Who cares if he's black, we could have a purple president with yellow stripes and I wouldn't care. It's the fact that he's driving the country into the ground. I do think that there are racists in the world. Still, I'm not racist and I don't think that a lot of the people who dislike Obama are racist.
if anything, i think being black is why some of the people voted for him,,
i dont think it's racism at all, he's just putting us into a lot of debt and a lot of people don't agree with his choices,
i think people are more mature than were giving them credit for, sure there are some racists out there, and on the other side of what tara was saying, president bush was white and he still got a lot of crap for his decisions.
it's just part of the job description for being president. you will have a lot of people that dont like you, and that's just the way it is.
Obviously its partially true. If McCain was president but had the same laws and views, people would NOT have the same problems with it, I am sure of it! There are alot of racist people out there, even if they dont admit it.
Woah, this story is from awhile ago...Anyways, I think that its people that keep poking and prodding the issue, keep telling us we're racists, that ignite racial tensions. Carter should have kept his mouth shut, defiantly. Maybe he didn't mean to upset so many people, but obviously he has with this comment. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess.
Jimmy Carter is a joke. There is no Racism in the issue. Hes trying to put together information that isnt there. We just dont like his speech or his lessons plans. Hes trying to use Obama's popularity to boost his own popularity rating. Lets face it. Carter was one of the worst presidents of US history. He lead America into debt and failed to return hostages to America. It only took a republican 20 minutes to get those same hostages back. The Iranians knew that Republicans do not refrain from using for force for peace. However, many of Carter's policies are Obama's policies. Obama may be a 2nd Carter. Only time will tell.
I agree that the color of Obama's skin may be a leading reason for people to dislkie him. Sometimes people look for the simplest reasons not to like someone.
