He needs to shine up that Nobel Peace Prize. His mere presence was suppose to have us all singing kumbaya. A new age of peace and tranquility was about to be ushered in. Instead what we have, a nation and a world more divided than ever. Of course this is whiteys fault. Isn't it always?
Wasn't Obama Supposed to Usher in Post Racial America?

Another moron with poor comprehension skills. Its no wonder you are in favor of government issued freebies.
I am going to start posting this articles from 2008. This is hilarious how stupid the pro-Obama forces are.

Senator Barack Obama received several high-profile endorsements today including one from a Nobel Laureate, writer Toni Morrison. It was Morrison who famously dubbed Bill Clinton America's first black president.
In a letter to Obama, she wrote this: In addition to keen intelligence, integrity and a rare authenticity, you exhibit something that has nothing to do with age, experience, race or gender. And something I don't see in other candidates. That something is a creative imagination, which coupled with brilliance equals wisdom.
Well, Senior New Analyst Daniel Schorr agrees with Morrison in part. He says Senator Obama's appeal seems to transcend race.
DANIEL SCHORR: Welcome to the latest buzz word in the political lexicon, post-racial. It is what Senator Barack Obama signals in his victory speech in South Carolina when he tells of the woman who used to work for segregationist Strom Thurmond and now, knocks on doors for the Obama campaign.
It is what makes Bill Clinton seemed disconnected when he compares Obama's campaign to the campaigns of Jesse Jackson in 1984 and '88. The post-racial era, as embodied by Obama, is the era where civil rights veterans of the past century are consigned to history and Americans begin to make race-free judgments on who should lead them.
Post-racial began to come into vogue after Obama won the Iowa caucuses and faired well in the New Hampshire primary.
The Economist called it a post-racial triumph and wrote that Obama seemed to embody the hope that America could transcends its divisions. The New Yorker wrote of a post-racial generation and indeed, the battle-scarred veterans of the civil rights conflict of 40 years ago seemed less enchanted with Obama than those who were not yet alive then. Ambassador Andrew Young, a one-time aide to Martin Luther King, argued that former President Bill Clinton was every bit as black as Senator Obama.
The nation may have a way to go yet to reach colorblindness. Exit poll data in South Carolina indicates that Senator Obama won 78 percent of the black vote, but only 24 percent of the white vote. But perhaps equally significant, Obama won 67 percent of voters in the 18-29 age group. The post-Selma generation, you might say.
The wish for a post-racial politics is a powerful force and it rewards those who seem to carry its promise, says Peter Boyer in The New Yorker. It may still be too early to speak of a generation of colorblind voters, but maybe color blurred?
This is Daniel Schorr.

When Obama was elected a lot of outraged racists came out of the woodwork to have their delicate voices heard. Extending a hand to some of them was akin to putting it into a buzz saw. You can get a fair sampling right here at ET. No matter what he does, it's wrong: either too much or not enough, and sometimes both at the same time.

Wildchild is ugly and stupid...................freakin Obama!!
Yawn....
When Obama got elected their was a member of the Senate who belonged to the Democrat party who was a klansman. Joe Biden compared Obama to other blacks and said Obama was "clean and articulate". What does the mean for the rest of the blacks? This was shortly after Biden went to 7-11 and ordered a slurpee and put on a slight indian accent. Best of all, according the Harry Reid, Obama got elected because he didn't speak in a negro dialect. According to Harry Reid a colorblind society would be pointless because one group of people still talks funny. To top it off, they all come from the same party who think that blacks do not possess the required skill sets required to obtain an ID so they can vote.
Yeah, right. And how about your Stormfront brethren and their sympathizers? They just want to get along, eh?
This is the only thing the republican mind sees whenever Obama speaks:
I wonder if the Republican Party regrets courting the racists with the Southern strategy many moons ago.

Precisely. All of wildchild's problems and genetic failings are Obama's fault.
