Hate to have to point out that Obama is somewhere below idiot level.
That crowd didn't come in full force until Bush's major screw-ups gave them an identifiable reason to. Obama hasn't been dealt the same benefit of the doubt.

Here's the specific request:
Quote:
attacks against his Kenyan heritage (which many African Americans take great pride in), his name, and his ethnicity should stop.
And that is a simple, reasonable request, isn't it?

On the other hand, it does quickly betray the poster using those techniques as childish - allowing me to quickly bypass the post in question.
Glass half-full.

Oh, I forgot. We are supposed to give Obama a free ride until he turns us into a third-world autocracy.

Aren't cowboys and southerners more culturally American than the other from one ocean and a whole continent away?

How many times have I read of Bush being ridiculed for his Texan roots, within the US and the world over.

Let's try to play fair

tl;dr: Stop disrespecting the President of the United States.
Agreed. It is not necessary to attack the man personally if the point is a disagreement with the President's policies, goals, or actions. His work in the last few months is sufficient to keep those who do not approve of him busy for months, if not years. Digging into the man personally is an act of desperation, is pathetic, and undermines the focus of more rational arguments (of which some are quite valid, I should add).
