I never cared for him, still don't like him, and his color i can care less about. Make it about the issues, and what he is doing to make things drastically better for the American People, which i have not seen any proof of thus far.
What issues? Make it specific. Make a list. What issues, specifically.

The liberals were looking for someone black to promote at every step of his way, and he was the first person they could find that wouldn't totally screw things up for himself.
Who told you that crap?

Is that your opinion? Or are you speaking for everybody on this forum?

Then maybe we could move past all the racial mudslinging. Why is it that whenever someone disagrees with Obama, they are instantly labeled a racist? I'm so sick of being accused of being racist simply because I vehemently disagree with this man's (and his administration's) controversial policies. I am not and never have been racist, yet I'm not allowed to disagree with the POTUS for fear of being slapped with a label.
Why do you let it bother you? The Left has played the race card so many times it is ineffective and meaningless now.

Let them froth and sputter all they like.

That's is truly their only answer to the valid criticisms of obama's radical policies. They can't debate the facts or issues - all they can do is play the race and hate card.

They have abused the privilege and all it does is make people laugh at them.

If that "someone" is so tired of posts about racists, then WHY WOULD THAT SOMEONE START A WHOLE NEW THREAD ABOUT THE SUBJECT?

You know, it seems to me that it's just common sense that if you disagree with specific Obama policies it would be MUCH EASIER to just start a thread about any one of those specific issues rather than start a thread about how tired you are of reading posts "by people accusing those who disagree with Obama AND HIS POLICIES as being racist"........

What does that mean anyway, "disagree with Obama AND his policies"?
I thought you all only disagree with his policies and had no problems with the man individually.

Sanrene, you can say "the left has played the race car so many times it is ineffective and meaningless now" over and over and over for a million times and that still will not make your declaration true. Sorry.

Please tell that to Mr. Cheney too.

O.M.G. Desperation creates very silly and ignorant posts! Maybe some people would do better to stick to the information/reasoning sent to them in email each day.

Do you think everyone posting here is an idiot???

No need to respond to him and those like him. They are from stormfront, if you go to stormfront, (which I have) they openly brag about having people here "telling the truth". They just use "left" as code word. This forum is filled with white supremacists.

Hence the constant bashing of racism and talk of "race card" a typical defense of a racist who tries to down play racism while finding way's to talk about how bad Europeans have had it as a comparison. They will always bring up something about European slavery or Italians & Irish having it as bad as Blacks in America. Also note comments about Obama using Affirmative action to get where he is. To them no Black person is intelligent enough to go to an Ivy league school.

For hundreds of years, even if you had an ounce of black in you, you were black. Now SUDDENLY, we have a black president and he's biracial. Even a year ago, those who were mixed with black, were black. Racism disgusts me.

That said, yes, I wish people would stop dismissing any nonblack conservative critic of Obama as racist, because a lot of them couldn't give a damn.
Prove it by posting only about SPECIFIC issues/policies with which you disagree with Obama..........and simply explain your position for debate.
