(185 posts)6. Hmm, that's rather melodramatic.
I actually think baby Bush's military invasion of Iraq is more comparable to Saddam's attempted military annexation of Kuwait than a black guy being president.
These psychos keep asserting what a bad, oppressive president Obama is, but I'd really hate to see how they are when they take office.

Unfortunately, the election of an African American President seems to have given the racists some perceived license to be open about it again. It started with the mcsame/palin(comparison) rallies, IMHO.
PEACE!
