Do people not respect our president because hes black?

Unfortunately, I am sure that plays a role. Racism...I guess it will never ever go away fully. But many of us, including myself, voted for President Obama and respect him immensely! Karen

He's a black Democrat, muslim, Sadaam Hussein impersonating non-USA born usurper. What's more he's had the temerity to suggest that America needs health reform. Heck, why should the tax payer pay more money just to have it spent on sick people that they aren't even related to. That's what they say. Unfortunately most of them are guided by right wing opinionated web sites that will pick on anything that Obama does and twist it so that he sounds anti-American. I have a cynical view that all politicians are mostly interested in themselves. I have no doubt that Obama will screw up in time. They always do. In the meantime, I derive an awful lot of pleasure from watching the mob howl derision at what has to be the best thing to hit America since I don't know what.
