They became "aware" in the past few months and can't grasp that these current problems have roots that are several years deep.

I think you're dead on...for some reason a lot of people just now got interested in politics.

If you don't believe he is eligible, you are a racist.

I voted against him and I do not support his policies, but to say "I don't think he is eligible" just proves racism or prejudice. How is he not eligible?

You may not think he's got enough experience, but he'd still be eligible in that situation...so clearly you don't believe he's a citizen, which is a CLEAR sign of prejudice/racism.

Case-in-point.

Racism clearly expressed here...by someone who pretty much spews racism in every post.

Calling him Hussein Obama is clearly a sign of racism...

Even the most anti-Bush crazies never called him Walker Bush...

42 personal associations with radicals.
6 associations with radical, anti-american groups.

So far these groups and personal associations:

1. Got him into Harvard.
2. Got him a job.
3. Got him a home.
4. Got him into politics.
5. Baptized his Children.
6. Conducted his marraige ceremony.

He's also appointed radicals to Czar positions, nominated person after person who hasn't paid their taxes or has one scandal after another associated with them......

My father always told me that you can judge someone by the friend they keep......"I rest my case, your honor!!!"

Haha... so anyone who disagrees with you ideologically is a "radical" that is "anti-American" (even moveon.org?!?). Most of those "connections" were absolutely minimal at best (just look at Ayers - he served on a radical conservative's education board with him).

I guess in your mind all Democrats are anti-American, then? Perhaps you should take a couple nights off from watching Hannity. You have been brainwashed.

Welcome to the real world where different values coexist within a diverse nation. There are times we need conservative values and times we need liberal. It's a balancing act that's kept us strong and agile as a nation. Just look at how the next great depression was avoided by these supposed "radical" policies.

Hope you join us one day in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

It's a conscience effort to try to say that "he's not one of us."

If his name was Bob or Dick, those nakes would never be an issue.

You know it!!

How am I not being intellectually honest? You simply support my claim that anyone who admits to using the name "hussein obama" to imply a negative connotation is a bigot fearful of "others" (or, as you put it, "not one of us".)

The poster in question (who has suspiciously not been banned from this site despite blatant racism against Middle Easterners) has never explained his/her reasoning for using this name negatively. I do not wish to presume, so I have given him/her a chance to explain the position.

So far, no answer. Racial / religious bigotry remains the only logical explanation.

On the flip side of this coin, anybody who disagreed with Bush and was not white was a racist as well

See how easy it is to misuse the word racist as so many on the left do?

I read someplace that the RNC is standing back, no official denunciation of all this Glenn Beck-Sarah Palin-type imbecility, even though they´re embarrassed by it and laugh at it, because they want the votes in 2010. Not turning the rock back over, letting the bugs come swarming out. They did the same thing in the early 2000s with the Religious Right. Then when they werent useful anymore they cut them adrift.

Read someplace?

What lack of character? You've given no examples of what would constitute a lack of character on the part of President Obama.

Has President Obama ....
- Done the toe tap boogie while seeking gay sex in an airport restroom stall like Senator Craig?
- Sought gay sex from underage male pages in Congress like Rep Foley?
- Had his name and phone number show up in the little black book of the DC Madam as did Senator Vitter?
- Fathered children out of wedlock?
- Run around with floozies while his wife was sick was cancer like Newt Gingrich did?

If you're going to accuse our President of lacking character, you need to prove the case, not just make empty accusations.
