It is not the majority (thankfully), but there is a large segment of America who just have never accepted the fact that we have an African-American president. And many of them never will, unfortunately.
You're so right! It has absolutely nothing to do with his policies. It has nothing to do with the fact that Obamacare will result in the largest tax hike in history on the middle class, or that it will cause (excuse me, has already caused) employers to lay off large amounts of people (or go out of business). It has nothing to do with the fact that tax increases and absurd amounts of regulations on those businesses don't help either. It has nothing to do with the fact that he passed the "dream" act by executive order. It has nothing to do with him supporting genderless marriage. It has nothing to do with him being praised by communist dictators. It has nothing to do with him telling Russia that after this election, he'll have more "flexibility." It has nothing to do with him supporting partial-birth abortion. It has nothing to do with his constant assault on religious liberties. It has nothing do with Fast and Furious. It has nothing to do with his gross incompetence with Benghazi or pussy-footing with Iran. It has nothing to do with throwing Israel under the bus. Yep, it's just because he's black.
But people like this somehow have not learned their lesson from election night -- the vast majority of Americans are not going to accept blatant lying, racism, sexism, homophobia, and classism from politicians.
Wow. Take about the homophobia part and you just described Obama.
Seriously, though. This is pretty stupid.
Man, I am not going to even respond to all of those countless
lies you just regurgitated from Fox News and the GOP. Guess what, Romney and the Republicans ran all of the stuff you mentioned in their ads and repeated them in the debates. Guess what...it didn't work on Election Night evidenced by the landslide reelection of President Obama, and the numerous senate victories by Democrats. The vast majority of America did not buy it. I did not care for George W. Bush as president, and a lot of people did not. But you never heard stuff about people asking for his birth certificate, or an elected official pointing her finger in his face, or states wanting to secede. If you want to believe the Fox News/GOP script, be my guest. I think it is waste of time and energy spending 8 years coming up with conspiracy theories and repeating the same old talking points. It's already been 4.
Yes, sadly a lot of the issues do involve race. People need to get over it and accept the fact our president is black. This is 2012, not 1962. It's a shame that people will choose another candidate simply bc of race and not leadership skills etc and (surprisingly enough) most of the predominantly white states such as the Northwest chose Romney. Instead of fighting with one another, ppl and states should learn to work together and unite as one in order to figure out how we can fix the financial and health insurance mess with our country
Well said. I agree with everything you said.
