For the record and clarification for those who said questioning our current President in the other thread was 'racism', what would you term the many (MANY) times I complained and questioned the Presidential actions & decisions here and on other forums online over the past 15+ years (covering both parties)?
As you may, or may not know, those Presidents were all white guys.
Pick one:
A: 'anti-white'
B: 'anti-WASP'
C: 'anti-men'
D: 'questionable motives'
E: 'can't trust anyone from Texas'
F: 'I can't find Arkansas on a map, how can I trust this guy?'
G: 'bad decision for the Republic'
Yet our new POTUS cannot be questioned without the Race Card being played, I just don't get it...
I thought we were over this.
My post may be deleted, but I will try to explain.
I don't think people resort to using that term JUST for disagreeing with the pres. Lots of people disagree with him and prejudice has nothing to do with it. But there appears to be a certain segment of the pop that is almost insanely anti-Obama. They seem to go far beyond the lib vs conservative, demo vs republican, right vs left ideology. It really does seem so crazy, so far beyonf the norm, so far beyond rational thought that it makes one wonder.... for what reason is this person being sooooooo irrational. And sometimes when you can't find any other explaination.... you wonder if that plays into the equation.
This is just my opinion, so take it for what it is worth. But some people seem SOOOOOOO irrational that you realy just wonder.... I'm not so sure that I would have labeled anything in the last post that way, but I'm trying to represent to my best ability why people bring this up with our current president.

Pick one:
#1 It appears that Obama is surrounding himself with radicals, one being Van Jones a self described communist who believes government is posioning minorities
#2 Text of speech has not be made available to the public
#3 Lesson Plans from the Department of Education ecouraged children to “Write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president. “ interpreted to mean help the President accomplish his political goals (HC etc)
this has now been changed to “Write letters to themselves about how they can achieve their short‐term and long‐term education goals.”
The other thread was closed because the moderator asked folks to stay on topic and it must have appeared to them, that they did not stay on the topic. Read their posts and it should be clear
Once threads get in the gutter of name-calling there is no use continuing, that is why SK closed it.
'You're this'
'Well, you're that'
No logical argument can come from such, and besides, we drifted OT.
