LOL
It was oh so chic to vote for him. Our own black president! How modern! What a refutation of all things Imperial American! I’m FREE of White Guilt!
Now they know their wine, cheese and hash party fantasy was a bust. The Hollywood candidate, The One, THEIR One, has sold them out and now the more cogent among them are running for the exits.

Monday, he called on Democratic activists to “reconnect” to “the young people, African-Americans, Latinos and women, who powered our victory in 2008, [to] stand together once again.”

He left out his "Big Three"...the dead, the illegal and the non-existent

Shouldn’t this read as follows?
...is a potentially sizable political problem for the nation’s first African president.

And, as the MSM tells us, whites are all racists.

He doesn’t need those votes, anyway, right?

They thought they were buying racial atonement with their vote.

They got ripped off, and are figuring it out now,
even if they can’t bring themselves to criticize him openly,
out of pride and avoidance of shame.

Oh, I know people even now that say

that racism, racial quotas, civil rights grievances, affirmative action, set-asides, etc

should all be a thing of the past now that we’ve elected a black president.

They don’t seem to realize that the whole goal was not only keeping those things alive, but also to implement racial revenge.

Lately, when I asked people what they think of Obama, they don't mention his liberal agenda or his incompetency as president.

They say...

HE'S A RACIST!!!

Obama is a racist and white people know it. He doesn’t even bother to hide his hate and resentment.

He is a chop off the old “reverend jeremiah wright”.

I know several who let the white guilt trip sway their vote. I’d like to ask them now if assuaging a guilt they didn’t own was worth the spiral into socialism this country is now spinning.

All they saw WAS his color while they listened to his flowery speeches.

They voted for him because he’s black and as most Americans are good people, they truly believed it was time for a black person in the white House...he’s a con man and they were conned-BIG TIME.

Not to mention he was never really specific about what he was going to “fundamentally change” about America; unfortunately, most people believe what they are told and don’t look past the surface.

If they had bothered to check Obama’s pockets, they would have found a LOT more than “change”.

For the pretentious blowhards out there, that is pronounced “Lah-TEEN-oze”.

Everyone else is so stupid that they don’t even know how to say it.

Actually Obama has barely begun his radical agenda. He hasn’t even started his cap and tax torture. And when congress passes legislation to allow the feds to come into your house and check to see that you’ve obeyed all the latest decrees concerning “green” energy, then the fecal matter will really hit the fan.
