, an African American president who wants to improve heaithcare for all people...can't you try to like the president more?
^^^^^ This is why America is so screwed up right here.
We have people like this actually voting.
To the OP, I base my support of a president on their policies and their actions, not their skin color. A bad president who happens to be black is still a bad president.
For centuries, African Americans faced adversity and discrimination from slavery, de-facto economic segregation, legal segregation, denied services, forced to sit in back of the bus
A 14-year old kid named Emmett Till was murdered (kidnapped and tortured) for simply whistling at a white woman who was cashier at a grocery store in 1950s Mississippi and the murderers despite compelling evidence? Were acquitted)
Then Rosa Parks
Little rock 9
The Albany Georgia desegregation
The Alabama state trooper who shot Lee Jackson a peaceful protester in Selma, Alabama
The March on Washington
Assassination of MLK
The Mississippi burning during Freedom Summer...the klan coordinated murder with state police
You had systematic corrupt absence of justice...and a system where before civil rights act of 1965, black people couldn't even vote without this manipulative poll tax and literacy test abuse
And now in the 2000s, an African American president who wants to improve heaithcare for all people...can't you try to like the president more?
No, I can't.
Obama isn't Emmett Till. Obama isn't Rosa Parks. Obama never lived under segregation. Obama never met Lee Jackson. Obama wasn't in the march on Washington. Obama wasn't with MLK. Obama wasn't there during Freedom Summer.
None of those things have the slightest relevance to Obama.
You know what? My family came from Austria. Duke Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated and that was the starting point of WWI. Tens of millions of people suffered and died because of WWI. So maybe folks should try to like me better because of that, what do you think?
I feel no more responsibility to try to like Obama because of Rosa Parks than you do to try to like me because of Ferdinand.
What you're doing is just spouting politically correct babble.

The fact Obama is black is meaningless to me.
I don't hate the man, I hate his policies and his agenda. I believe they are destroying America.

Does your caretaker know that you're up at this hour?

You are right, despite all of Obama's lies, half-truths, Bush-policies, not finding out about things until the media tells him, and war mongering...we should support Obama, based on the color of his skin.

Obama has no linkage to the history you cited.
As for 'systematic corrupt absence of justice', that will be obama's legacy.
The wrong man for the job is the wrong man regardless of the color of his skin.
The job is SO much bigger than the man.
Watching Obama try to "be" president is similar to watching Stevie Wonder try to "be" a Formula One driver.
