When did the President call you a racist ?

I have yet to see him or MSNBC call all republicans racist. The only speech he ever made that even came close to saying that is the one where he said

" There will always be people who dislike me because of the color of my skin"

The only way he is calling you a racist there is if YOU dislike him for the color of his skin and if so, then you are indeed a racist.

Socialized medicine using the plan a Conservative think tank developed, a Republican governor implemented, and that forces citizens to buy insurance from private companies?

And please explain how his belief in "income redistribution" is different than any other President who didn't eliminate ALL taxes? Spending tax money is by definition income redistribution, yet for some reason, every other President who has raised taxes at some point and/or kept taxes in place (including Republicans) isn't a Socialist hell bent on income redistribution. What makes Obama's taxes so Socialist, compared to... Nixon's taxes? Or Reagan's taxes?

I don't know about the Muslim thing because I don't care if he is or isn't, we have freedom of religion in this nation and I think that is great, so I tend to tune people out who want to discuss it.
You can't come in to the conversation saying you're going to explain things, then say "who cares what 1/2 my party believes."

But what do either of those things have to do with race?
Obama has what every American president has done and is using ideas pushed & implemented by Republicans, yet despite all this, he's the Socialist scare looking to take your hard-earned money... Why is that? What's so unique about Obama's doing that stops his predecessors from getting that same label?

And why is despite all his professions that he's Christian, and all the non-Muslim things he does like EAT BACON, is it still in doubt what his religion is?

Stop with the gosh damn race thing. It is old, wornout, tiredsome, and plain ignorant. Many of us have inlaws and family that are bi-racial these days, color is not the fudgin issue.

Just maybe sometimes in life, it is the person, a personality, his attributes, his honesty, or having none, being a forthright person, with integrity, and sincerity. And being able to believe what the person tells us

A person with integrity, tries to make peace with everyone, wants unity for all, not for special interest, or in his best interest, but for all races. Dont' care about his color or his fudgin religion at this point, but some of you must, because you constanlty bring it up on a daily gosh damn basic.

A community orgainzer, he must have been, because the way he runs this Country, is that of what a community orgainzer would do. Get it straight, no one cares anymore about the color of his skin, and by the way, he has white in that skin also.

And this late in Obama's game, really think it is the color of his skin, when everyone knows him, his personality, his blame games, his lies and deceit, and distorting the real facts of a important issue. Really! think it his is color, don't think so.

I see I haven't missed much while I was away...same ol tired race card being played...

I'll take Tim Scott, Hermain Cain, Larry Elder, & Deneen Borelli and I'm sure they could do a better job....

Obummer is inept-and I don't think race has anything to do with it.

Since he is a dark skinned white man, IMO there is no racial issue!
He is, after all, a half-breed; half U.S. Caucasian, half Kenyan Negro.
I once thought him to be an empty suit with a golden voice.
However, I have come to realize that he is mostly empty suit, and a quite poor speaker.

You got it pretty right! i come to realize that Obama's white half, and his black half, are both full of hot air.

On his behalf i see no integrity, that is both halfs of him. When your a man of integrity and scrupples, you don't pit people against each other, or treat one race more special.

And when you screw up, you definitely take the blame because after all your a man of your word and have integrity. When your insecure, and have no confidence in your own judgement, you then blame anyone that you can think of, and he has. And by far, should win a prize at the blame game.

What does this really say about those whom ignored his policies when campaigning and voted by the color of his skin.

That's one strange way to vote for the man who will run the country.

If we have to talk about race all the time because Obama is black I can't wait until he leaves so we can change the conversation.

I'd love to see a black republican elected... just to see the hypocrisy...
