Do you include Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Rev Wright and the Black Panthers as subjects for your statements?
Yep, now those same people will probably push it that Romney is Mormon so he can't possibly be President..........Funny how people use skin color and for the most part it's never about the color of ones skin.
The Obama administration ruined any chances of any effective future black candidate being elected to that office.
Don't worry about it. Obama's election is proof that this nation has the ability to grow up. Only a matter of time when most of the bigots who operate on these grounds drop dead.
i would love to see America prosper under a black president. or a brown, white, yellow, or pink and purple polka-dotted one.
so far, it doesn't look like obama is having much success in pulling that off.
Right/tea party wants nothing more than to be able to say "see one of them was elected and they failed". "We gave them a chance and they just are not as capable". Right/tea party wants this more than a successful country under Obama.

You know the answer already, but I will spell it out to you:
1. There is no evidence--not a shred--that supports the claim that President Obama was not born in the United States.
2. To state or imply that President Obama was not born in the United States is a statement that he is not really American, not really part of our common population and heritage.
3. The only thing that distinguishes President Obama from other prominent political figures for whom there were actually serious questions about their citizenship, such as Barry Goldwater and John McCain, is that those others were white.
4. Nobody of any political party raised any serious question about the eligibility of Goldwater or McCain to serve as President.
5. Many of the people who make the baseless claims about President Obama's eligibility are the same people who tell lies about his religion and disseminate openly racist caricatures and spread other appeals to racism.
6. Many of these same people, yourself included, repeatedly make the false claim that supporters of President Obama claim that all critics of President Obama are motivated by racism. You like to call it "the race card".
All of these things combine to demonstrate that when you flaunt the President's middle name you are doing it to reinforce the idea that he is somehow "other" and un-American.
You may not be happy with the fact that your dog-whistle behavior is no longer working, but your constant appeals to racism are no longer any secret.

That's not entirely accurate. Obama made the mistake of running for president at the wrong time. Had he become president when times were good, we wouldn't be having this discussion. He decides to run, after one of the worse recessions since the 20's, high unemployment, a housing crisis, and wars in Iraq and afgan. Add to that the usually house fighting between democrats and republicans, obama was doomed and we won't see another candidate for a long time. We see what happens when a black man becomes president, racial tension just came out from under the ground.
Right/tea party wants nothing more than to be able to say "see one of them was elected and they failed". "We gave them a chance and they just are not as capable". Right/tea party wants this more than a successful country under Obama.
That's an excellent observation!
Kinda like when women did "firsts". If ONE failed, the sexists(same as racists) said, "See, ALL women can't do that job"....no matter how many times MEN had also failed.
So no blacks have a Chance to be POTUS again? Wow thats not racist I'm sure. How about it uggabugga is it true. No more blacks in the Whitehouse?
Once the Obama fiasco becomes a dim memory, I'm sure there will be another black POTUS. I hope there will be. However, I hope it will be a statesman, not a media hyped "rock star".
