If there were voters who actually felt that way, they were a small minority, but it seems easier for you to cast all of us in the same light. Because of this, it makes it difficult to have any sort of intelligent conversation with people of your mindset. This type of thinking, and lashing out at others in this manner, is the biggest reason for the great divide in our country. You leave no room for conversation and the sharing of ideas.
Sorry to the other posters for the digression from the topic at hand.

Well, his successor appears to come from what you say is a "small minority"
As a regular visitor here, you surely note many of the posts, either with an adjective in front (black) or in the post a reference o his race, or the race problem used as a measuring stick for him.
I object to most of what he did, but realistically know in my heart that the birther situation was racial. Our President held that view until a few months ago, and was very clear he was only "renouncing" his actions and words in a sarcastic manner. From that, I surmise he feels the same way now as he did on the birther thing AND the Central Park Five. I am simply referring to factual events not subject to interpretation
