The so called Greatest Country on Earth would not breate, demean and constantly criticize their own Commander in Chief just because of his skin color. We have become a joke. Racism is alive, well and breeding like rabbits in this nation that was stolen from Native Americans, Hispanics and contstructed by Africans.

I can only imagine how many people could have had a great Thanksgiving full meal on the money Obama wasted away on his recent trip around the world.

Sad to think we have people in shelters, homeless and food banks are empty and he is spending/wasting money away.

Simply point he does not care about the hungry or homeless or he would not be out taking 30 vacations and spending 200 million a day on lavish trip around the world that meant nothing to people who will be without a good meal today.

There is no thanks in this man. He has crippled this country with his policies, spending and poor decisions.

The only thing we have to be thankful for is the fact that he will be gone in less then 2 years.

Because of his race? Not because of socialized medicine? Not because he said he was against The Patriot Act and then signed it back into law? Not because of the bailouts? Not because he continues empire? Not because he brought radical leftwingers into the White House? Because of his race?

So how do you explain the 70% approval rating, with only 16% disapproval, that this President began his term with? How do you explain the admiration for Barack Obama's historic achievement then, even among McCain voters?

Do not confuse job performance with skin color. Most of the rest of the country hasn't had any problem with this distinction. Roughly half the people who approved of the President on Inauguration Day have changed their minds--he was black then, he's black now. That has not changed.

What has changed is the increased knowledge we have about his philosophy and his ability to handle the job.

Default I am thankful for President Obama

Are you thankful for President Obama? Here is a reflection of thanks for President Obama that I can relate to the best:

Daily Kos: Thankful..


'...My Presdient
Yes, I'm thankful for President Obama. No, I don't think he's done everything right or done everything I would have liked. '

You can't be thankful without knocking someone else down?
Shallow indeed.
