Obama, minus his policies, good or bad, that aside, ....has along with his
wife, daughters, the family dog, his deseased" family members, minus his mother's side", have had to endure some of the most henious vile personal attacks, and disrespect for the office of the Presidentacy", not seen or recorded in the history books, going all the way back, to Gerorge Washington.
What he wears, eats, reads, music he listens to, does for relaxation, takes his
kids to', have all been subjected", to viscious hate filled personal attacks, mostly on his sheer presence, not having much if little to do with the his acural policies". It's been in the open", seen and heard, in the raw", supported by many as accectable", denounced by few". And for this thankless" country,
that has not, so far into his 3 years as president, had a completed" against us
from start to finish terrorist attack, yet all of the hysteria generated", at least
in this country is focused on him!, to the lowest, evil denominator"., For this
country, dosen't deserve, this quality of a man, of any color". Obama, thank god!, comes from a culture and a heritage", that has a several hundred of
years old, emotional history of strenght, identity, and humility"

Jerry, I would be all for adapting to change and jumping on the ship of progress, if there was any progress! I don't care what color or gender the President of the U.S. is. Two things matter to me. Are they a Christian and are they smart enough to choose smart advisers and to lead this country. I've been "swimming" for three years and I'm tired of it.

I could care less if any POTUS was black, white, yellow, blue, female, male, monkey, or hippopotamus! If the country was running well and the economy was robust, it really wouldn't matter to me!
.....but it isn't! In fact, it stinks!
So, out you go in 2012, Obama! Bottom line!!!!

when i see president obama i see a man who happens to be black. others see a black man. not much of a difference? wrong. it's all about perception. i learned at a very early age that the only thing color has to do with a person regarding whether they will be good or bad is, none. what a person's color can and does affect is how the system and some parts of society treat them. i vowed to not be part of that system (as it is inherently incorrect) and we adopted our multi-racial children. i told the adoption agency, "we don't care what color they are, only if they have disabilities that are out of our ability to handle and/or pay to treat". they said he does have a disability, he is black and we are trying to place him in, texas... what a world we live in.

Those of us who refuse to adapt to change will surely be left behined.So get on the ship of progress or learn to swim!

Naturally, when white guys look at Obama, they want to see a man who is "only half black." Who wouldn't want to take the credit for a man who is not only intelligent, but thoughtful. A man who really tries to see more than one dimension of an issue, unlike some presidents of the past. And I'd like to add, I've learned a lot from the "Black politics on the web" site. There are not a lot of places where an elderly white man can easily go to hear a variety of Black viewpoints.

Obama is only part black. Most Americans don't look at Obama and see a black man. If anything to do with race at all-what he may accomplish doing is to possibly turn off the independant voters from voting for anybody of color for a awhile and that's about it.

Obama only changes my view of Obama -- The notion that he would influence my opinion of other individuals simply because they have a similar melanin level is beyond absurd.
