What upsets people like you is that Obama isn't a "Uncle Tom" like most right wingers were hoping for and that being Obama is only "half" black!

Imagine if he was a full blooded black man instead?
You would have called him a "Monkey" or a "chimp"!
Oh wait you already did that !

It's quite sad you don't even know what President Obama has done for America in the last 8 years.

Google is your friend.
You are racist yourself. True racist my arse, how did he get elected if this country is racist.
What about comment from Michelle, she's not proud of this country until her husband was elected president. I think that comment is racist, perhaps she should move her family to Africa, then she truly be proud.

The poster has repeated it several times and I've yet to see this plan with a $15,000 deductible.

Perhaps you don't understand her comment. Michelle Obama was proud to see that America could elect a African-American President when up until the time Barack was born he had no right to Vote.

Where exactly should Michelle go back to Africa since White slave traders have ripped off her history , culture & names?

Michelle Robinson doesn't sound like a "African" name like "Obama".

Does it now?

What accomplishments did you expect from a freshman senator whose only qualifications was a speech against the Iraq war and being "black". Obama was one of the most unqualified presidents in history who was only elected as POTUS as a feel good story due to being "black". I was not expecting much from a community organizer and I was correct to think that. Race relations sure are worse than in 2008.

Here's some reading on the subject:

Obama's Policy Legacy: The Nation He Built - POLITICO Magazine

"But it’s remarkable how often Obama has gotten what he wanted, in many cases policies that Democrats (and sometimes moderate Republicans) have wanted for decades, and how often those policies have slipped under the radar."

Haven't read this thread but Obama-

1. Restored economy to be envy of the world

2. Passed health care reform

3. Lowered crime

4. Raised educational standards

5. Issued executive order banning discrimination based on sexual orientation

That's enough for me. He's been pretty good. And he has high approval ratings, so most Americans agree.

Yes he is, only the gender and name has changed.

He certainly squandered a perfect chance to be a uniter... instead choosing to inject himself in fringe problems adding fuel to an ember which is now a raging fire.

Once the republicans built the tea party and stated on record their only mission was to ensure he became a 1 term president, the "uniter" spirit left.

When a group of people are that hell bent on your failure, it is hard to unite.
