This guy was never attacked yet shot a 16 year old as he begged to live.

What evidence do you have that Obama was "put into office because of his race?"

Which Presidents have had the type of experience you feel is required?

When I look at the list of recent Presidents most of them did not have lots of experience prior to becoming President.

W. Bush - No
Clinton - No
HW. Bush - Perhaps
Reagan - No
Carter - No
Ford - Yes
Nixon - No
Johnson -Yes
Kennedy - Barely
Eisenhower - No
Truman - Yes
Roosevelt - No
Hoover - No
Coolidge - No
Harding - No
Wilson - No
