Our new president do you think he

It is interesting that his supporters keep bring up the race issue. We are told that we are a racist country yet when I walk through a mall in almost any city in the US I see all types of couples. Even in my small community in rural America we have mixed couples of every kink. It is not something that seems to bother people and they don't notice it until some bean counter wants to know the racial break down. I was told when I moved here almost 20 years ago that the town was very divided because there were those from the northern part of the country and then there were those from the southern part and you know what they are like. They were talking about the Italians. Many of our race problems will go away if we stop focusing on it all the time and make it an issue.

He is the president, period. Race should never have entered into it. But you'll have to go back to the campaign to see who brought it in there. . Did we call Bush the 43rd WHITE president? I don't think so.

yes it is amazing how when you talk about negatives saying a person is black is considered racist but to call a person black in a positive it is not...if a white person says they don't like a person who just happens to be black is often called racist, people don't take personality and other things in to consideration, I think people are way too sensitive about the race thing and people are walking on egg shells in fear they are going to be called racist....and of course there is the reverse racism but that is another story...I just wish people would forget about the colour, no one is perfect we all have faults and we all having feelings...

I can understand why it is exciting that a Black person has become president. I know I would have been excited if Gov. Romney won, both of us being Mormons (even though he wasn't my first choice). What I don't understand is why having a president who is Black automatically makes anyone who doesn't support him, racist. Prs. Nixon was our first president who was a Quaker, but I don't remember people equating disagreeing with him with hating Quakers. Prs. Carter was the only president who was submarine qualified in the Navy. I guess today's "logic" means that if I disagreed with Carter I don't like Submariners. To me it is just as racist to consider Obama a great man simply because he is Black as it would be to consider him a bum because he's Black.

Actually color has everything to do with it. He is the most far left president America has had. He is pro abortion, pro same gender unions, more for homosexual rights and the reason he was elected was because people seemed to think that because he has part black in him, everything is going to be fine, the world will now enter a period of peace and prosperity. If he were not part black, then what people knew about him, even if he was a charismatic speaker, he would not have become president of the United States. When I consider the people who elected him and said that they love humanity, I am saddened. Love humanity then why hate the unborn? Maybe America will wake up, that just because a man is black or part black does not make him a demigod or a wonderful person, that they have flaws just as us horrible white people.

Now that he has been sworn in, he should simply be called President Barrack Obama and nothing more I don't care what color he is or isn't. All I care is to see what sort of a job the man can do and whether or not he can get this country out of the mess that it is in.
