(7,769 posts)...make it easier and easier for for African-Americans like me (and other Observant-Americans I hope) to see past policy issues with President Obama.
Every time I see Obama snubbed, racially made fun of, or lied about, I can relate to him and sympathize as a person without regard to his politics. Most folks' battles with racism, classism, or sexism, are very private - Obama's are all a matter of public record.
I am not enthused to be voting for Obama (this time), but I'll be damned if I contribute to the GOP's destruction of a good Man's reputation and Presidency.
The more they keep up personal attacks on a Man who has nothing personally to dislike and disrespect his legitimacy as President, the more people are gonna be pulled into that excited group of voters who will pull the lever to keep 44 right where he is.

Mark my words if he was Latin, Asian, Jewish or Native American he would still be demonized. Our best hope is not for Change, it is for death, death of an old scared Generation, they all look like that Bitch in AZ, or Newt, McCain and Rush Limpaws, their scared and the want their followers scared too and it is working it always has, but time is on our side.
