Wasn't Bush called an idiot?? Questioned on how he could have gotten into Yale??
Well, yes, but Bush is an idiot.
And, yes, sometimes the cry of racism does seem absurd. And other times it makes those who have racist motives very uncomfortable to throw it in their face. Racism is ingrained in the American experience. It has been our national disease for a very long time. Obama did not bring it to the White House with him, it followed him.
As a black man, it saddens me to say this. But Barack has blown it for future black candidates.......
After this grand experience, I believe many white indepedents will never vote for another black man as President....Democrat or GOP!
White folks are getting tired of being called racist whenever the other side can't come up with answers to issues or questions concerning this man or if they dislike his policies!! Did we not have people asking about Bush's grades? His military service? Dan Rather lost his gig trying to fake Bush's service record! Was that racist??? No! It was stupid! If Bush was black, would it be racist then? NO!
AND THESE ARE WHITE PEOPLE THAT VOTED FOR HIM!!!
I honestly believe that many would rather have a white guy they can criticize without the friggin' race card being played! I think there's a lot of buyer remorse out there.
We are so polarized right now! I've never seen it this bad in my life time.
Obama has blown it for the bruthas...
I agree with you. It's not going to be good for women either. I don't want to vote for anyone who's going to be able to accuse me of some 'ism' if I think they suck at their job.
Who needs the headache? Screw it!

It may have followed him home but HE has made it a much beloved family pet that he wouldn't dream of being without.

Let's be honest: more than a few white people voted for him based on his race, or at least it was a major factor in their decision.
I would agree with this, and I would extend it to the blacks, also, for obvious reasons.
For me, I was a bleeding heart liberal at the time, and I shared that same idealistic mindset that we can change the world...and voting for the first black president was included in that, at least subconsciously. I figured either way, I would be part of making history, as I would be voting for either the first black president or the first female president.
I look back on this and am embarrassed. Everyone else who did the same should feel similarly.

I would vote for a black man/woman, if I believed they truly planned to serve ALL Americans fairly and justly. I didn't vote for Obama, not because he is black, but because I do not trust his motives or his vision for the United States.
