Thirdly, racism is not used by the Obama administration to explain "failures". The major issues on the table are the economy (handed down by Bush), healthcare (passed but not liked by tea party), Afghanistan (not a racial issue), and jobs (on the upswing). Your example of Obama stating a white officer and black Harvard professor was racist is not true but his proposal of getting together over a beer was a good idea. We should all remember to try that approach. Obama only said that if he had a son, the son would look like Travon Martin. That is not racist.
If a person wants to criticize the president for job performance, that is their right to do so. Keep it on job performance and keep race out of the equation just like you said and there is no problem.

Hi buggyone: I am surprised that you did not agree with my post.
You are probably correct that it was a poor attempt but you did recognize it as sarcasm.
I continue to believe that Team Obama, including his media groupies rationalize voters disappointment in Obama's performance because they are racist and hence have a biased and unfair opinion of him.
"poor white trash, trailer trash, ethnic slurs all serve the same purpose no matter who uses them. So as a memeber of a race, nationality etc you ought to make it clear that you will not tolerate ethnic slurs sterotyping, etc.
Obama's beer summit was an embarassment. It was tantamunt of a CEO of an International company getting involved in a dispute between two file clerks. But I am not surprised because Obama likes playing at being a President like flying in the big jet, etc instead of being a President.
Buggyone remember it was Obama who began his 2008 campaign with something like "people will talk about me being different than anyone who campaign for.......something to that effect and intended to blunt the fact that he was black. It was Obama and his team that have used race to their advantage and then like you utilize disingenious responses claiming indignation that race is being mentioned.
Personal Best Regards:
