Why is it that so many people refuse to understand you can be unhappy with Obama without being FOR Clinton, or accused of being racist?

BOTH candidates suck, IMO. Yet, any little criticism of Obama and the Obamamaniacs start screaming you are in the Clinton camp, or they pull the race card out.

Obama is a damn disappointing candidate, regardless of his skin color and cultural background.

Or in the parlance of a past election "He is no Jack Kennedy".

Who also sucked as a president, I might add.

And in case anyone is wondering "well then, who WAS a good president" my answer is: we don't have them in this country. We need to change the face of the presidency, and return to a true balance of power among the three constitutional branches of government.

In fact, IMO, it is time to revamp the constitution itself, modernize it for our needs today. One of the things I think is important is to have a figure head as president, as they have in Ireland, for instance. Then put the true power in the legislature, and the Speaker position. There have been times in the past when a strong Speaker resulted in some of the best governance.

But I digress.
