This is just a silly question -

can we say extremely short sided policies
lack of experience in leading
clueless on economy
focused more on social issues than continuing American exceptionalism
embarassment to country when traveling abroad and passiveness to other leaders
class warefare rhetoric


This is why folks do not like him -

You will never get them to (openly) admit it but the facts speak for themselves.

Take note at all of the racially tinged signage that the Tea Party carried to display their disdain of President Obama before he was even inaugurated, let alone implemented any policies.

Also note the racist emails that started to make the rounds among the Republican leadership

Then let's not forget the whole "birther" nonsense. A biracial child born in Hawaii to a White mother from Kansas was all of a sudden "suspect". Although these same people were trying to amend the Constitution in order for Arnold Schwarzenegger to be eligible to run for the presidency

Also, not to mention the on-going accusations of President Obama as being a (secret) Muslim.

Nope, no racism here folks

Classism and racism are at the heart of the Republican Party. They consist of and advocate for the rich and the White. They will not admit it.

No. It is because he is not a natural born citizen and a muslim. / sarc off

Actually it is because he has the thinnest resume to ever hold the job and is thus unqualified to be called "president".

The MAJORITY of this country was "rich and white" before this clown was elected.

In before the moonbattery accuses me of racism for criticizing the messiah

At the time, Clinton was considered to be quite radical. He was characterized as a draft dodger who went to Russia during the Vietnam War who hated the military, raped several women, and killed Vince Foster. That's pretty G*ddamn radical if you ask me. And of course, all the metaphors used against Obama today were pretty much used against Clinton too.

About the only tag used for Obama that couldn't be used for Clinton is the Muslim tag.....and i'm pretty sure they were working on that too.

Racism...Are you kidding me?

Obama is an idiot.

While Bush migh not have been that bright I at least liked and could relate to the man.

Obama is pompous and arrogant and there you will find your problems

As much as you want to believe it is the answer is no.

Possibly... but.... why then are Black republicans giving him such a hard time?

I'm sure it has nothing to do with him being a far-left authoritarian statist with delusions of grandeur. It must be because he's black.
