Nobody said that the rich white men were blaming Obama because he was black, just that rich white men were blaming the black man for everything. They call him a communist, which he clearly is nothing like, a socialist and there again he's nothing like a socialist, a Kenyan because his parents flew thru time to set up his fictional birth event, an insider and an outsider. When you scrape away the nonsense we are left with two reasons he is being blamed for things which were set in place by people like "Dick" Cheney, George Bush and Condi Rice: he isn't Cheney, and he calls himself a Democrat. He also happens to be black and that is making things much harder to deal with.

The rest of your whine is rather pathetic. Tell ya what, make a list of all the world leaders who are black, the black British King, the black Russian dictator, the Saudi king...and the American President. Hmmmm. Seems we are an advanced nation. But in my universe a millionaire lawyer from Chicago still has to be careful about walking the streets at night in certain neighborhoods, certain cities, not because of the money and power, but because the local cops will stop and search any black man on the street, possibly arrest on trumped up charges, tased or beaten to death...because America is still a racist society. It's great that you feel you have grown beyond that, so let's find truths about Obama to object to instead of BS like "he's a secret Kenyan communist time traveler out to destroy our nation!"

We've already seen the tee shirt slogans and the bumper stickers and you must have, too: "Get that black man out of our White House!" and there are a few others, less clever. There is a vast underlayer of racism in a nation which had slavery until a relatively short while ago and if we look at some worker classes we still have a fair amount of it. Maybe you're color blind and that is GREAT! Congratulations! The problem is a large number of powerful white businessmen are not as enlightened as you are and many of them have records of opposing equal rights for minorities. Thus by their actions and speech we can identify them as racist. They also hold most of the real wealth in the country and are hanging on to every penny they can, even if it collapses our economy...because they are part of a global capitalistic band of hearty billionaires and one nation is not going to break them. They can just move their money, like Romney is doing, into offshore tax shelters and real estate deals in former Soviet Union nations.

It's obvious that by acting pretty much exactly like Cheney in foreign policy and like Bush in national security Obama is nothing like any black man every seen in Democratic circles. He's also nothing like any Democrat seen. He walks like a Republican candidate, is rich like a Republican businessman, wages war on women and children like a Republican President, and yet he is still accused of being a liberal Democrat, even a socialist or Communist...but clearly he is nothing like that. So we are left with an observation that the rich white men of industry and finance have a hatred and distrust for Obama which only makes sense at a gut level, a basic, instinctive dislike for those who look different from us, as in skin color. Lizard level thinking.

Thank you for the link Chet. I firmly believe that our current woes are a sign that total systematic change must happen if we are to avoid becoming part of the fossil record.

If you look into: www.johnperkins.org : you will see a video: "Confessioins of an Economic Hit Man" that shows how our Corporate Entities have taken over the Economies of 47 or the World's 100 poorest countries. They then use these countries to take massive loans from the World Bank and the IMF, and hire these American Corporate entities, (Haliburten) to develope the parts of the economy that benefit themselves, not the poor. In addition this policy leaves these countries in massive debt and the Corporate Entities can then obtain very low prices for oil they harvest and high prices for weapons they market. These countries can also be enslaved to support the Corporate Entities needs and the political needs of the USA.

AT PRESENT, we have reched that POINT when the Corporate Entities are moving to take over the American Government. The Oil and Weapons Corporate Entities can then force America to attack Iran in order to DOUBLE THE PRICE OF OIL AND GAS, and to SELL ALL THE WEAPONS LEFT WITH THE WEAPONS INDUSTRY.

The massive INCREASE IN OIL PRICE (SAY 100%) will ruin the world economies because TRANSPORT COSTS WILL DESTROY ALL THE PROFITS THE PRODUCERS USED TO RECEIVE. This condition will then create a MASSIVE WORLD DEPRESSION, LEADING TO THE THIRD WORLD WAR. We have lived through two of these kind of WORLD WARS and don't want our children killed in the THIRD ONE.

VOTE FOR OBOMA to prevent this CORPORATE TAKEOVER OF AMERICA!!!
