It's fairly obvious that the election of a black president has enraged many. We saw this in the little old lady that told John McCain that she was afraid that Obama was an Arab, in things like Obama Bucks or Obama Waffles, in obvious bigots like Newt Gingrich or Donald Trump rising to the top in GOP presidential polls, and in the formation of white supremacy militias, which have been on the rise in the past several years.
Frankly, I figured in 1008, that 2012 would be wild due to white racists being unable to control themselves, and this is What we've seen. But I don't think that things are actually worse. Some people were happy just as long as black people were subordinate, but became completely unhinged as soon as a black person became president. Given US history, this isn't surprise. And it's also clear that a large part of the anger is because, unlike a person like Allen West or Herman Cain, Obama is unashamed of his skin color, and unwilling to reassure bigots that they are far superior to the average black person. Instead, Obama listens to popular rappers, sings soul music, and is happy to speak at the NAACP or at the CBC. Anti-black bigots must find this very threatening, since it upsets their worldview. And that's why they take to the streets waving voodoo doctor signs, or write racist screeds in the comment section of Fox Nation or the like. They're terrified.
And of course, should he lose the election and not have "the next 4 years", you would consider that racism, right?
Could not possibly be because of his violating constitutional law, forcing his unpopular laws throught congress (without being read) or appointing an incredible amount of czars who only report to him while being granted cabinet powers could it?
Couldn't be because he is a disaster of a president, without regard to his race, right?

And yet, with your every post you show your statement to be false.
When you find an ant mound, stirring it doesn't produce more ants, it just puts them in a disarray and brings out more of them. It is the only thing that has happened with Obama as the candidate and then hell broke loose with him taking the White House.
That is not worsening, that is exposing the realities, underlying and plaguing this nation. Denial is nothing but Ostrich Syndrome and those (approximately 58) who voted as such, provide the illustration.
All of this is only demonstrated to your pre-set decision. Anything negative on the subject would be used, by you, to justify your statement. A statement which is only an extension of your personal opinion.
A poll such as this proves nothing but the opinions of the people voting, not a social proof.
Because nobody did it with bush, clinton, carter, or any other president. People say his middle because they want to imply he is a muslim or not actually american. You have no reason to use his middle name other than as a racial tactic.
I seem to remember the use of "W" or "dubya" in a demeaning manner. Also "Slick Willie". Were those names racist, or is the middle name or nickname of a president only racist or demeaning when it concerns Obama?
You have no reason to use his middle name. People only use it because its not an american sounding name, so they say it to imply he is not american. That is racist and you know it.
How is it racist to be called a non American? Other than in your own mind, that is.
You don't want to accept my answers. Its a racist tactic. It was never done to any of the white presidents, but you are doing it to a black president. Its racist. you don't want to accept that.

Example of a racist avoiding a direct question. IMO
