Too many White folks in this country for Obama to succeed, even if he IS doing all the right things. Defending the constitution against bigotry, supporting equal rights for everyone, ensuring medical and financial security for everyone, withdrawing troops from Iraq, bailing out, his auto bailout saved American motor companies and thousands of jobs in the motor industry. Yeah, increased taxes suck ( and bank bailouts, also ), but it's for the greater good. Obama is only a "bad president" if you're elderly, White, Republican, bigoted, or brainwashed by Fox news. If Obama set tax cuts for everyone, America would still hate him. Blacks have to work twice as hard just to gain the same respect Whites do. This is a very racist country and it shows. ..Another thing some people don't ponder, or perhaps more than I thought.. he isn't particularly fond of White people, and you take into account there is a system implemented in this country that only favors the wealthy ( specifically the wealthy White ), and a large percentage of Blacks are living in shitty conditions.. without health care, equal employment opportunities, etc. Fortunately, there are plenty of Government and Federal jobs, which almost anyone is guaranteed if applied for.. Black, White, Mexican, etc. Remember the Obama administration is ( or maybe already has successfully ) pushed for crack sentencing reform.. which favors Blacks, as a result of the disparity ( racist disparity, at that ) sentencing differential between possession of crack cocaine ( affecting predominately inner city Blacks ) and powder cocaine ( affecting wealthier Whites, primarily ).. He wants to close the gap, because racism and class warfare IS a part of America.. and he wants equality for his people, but I wont say all of his agendas are racially motivated.. afterall, he is still just another politician, at the end of the day....
