Do you believe people should treat Obama different?

I don't because to do so would be bigoted and racist.

I don't really care about his shoes or his tie, just his actions.

Bigots and racists are the ones that need to play the race card.

When Obama was elected I was thinking this would finally end the race issue and that is good. Problem is, some people don't want it to end. They want to bring it into everything. They miss the 60's. The glory days.

I can understand your enthusiasm over have Obama as president. Are you going to apply the same standards that you would apply to anyone else?

When Bush said something you disagreed with it was a lie.

Killing innocent women and children in a war that is undeclared in a country we are not even at war with was a war crime when Bush did it.

When Obama makes a campaign promise and breaks it you explain it away with somebodys sweet tater pie. How cozy and innocent that deception was.

When Obama orders up some more drones to strike villages in Pakistan over the TV. That is suddenly a minor detail.

I see the good things he does as well as the not so good.

Example:

When it became apparent that Rev Wright was a racist, he publicly separated him self from Wright's views. That took guts:

"But the remarks that have caused this recent firestorm weren't simply controversial. They weren't simply a religious leader's effort to speak out against perceived injustice. Instead, they expressed a profoundly distorted view of this country - a view that sees white racism as endemic, and that elevates what is wrong with America above all that we know is right with America; a view that sees the conflicts in the Middle East as rooted primarily in the actions of stalwart allies like Israel, instead of emanating from the perverse and hateful ideologies of radical Islam.

As such, Reverend Wright's comments were not only wrong but divisive, divisive at a time when we need unity; racially charged at a time when we need to come together to solve a set of monumental problems - two wars, a terrorist threat, a falling economy, a chronic health care crisis and potentially devastating climate change; problems that are neither black or white or Latino or Asian, but rather problems that confront us all."

Are you expressing a profoundly distorted view of this country - a view that sees white racism as endemic Bobert?
