Is Obama A Racist?

[mbass]

Look, we need to get past this "race" issue. Look deep inside yourself and see if if you disagree with the current administration because of political views or because of skin color. If, just once, you thought of anything but political views you are in the wrong. I disagreed with government controlled health care during the Clinton administration and do so now. I have always disagreed with big government and do so now. I disagree with bailing out companies that drove themselves into trouble using tax payer dollars. These are my reasons for not supporting the Obama administration, not his heritage. I say again, GET PAST THE RACE ISSUE!!!!

The original post by Tea For One was questioning Obama's racism, not my own.

The fact of the matter is, anytime socialism is involved, racism is involved. Either the elevating of one race out of pride, or the bringing low of one race out of guilt.

It's a question, not a statement. I daresay NONE of us at this forum, and in fact 99.99% of other Americans who do not support the Usurper feel so because of his policy, his statements, his associations, his track record, his amorality, ad infinitum. It has NOTHING to do with the skin color of this horrible man. My point, ronwill, is that it is OBAMA who makes an issue of skin color. Look at the facts objectively, they speak for themselves.

Mbass and Tea For One, I understand what you're saying but still believe all sides need to stay away from the race issue. We, especially, need to concentrate on true issues that interest us. Whether those be government heath care, 2A rights, not allowing the UN to start dictating our laws, etc. No one wins by playing the race card and it only separates even more anyone involved.

Both are equally good points. I couldn't care less about race, but one can't help notice another's perspective if one is paying attention.

Do you really have to even ask the question?
