The race card president
We'll probably never purge society of racial stupidity. Holding it to a minimum, however, remains a fine American goal.
It's hard to marginalize the race-card mentality, however, when the country's first black president and his supporters wield it like a splitting ax.
That track record on this is crystal clear. In 2008, when campaigning in Missouri, Sen. Barack Obama set the stage for his national run by saying his opponent, Sen. John McCain, would seek to "scare" voters because Obama didn't look like past presidents and had a "funny name."
You don't need the imagination of Dr. Seuss to see that race card.
An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
First of all he is not the first black President. He is more white than black hate to say. To be black I would think your mother and father need to be black.
