If you disagree with his economic policy, the HCA, or other policies, no, that's not racist.

If you think he's "uppity", from Kenya, or secretly Muslim, that IS racist.

See how that works? Which category are you in?

Because of the lie he served "one" term.

Bush Sr term: In office: January 20, 1989 – January 20, 1993

Obama's no new taxes lie... "If you like your insurance you get to keep your insurance". Can we boot Obama out because he lied like we did with Bush?

I don't agree with Obamas policies yet anyone like me was called a racist regardless. Don't dare disagree with Obama.

No. You've made that up. No one calls you a racist for simply disagreeing with policy.

Sound like you have some kind of complex.

It sounds like you truly want to understand and aren't just baiting so Ill answer seriously.

In 2008 the country was arguably at one if its lowest points in history. We were in an almost decade long, ultra expensive war, barley making progress, that was all based on false pretenses, and we had the worse economic collapse since the Great Depression. Fixing those two issues were the number one priorities for me when going to the ballot box, and healthcare was a close runner up because I work for myself as an independent contractor so I see the real ugly side and expenses of the insurance industry, unlike those who have insurance through an employer. McCain provided very little answers to these problems during his campaign and most people were under the impression that he wouldn't be very different from the Bush Administration. He even said he'd stay in Iraq for another 100 years if we had too. Obama however campaigned on ending the war, reforming wall street, and reforming health care. And guess what? He did exactly those three things.

Let me reiterate that one more time: I voted for a policy change in Iraq, Wall Street, and healthcare, and Obama delivered just that. How can i be dissapointed with my vote? Yes there have been blunders and scandals and a failure to fulfill other promises (promises which I honestly wasn't too concerned about), but every president has those and they rarely loose the support of their party (Bush certainly didn't, you are the anomaly).

Whining about being called racist (even when they haven't been) is much easier than acting like an adult and putting forward a reasonable argument for why they don't like the Obama administration.

At least they've realized (for the most part) the secret Muslim, from Kenya, etc argument is passe

You've posted that three or four times now. It's a really poor substitute for an actual argument. Why don't you stop, think about your position, and write some cogent arguments that are supportive?
