I sure hope we're over it, but Bambi is still getting a pass. How he even registers 42% approval is incomprehensible.

He’s half white and I don’t like either half.

The novelty of the first black president being over will cost Obamarx 3-45 in every demographic group except for the black community who would vote for him if he murdered Steve Harvey on live TV.

There was an NPR article yesterday about how the phrase “that’s racist!” is becoming more and more of a punchline.

They didn’t get it completely, though. They still don’t understand that their main technique used to silence opposition is crumbling before their eyes.

I don't think the far left fringe will argue that we need a woman as a way to get Hillary in there next. No chance at all:

I don’t care if the next president is blue or purple, if he can move America back to it’s founding principles, he/she will get my vote.

I was never in to the “Black thing” to begin with, I am 68 and have witnessed the “black thing” in American cities ,in the Congressional Black Caucus in Congress,in the NAACP, in Jeremiah Wrights Church,in the riots of 1968,, in working at jobs that do affirmative action hires,and in many African countries, and have yet to see anything I like about it.

God bless Lloyd Marcus. We need more men like him to be ambassadors to the black community.

Why do people continue to omit the ‘Link’ url?
If you will notice .. where it says “excerpt” .. read more at ...

That is where the link should have been!

I think Herman Cain has the moral strength to be capable of taking the “black thing” by the horns and setting it straight. I can see him asking America as a whole whether it wants to keep picking cotton under slave conditions on the Democrat plantation, or wants to be free. And it would make lots of sense. And liberals’ heads would explode like Civil War cannons.

[newzjunkey]

I hope he will be judged on the merits of his record and not on an affirmative action basis.

If he were John McCain or Joe Biden? He'd be toast.

President Obama has pushed race relations back 50 years.

[jakerobins]

The Left will never get over “the Black Thing” the race card is too valuable! But even according to them Obama was suppossed to be Post Racial and move the Country beyond all this...So I guess we are! No Need to Re-Elect!

[hecht]

As long as conservatives call this biracial with no slave blood “black” we cede them the use of the race card.
His only connection to black America is his families slave owning past.

I forgot who said it first, but it’s worth repeating:

“The independents voted Barak into office in 2008 to prove they weren’t racist. They will vote him out of office in 2012 to prove they aren’t stupid.”

I was talking to a friend the other night about politics and, more specifically, Obama. My friend lives in Chicago, although he is not a native. I would place him in the moderate spectrum, although he may be a little more Left than I had originally thought. Although he has never said so, I'm pretty sure he voted for Obama in '08. Anyway, Obama came up in the conversation, and I of course began trashing him - what genuine American wouldn't? The evidence speaks for itself, really. But my friend wouldn't hear it, stating that Obama needed some time to adapt to the office and that he is now finding his stride. I tried my best to convince him that Obama was an empty suit, but he wouldn't hear it. And my other friend that was there, although I'm sure he didn't vote for Obama, even he wouldn't go as far as to see him as the America-hater that we at FR know him to be. And both of these guys are two of the smarter people that I know.

Based on this, I would say that Obama has at least a decent chance of being re-elected. There is simply more white guilt out there than we realize, I think. That would be the only reason I can come up with for why his poll numbers remain above water - it clearly isn't based on his performance.
