.
Would that be the same Bush who had a democrat house and senate? The same democrat senate that oboy was one of? That one?

Or was there another Bush administration I'm totally unaware of?

Who are they kidding? This is the year 2012, not 1958...no one cares what color the President is..and no one wants him out because he is black..that's absurd...Who in America would want to get rid of a good and powerful president just because he was black? NO one! Maybe the guy does not have the best interests of American in mind- because he does not know what the best interests are? Could it be he is unpopular because he is inept?

I have no idea what people call Romney, since I ignore any threads (or real-life discussions) about him, and very rarely refer to him myself - and when I do, it's just plain Romney. As for the Bush nicknames, those don't sound inflammatory or mocking to me... they just sound like a form of his middle initial, most likely to distinguish him from his father. If I said George Bush or just Bush, would you know who I was referring to?

Regardless, I agree it's unnecessary in either direction - so do you agree it's also not cool to call Obama names? Or are you saying "if you do it we should do it too?" Rather childish if you believe the latter, IMO.

The least one can do is respect his title and realize that he is our President and should be respected as such. He is President Obama, not Obummer or Obozo.
where were you when Bush was president? guess some people just notice when its their guy that is being attack! but you are right!

No one? Really?? I beg to differ, judging by comments I've seen on other (un-moderated) forums/sites. I'm not saying everyone who dislikes Obama is racist, but if you think NOBODY hates him because of his race you're delusional... we have come far in terms of race relations, yes, but still not far enough in my observations.

I'm sure we all noticed that too, so stop making assumptions please... but seeing as OBAMA is the President now, it does seem more relevant to discuss issues pertaining to him. No??

But as is typical, nobody can make an observation without the other side (in both directions) saying "you did it too - neener neener!!" So lame and predictable.

do you think 90% of black people voted for Obama because because they knew all about his politics. or just because he was black. according to most liberal thinking black people would be the most racist. i would hate to see what would have happend if 90% of whites voted for Mc cain. white people would be label racist. but its ok with blacks doing it! .

What- one red neck out of twenty thousand people will blurt out "I don;t want no negro in the White House"

I just don't see a lot of people that backward- if it is a real issue - I would be kind of shocked that America would be that dull minded.
