Of course. I personally know many Republicans who are racist and can't stand that Obama is president. This is probably the worst time I have seen such disrespect for the President of the United States. It's disgusting in this day and age that people are judged by the color of their skin but it's true.

Thank you for your brilliant insights.

Where did the question come from? Nobody questioned Bush or Clinton.

How many blacks will vote for him because he is black?

And he is still neck in neck. That should tell you something.
It tells me that the years and years of Republican anti-intellectualism and underfunding of schools is starting to bear fruit.

Even if they are not white themselves. It has to be because he is black.
Except I rarely hear any Democrat say that. However I do hear many Republican say that everyone that voted for Obama did so b/c he's Black.

Then, you must be bored reading so many of the discussions on this forum ... where, obviously, the President's race, or what people percieve to be his race is a central theme.

You are confusing Obama with President Clinton who was a self described left moderate politican. That's why I liked Clinton he had his leftest ways, but he knew a balanced country was better for everyone.

Romney & Clinton have way more in common that Clinton & Obama.

Are you kidding me? Obama is so left he can't even see the center line.

How can that be when there are many white Democrats? I seriously doubt that they voted for Obama because he was black. Most people vote along party lines and are not going to switch their votes to the opposite party based on the race of a candidate.

"Many" Republicans? Define "many". Why would any Republican vote for a Democrat regardless of race and vice versa?
