The tattered race-card is once again deployed because Americans are criticizing their President and he happens to be black. This time it was waved around by Oprah Winfrey while in the UK shilling for her new film:
Oprah Winfrey has been a prominent supporter of Barack Obama. She thinks that both he and the Office of President have been treated with contempt because of the colour of his skin.
Theres a level of disrespect for the office that occurs. And that occurs in some cases and maybe even many cases because hes African American. Theres no question about that and its the kind of thing nobody ever says but everybodys thinking it.
Everybody got that? Everybody is thinking it.
No one could be basing their conclusion about him on the apparent fact that hes an incompetent who happens to be black. No one could be thinking that his political agenda defines him and they oppose it. No one could possibly be opposed to him because his actions have directly effected their lives in a negative way (see ObamaCare), could they?
No all everybody ever thinks about is how black he is and how badly they hate him for that (never mind the cognitive dissonance that must exist in order to ignore his election and re-election and reach this conclusion).
This is what normally happens when one personally invests in a politician and has to find a way to excuse their miserable failure. Winfrey put a lot of personal capital on the line for Obama and essentially understands hes failing but refuses to see the real reasons for why thats happening. Instead she turns to the old and dependable habit of crying race"

Darn, Is he black? Funny, I love Allan West, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Herman Cain. . . but why do I hate Obama? Is it his shade of black?
An extremely ignorant black woman becomes a billionaire and she thinks racism against blacks is still a major problem in America.
Then I guess white people hate her since she is black. Wonder how she amassed her millions
I wonder what percentage of her wealth has been accumulated from whites.
I hate the victim card no matter if it;s the homo card, the race card the muslim card what ever it is I hate it .
So when they hated Bush was it because he was white.
I’ve always likened him to the old newspaper reference... He’s black and white and red all over.
Missed that bandwagon three years ago...now its just laughable. Hate him because he’s black, hahahahaha!
Fact: I hate Obama (Me)
Reason: “Whatever” ( K. Sebelius)
Why? “What difference at this point does it make?” (H. Clinton)
No, Fatty, we hate him because he is a corrupt, lying enemy of America who should never have sullied the White House with his Communist ideology.
What was the excuse for all the disrespect that Bush got?
Nice way to divide Amerca, scumbag...
‘None of this would have happened if he was white.’
If Nobama were white, he would still be working the graveyard shift at Dunkin’ Donuts.
I don’t get it. Why can these folks understand that we are able to see past skin color in order to hate a person because he is a lying communist?
Oprah, your race card has been declined.
But many more hate him just because he’s a jerk!!! And a hater of our great country. And trying to ruin all our lives. Good start there, what next? But what he looks like? No, not even remotely, when there is so much more at stake. If someone’s trying to kill you, do you care what he looks like, or do you care about stopping him?
Opera, I detest Brocko because he’s a communist. I detest you, because you’re a racist.
IMO there is absolutely no question that a black president who was competent, pro-American, in his 5th year, and was showing positive results for the United States, would be popular with conservatives and Republicans; however, liberals and low-info voters might not like him. Then they would be the racists.
No, Oprah.
I hate Obama because he's ignorant, stupid and arrogant. A deadly combination which adversely affects every American citizen man woman and child, for perhaps decades.
