The teabaggers called themselves teabaggers!!! Don't put that on us, that was your term! We just agreed because we're nice like that.

No no no. Actually, they don't. Most voters voted for Obama. This happened twice.
And nearly all of them were ignorant voters swooning their lives away at him without paying any heed to his dastardly plans for all Americans.

Why I do not like Obama is for the fist time in my life I feel the US government is my enemy.
That's what he has basically turned our government into. Government is supposed to be for the people, not against the people.

You missed the word "still" in my post. Not surprising.
And I'm not tea party so you're incorrect in using "your" as well.

I VOTED for Obama the first time around so don't call ME a racist. I had/have absolutely NO PROBLEM with the color of someone's skin. What I can't stand though are people who use the race or the gender card to deflect from the failings of their favorite politicians. In doing so, you are essentially urinating all over the hard won progress that better people than you have fought for over the years leading up to the point where a woman or a black man can run for and attain high office.
I think you have a beautifully stated post and so true. People who seem to bring up the race card, truly don't have nothing else going on. That is it, and they bring it up 24/7 cause they ain't got any other argument.

No body I know, and I know a lot of people believe me family friends, and clients plenty of them all over the Country. Who are against Obama because of his color. The Man ain't got no substance, or integrity, and that says it all in a nutshell.

One too many lies is enough, deceit of a failed administration who hold accountability to those who have done wrong, is too much for some to handle.

"Nobody I know, and I know a lot of people believe me family friends, and clients plenty of them all over the Country. Who are against Obama because of his color."

Same here

I'm not 100% positive but I believe Obama has such hero worship in many of his supporters minds, that declaring all those that don't agree with him as racist is the only explanation they can think of. It's the equivalent to someone insulting your father or mother: No matter how bad they are, you can't help but to hold them in a positive light. Both Reagan and Kennadys followers were similar in their blind devotion.

What I hate about Obama is that instead of uniting the country, he has divided it. He doesn't act like the leader of our country - ALL the people in our country. He only wants to be the leader of the people who agree with him. He's always pitting Democrats against Republicans, black against white, poor against rich. He doesn't know how to lead.

I wonder why Obama hasn't appreciated the humor of seeing Republicans depict him as an African native with a bone in his nose, a chimpanzee, watermelons growing on the White House lawn, etc.

No, Obama was no mistake at all, if he could run a third term I'd vote for him again as I have the last two times.
The man has had to battle blatant racism, a do-nothing GOP congress who has thrown temper tantrums and walked out and refused to return to session remember that little fiasco game they played that caused layoffs of Federal workers, parks etc?

The GOP congress has done nothing but act like obstructionists since day one on anything and everything Mr Obama did, said, or proposed. Don't even go into the idiocy of the "birthers" going on and on and on, and distracting everyone with their garbage and creating a climate of hate and racism for years.

We already saw what the GOP has done thanks to the Bush crime cartel and the fiasco along with two unfunded wars they left behind!

If you want to lay blame lay it on the do nothing fools in CONGRESS, congress is the one who holds all the cards not the president, the president can only sign or veto the bills the congress puts on his desk, and for the last 6 years congress has been completely, and utterly disfunctional, petty, and way overpaid.

Not to mention the ones who voted for totally unviable "third party" candidates completely threw their votes away and by throwing their votes away that way they voted GOP by proxy.
