the politics of race and obama

 I was at first against Obama.every time someone challenged him  on the campaigne trail in `08 about what he said he would do,they were called racist.i began to feel as though he was using race to hide the fact he had no plan.but,since his election,i have also been sickened by the way my country has reacted.he is  blamed for things he had no control over.gas,the loss of our aaa rating.which was lost because there has not been any real attempt by dem,or rep.to control the u.s. dept.instead,the keep cutting taxes.that would be like a dead beat dad quitting a job to keep from paying child support.cut the money coming in,but keep spending like always.and the gop always targets the poor and the elderly.sure,it is an easy target.but what about all the pork and cooperate welfare?and then this myth the rich pay more in taxes,please,do they think we are that stupid?and the myth that corporations pay high taxes.the top ones actually have not paid any taxes in the last decade.then there is the way some in the gop act.getting right in his face trying to provoke him.what do they want ,him to punch them?has it come to that?any other president would not be treated the way he has.imagine if a dem.had tried this on bush.he would have been locked away in some jail.and he at least dosent shut down news interviews with a lame 'your interview is going into national security 'like what happened with Colin Powell.so.i think America has missed an opportunity.and the reason is racial.and i fear the next president will make bush look like a light weight.
