So your solution is to make things worse? I guess we could use a few more wars, some more tax cuts for the rich, and a reduction of social programs for the ones that need it the most. and while we are at it, why not roll back a few human rights.

You're right Obama is one of the most racially divisive presidents ever. But you can't blame him for his ethnicity.

If that's the best a sworn critic can come up with, then we must be doing better than I thought.

Fixing racial divides and distrust in government.....LOL

Who does that, it is not his race, but rather his ignorant, naïve, bullish in mature bratty nature, who cares about his race. After all, he is the best of both world's right! Not.

No messes like what he will be leaving, and the division of races, is worse under him don't admit the truth, most people know it. But won't admit it. The most bullish, arrogant bratty manner, in which he feels he is King. And his way, or get the hell out.

Yeah well my tapes of this idiot in 2008 he stated, he would help fix the racial problems and there would be no divide, no special treatment. Really!

Well you know what they say, it is much easier for white people to trust a white person, even when that person is lying through their teeth.

First off seems someone is putting the chicken before the egg, meaning do not assume you will be in the position to fix anything until you have some clear evidence of such, right now it is not looking good on that, but it is still a loooong time before any elections. Secondly much of what you listed is Obama dealing with what was left to him and some from even further than the previous administration and trends that were already in place. Has he fixed everything, heck no, and guess what the next President, Repub or Dem, is not going to fix everything, fixing everything is not the job of the President. Now if the Repubs want to get he ball rolling all the Republican Controlled Congress has to do is to start getting things accomplished that help the Nation, right now they seem more interested in a Trade Agreement that they do not want to share the details with anyone outside closed circles, strange huh.

Sorry to disagree with you, but no President, can look you in the eye as this President has and lie so easy, what the hell is one more lie. Lie after lie, which we all come to expect from Obama.

Please do not try and speculate what you think some people will do or how they think because you are not in their head~

This President, does nothing but lie, come on now, even my good black friends admit this too me, they can admit it, because they can see it too.

Oh excuse me, Clinton, did not play footsie under the table with a said intern: did he.

John Edwards, did not cheat while his wife was dying! right. And no when others lie it is not ok either, just this President, lies all the time, lie after lie. Don't have to agree with me, and no I definitely do not agree with you

Do not try and guess what you think white people think, unless your in their head.

Only as long as it takes for people who believe he made the mess to stop being delusional and psychotic.

How dare you blame Obama for that mess.

I will take it point by point.
-The labor force reduced under Bush with the two recessions that started under his rule.
-Wage stagnation started under Reagan
-A House of Representatives that did everything to obstruct him short of calling him the n word in public
- Obamacare is his, but your kids will be covered until they are 26 and you will be covered for shingles under your health care policy even if you had chickenpox as a kid.
- You have the nerve to blame a Democrat for wealth inequality
- The government has always been corrupt.
- A do nothing Republican House can't be hung around Obama's neck.
- Bush cut taxes and then started two wars.

If you are serious, your post shows an ignorance like history started seven years ago.

So first, I guess you missed my joke. I was referring to his mixed ancestry as being divisive, not his behavior. Maybe you'll catch the joke later.

Secondly, how does being bullish and/or arrogant and bratty cause racial division? I, personally, don't see his behavior as arrogant at all. And much of the world actually likes him far more than any of our recent presidents.

I'm not accusing you of this, but there's definitely a double standard in America: when white men behave this way they are considered strong, confident leaders. But when black men do they're arrogant. (it's similar to women being called b*tches when they exhibit the same strong leadership skills as men)

I do agree this country seems more racially divided than before. But I honestly don't think Obama himself is the cause. I think a lot of people just did not want to see a black president.
