So now that you accept Obama was born in Hawaii......?
You really have to give this a rest.
That may be a problem. Some people made Obama's birth place investigation - their job. Do you want to increase unemployment? What will these thousands do now?
But wait, there is still hope. Obama's father may have been kicked from Harvard. That is proof that he can't be president.
Why haven't you seen it this bad before. You know why, because POTUS is nonwhite. In the past, people complain about the issues. Now, it's he's not American, he's half whatever or he's this or that. It's a person's given right to complain about POTUS and the issues.
Sure, it's all because he's non-white. After all, there were certainly no attempts to deligitimize GWB. Well, except for 8 long years "Wah, he stole the vote!" whining. And the "fake but accurate" scandal that brought an inglorious end to Dan "What's the frequency Kenneth" Rather's career. Oh, and does the term "truther" ring a bell?
As for Bill Clinton, perhaps you forgot that the Republicans literally tried to throw him out of office. But I'm sure that's because he was black.
We can even go all the way back to the 1980s, lest we forget the Borking of Robert Bork that has turned every subsequent Supreme Court Justice nomination into a contest of blowhard carnival barkers.
If you think the kind of political rancor we're witnessing today started with the Obama era, you have either an extremely short or conveniently selective memory.

I think he was trying to say that the rancor never took on a racial component before. If you think it has, than perhaps you are the one with memory issues.

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...
Your WEAK!!
And for the record, The People did not vote for a Black man, They voted for a half black half white Man (bi racial). He is what he is.
The only black man to have Originally blown it for the so called "bruthas" your bragging about was non other than jesse jackson and anyone for the likes of him will Never get voted in.
Obama is no reverant wright and on the contrary to what you have said. This guy has not played the "Race" card!! but given the circumstances that was panned out for him regarding tea party, birthers, trumph, called a "Liar" (only president to have experience this) i would be all over the "race" card but Obama is waaayyy better than that.
He has done something no other President has ever done, promoted more Equality amongst the races, gender, orientation within the governmental ranks.
And lets face it, he wasnt exactly left much else than a very broken economy and a country that was very much hated everywhere else around the globe.
And not trying to play into the "Race" card garbage, i aint no brutha.

He has not be in office for two years. Give him a break. Bush was in office for 8 yrs. He left the country in bad shape. Oh by the way, how do you know that any of the past presidents were not Black?
