Obama is president because he's black.
No white person, with his resume, would have had a chance to be nominated for president, let alone actually become president. Obama is the first affirmative action president.
Lot's of people were eager to prove they weren't racist by voting for a black man. Hopefully, the same people won't feel obligated to vote for him again, just because he's black.
It would be better if people voted, based on content of character, instead of color of skin. Originally Posted by joe bloe

Personally I would just say it ranks up there as plain ignornant and complete signs of the poster being a racist.
Right or wrong. Disagree or Agree....I, like millions others voted for Obama initially...because I wanted a new direction for this country. That's what a democracy is all about. People of different political views voting on the candidate that most closely fits their hopes for this country. We'll have different views on how that is to be accomplish, w/o question
Am I disappointed in his 1st term (notice I used 1st term)....hell yes.
Did I think Romney outscored him, in last night's debate, simply put, yes.
Do I think Obama will win again...without question.
But nonsense, like this above quoted post. Talking about his skin color...is racist and definitely a sign of total and complete ignorance ....without question.
Irregardless of this poster's position on real issues, this type of post reflects his total lack of independent thinking and ability to process views and express opinions, which I would hope no matter who you support as President, would be viewed with a complete total lack of independent thinking. And who's views are simply laughed at.
I guess now, carry on with the silly name calling
