Marxists are multiculturalists, if you don't want to except their rules for society you are a racist. The Communist manifesto is their bible and they want to ram it down your throat..

I'm sure some people have it in for Obama because he's biracial. However, I think most of his critics are disappointed in him because of his performance as President, not his skin color.

NPR calls him Mr. Obama.

Could it possibly be that US citizens have no more patience left and no more trust for politicians and that is what your seeing with Obama's treatment.

As a non-American looking in from the outside, it does seem that Obama has more
opposition to anything he wants to do than any other president in history... and you have
to ask is race a factor in what we are seeing? Even the office of the president of the united
states does not seem to carry as much respect for a lot of Americans since a black man
was elected.

You are correct. No matter how much some try to deny it. And it comes from both whites and blacks.
To deny that racism plays a part in Obama hate is just stupid and intentional denial.
Some whites just can't accept it. And some blacks call him an Oreo - - and don't think he does enough for blacks.
Its really pathetic.
But do you deny that many (millions of?) people also voted for obama because he was black?
How is that also not racist?
You don't get to have it both ways by ignoring one form of racism while complaining about another.

While it's dispicable and inaccurate to label anyone racist, solely based on the fact that they disagree with Obama's policies, I find it odd that righties are getting so overly defensive.
How can you be so blind as to not see racism toward Obama?
The same people who are continually swearing they're not racist are the same that for years now have begged for birth certificates, and have come up with crazier scenarios than the Magic Bullet Theory.
Of course it's childish are wrong to pull a race card where it isn't applicable, but that's far from equal to stating there is no racism toward the man. You'd have to be blind to not see the racism at times. It's thinly veiled to keep the spineless in the clear, but us grown ups see it just fine.

say anything bad about the current potus and your are proclaimed a racist time and time agian.
thats how his supporters view him the rest of us just view him as the worst president in us history.
its like the dude who farts in the elevator and goes "who farted? the smeller is always the feller"
meh race relations have been set back 50 years because of the left aka progressives.
and that is a fact.
In 2012 when over 90% of blacks vote for Obama will you consider that racist?

That the vast majority of blacks voted for Obama is somehow seen as reasonable. Its understandable. It makes sense. It makes sense to justify their racism? OK Why is it not racist to accept blacks being unable or unwilling to rise above race when voting, which they clearly did in 2008 and will undoubtably do in 2012. Is it not racist to suggest that their voting patterns are acceptable? Of course it is because you are reducing the standard of objectivity you are applying to them.
Now when you have a small percentage of whites who voted for Obama in 2008 switch their vote in 2012 what do you expect that will be called? It will obviously be called racist. His performance will have had nothing to do with it?
The entire business is comical. A far greater percentage of blacks voted for Obama because he is black, hence voting entirely based on racism than the percentage of whites who voted against Obama because he is black. You can not look at the numbers and come to any other conclusion.
