Bob Ross, (if that is your real name I must applaud your courage)

Why the need to initially respond with an attack on the substance of my comment?

Fear? Sure it is fear. George Washington, in his farewell address, told us to fear usurpation.

Was George wrong to consider such to be guarded against?

I know the fears of millions of Americans could’ve been laid to rest, and I know who has the ability to make that happen. Obama

I don’t dislike Obama. I never have. I think he was the breath of fresh air that this country needed.

Why is it that people think you must dislike him in order to find a need to question him?

Steadfast defense of the unknown is the way many deal with their fear of an outcome they would rather avoid.

I have seen it too many times.

For example, those who developed interstitial lung disease, after many years of smoking, are more likely to blame their exhaustion on getting older.

They don’t want the truth.

Seeking the truth is the only effective way to address a problem.

Many Obama defenders play the race card as if it were the wildward in their defense deck.

As an African-American, I find this disgraceful.

It only serves to delegitimize every valid complaint.

Obama, by failing to nip this thing in the bud, has damaged race relations in this country.

(yes yes yes!!! That’s what I said!)

What makes the cries of racism worse is that they are predominantly being made by white folks who have never been subjected to racism.

I grew up in the south. I’ve seen racism up close and personal.

Questioning Obama is not a matter of race.

Playing the race card to defend him against all questions is the very essence of racism.
