So pick on the president Obama is, not his race. This idiot in California (my home state!) said this mailing wasn't racist - "some of my best friends are black". That line always means the complete opposite and is a dead giveaway for a racist every time. The tea party/birthers just can't get over the fact that THEIR president is a black man. I know racism on a very personal level and have seen it all my life and it is the despicable side of Americans that brings us shame as a country.
