It seems like President Obama is getting a free pass for being black. During the Primaries last year, he was always asked the question after Hillary Clinton. He wasn't asked the hard questions like some of the other canidates. So many people came out to vote (I had to wait for 4 hours unlike in 2004 where I only had to wait 10 minutes) just because of the historical context of his ticket. Now he is following a lot of the same policies as past President Bush and nobody (especially the left, MSNBC commentators, CNN, etc.) is faulting him but would fault President Bush in a heartbeat. He is not delivering to his campaign promises and nobody on the left is criticizing him. Sarah Palin got treated horribly by the media and the left but if anybody on the right treats Obama like that, they would be quickly labeled as a racist. Everybody on here keeps talking about FOX News, Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney, etc. and not talking about the current administration and how much mess they are adding to the mess that President Bush created. Now he is criticizing FOX News but MSNBC always criticizes republicans from Michelle Bachmann, Dick Cheney, Joe Wilson, Sarah Palin, John McCain, George Bush (both of them), John Ensign, Mark Sandford, etc. but I guess to the one-sided liberals....this is OK. I am just fed up with the double standard. Most of America isn't racist...Obama got elected...but some people are fed up with his policies.
Obama like that, they would be quickly labeled as a racist.
I guess when you start threads claiming that Obama is getting a pass solely because he is black without any supporting evidence, the racist tag seems pretty appropriate.

I get it..Since Obama is black, he should have fixed all Bushes mistakes in 10 months..Brothers never get a chance. lol. I think Ill pass on the OPs covert racism.
wait you still haven't called him the Messiah! because if he was the Messiah then you might have had a legimate complaint as to why he hasn't turned a $12 trillion dollar economy around in 10 months!
