i know. i know. i hear it all the time. Obama "never fulfilled his promises he made in his campaign". i know people think he did alot of things that he said he would not do. people also don't like his foreign policy and claim that he is no better that bush. with all that being said, what president (or politician, for that matter) isn't guilty of the same thing. i have heard the same thing about previous presidents. why is Obama getting the worse wrap? is it because he is not white? this i believe is the case with many americans (no matter what the color of their skin). i think people are just not ready to deal with face other than white male in the white house. it's like, okay, we tried it. minorities had their moment, now it's over. time for the old white male that we are all use to. come on. at least one person be honest and not hide behind all of what Obama "did and did not do" different to any other president. admit that you don't feel comfortable with Obama as president (even after 4 years) because he is of color.

I really don't believe the color of his skin had anything to do with the election. I felt comfortable with Obama as president. He is of mixed parents but that didn't persuade me to vote for or against him. He's a very bright man which is why he got my vote. I am not a minority and not of color.

I think that anybody that thinks Obama is getting the worst wrap because of the color of skin didn't watch the election when he came into office. Then they went on the witch hunt to find his birth certificate, etc. I really do not think that Obama's problems now has ANYTHING to do with the color of his skin.

Yes, although you will have a lot of white people try to tell you that race has nothing to do with any of this, we all know that it really does, i.e why do you think they chose someone like Romney to run against Obama.
I honestly don't think America is ready for a black president, so far Obama is way better than Romney but I also think Obama is a puppet being controlled.
Romney doesn't have any good plans fo this country, if I had a choice I would choose Ron Paul over Obama.
But when you put Obama and Mitt Romney, there really isn't any difference between the two.

Wow Moon! I don't feel that way at all. I'm not a huge Obama fan but then again I'm really not a fan of any polititian. I don't blame any president entirely for the messes that our country faces. It's never JUST the president. I will say that I really don't like Romney at all. What I would love to see and I know it will never ever happen is for an ordinary, average person get in there. You know, one that struggles like you and I and knows what it is really like. And even if that were to happen, unless the rest of the team was made up of average, ordinary citizens, then our average, ordary president would be unlikely to accomplish much. So nope..it's not the color of his skin and it's not even that he is democrat because I've voted both depending on whose running.

It may be just that. He is "different" and people think that he has had his time in the limelight.
I do not think that will ever change and he will always be remembered as the one president who was "different".
I hate politics. I dont hate people. He is just another person who likes to play politics. If they didnt play politics, then I might have a little more respect for the government. I have no respect for politics, and for those who practice it, it makes me hate the government more...

Mostly his promises hasn't been fulfilled since the Senators just wouldn't pass his plans. Mostly all went unpassed since Senators are more made of Republicans than Democrats. As for being Obama being blamed as being worst than Bush is just outrageous. I think anyone who became President were black or white are going to get called the worst President when America feels they aren't getting things that they want. I just love how you see Obama getting blamed on the debt, when in fact it was Bush that caused this debt. Any President after Bush aren't able to stop the debt from growing in a 4 year period. We are in a depression and depressions doesn't get fixed over night. Of course I think that politics are turning into a racists game and a lot of people don't want to see a black President anymore.
