Has a White President ever been mocked based on his race before?
Is this a first for politics?

I am neither Democrat or Republican. I am an American and a Catholic.
What we are presently seeing is the extreme right wing wackos coming out of the woodwork showing their anger, frustration and racial bias.....because their party lost the Presidency.
I find it amazing that so many Republicans made the comment that "Like it or leave it, Bush is the President now....so "get over it".... But they can't take their own advice or medicine.
Frankly....I think they are complete "dolts"....and they are too stupid to realize that they are alienating even more people with their pedantic and boorish nonsense. If they continue it long enough....they will surely guarantee Obama's reelection at the end of his first four years.

WOW!
A sitting American Senator now questions President Obama's citizenship (again!).
Haven't they gotten the memo?
Haven't they seen the Swearing In?
Why do these RWE's continue to try to put down our President? www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=89704"Well, his father was Kenyan and they said he was born in Hawaii, but I haven't seen any birth certificate," Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., told constituents in Cullman County. "You have to be born in America to be president."  Know what's funny about that?
That President Obama "was" born in America...you know which Presidental losing candidate "wasn't" born in America?
Senator John McCain...where was Sen. Richard Shelby's "concern" back then?

If they continue it long enough....they will surely guarantee Obama's reelection at the end of his first four years. I agree 110%. They've always been the party of hypocrasy (calling themselves the "family values" party while they led a charge to impeach President Clinton for his sexual antics...meanwhile, the leaders of those attacks were who? Newt Gingrich who was cheating on his wife at the time he was working on taxpayer time to impeach The President.  And... Larry Craig...that homosexual who prowled men's public restrooms looking for sodomy with strangers and who was recently arrested for solicitation. Now, it's turned up that he used male prostitutes too... ...and "this" was The Republican's Party's leader on the "family values" issue.  But wait, who was President Bush's "Advisor" on matters of faith? Ted Haggard...another Homosexual who also turned out to be a drug addict and who also had sex with male prostitutes.  Of course, we can't forget that homosexual Pedophile, Mark Foley either, known for aggrassively harassing young males...  The Democrats might have moral issues, but at least most of them are heterosexual problems. And their honest about their homosexuality while Republicans stand on soap boxes condemning homosexuals while being led by homosexual perverts that Republican Citizens voted in. The Republicans don't seem to learn from 2 years ago. They didn't seem to learn this election. They continue to accelerate their divisive and exclusionary politics of separating all Americans from what they call "real Americans". Hmmm...what do you think they meant by "real" Americans? We need to come together...even if we disagree. Doesn't mean that we have to agree, but we need to learn how to "respectfully" disagree. Bill Clinton was great at handling the Republicans in the Congress and Senate. President Obama seems to be well on his way at alienating the Right Wing Extremists and silencing them. Supposedly, his approval ratings are up to 80% now. Amazing. All people want is "the truth". Obama is truthful with us. That's why little by little, he's gaining the confidence of Americans all over and why The Republicans are continuing to lose political market share. If Obama fails, mark my words, a "3rd" Party will be born next election of conservative Republicans and Democrats leaving out the Extremists and Nutjuobs from either the Republican or Democratic Parties. |

John mccain was born on an army base, therefore he was considered born in the us. Stop trying to make it look otherwise. |

John mccain was born on an army base, therefore he was considered born in the us. Stop trying to make it look otherwise. Actually, a military base is "not" American soil. And, he was born in a Panamanian hospital (not American soil and "not" an American hospital). John McCain is "not" a "natural born citizen" (as President Obama is having been born "on" American soil, "in" an American hospital, "in" an American state). John McCain was "not" born in America. He was born "in" Panama. He's a citizen because of his parents residency, but that's it. His campaign lied about him being born in a "Naval" hospital. He was born in a Panamanian Hospital. There was no Naval hospital in Panama "before" 1941. When his campaign was questioned about it, they refused to respond to the proofs forwarded to them. President Barack Hussein Obama is a true-blue born & bred American! A real "good ol' boy"! John McCain is a Panamanian born "citizen" of the United States, a "foreign born" American. He "came" to America... ...but President Obama was... |

US Navy documentation has surfaced that refutes John McCains supposition that he was born in a US Military Hospital on the Coco Solo Military Base in the US administered Panama Canal Zone in 1936. Documents show that No Hospitals existed in the Canal Zone prior to 1941! Building the Navy's Bases in World War II History of the Bureau of Yards and Docks and the Civil Engineer Corps 1940-1946 Volume II UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON 1947 Chapter 18 -- Bases in South America and the Caribbean Area, Including Bermuda Page 15 -- "By the end of 1940, work had begun on a new supply depot at Balboa, and on the Farfan Radio Station on the west bank, together with the enlargement of the two inland radio stations at Gatun and Summit. Two net depots were started in December, one at each end of the Canal, and during the same month a third contract was awarded for 1,400 housing units, 1,100 at Coco Solo and the remainder on the west bank at Balboa. The following summer two naval hospitals, one at Coco Solo and the other at Balboa, were begun." Page 20 -- "Hospitals "To care for the large increases in personnel which accompanied the expansion of the naval establishment, a new 200-bed naval hospital was built on a 40-acre tract of high land, on the north side of the new Trans-Isthmian Highway, about 3 miles from the Coco Solo air station. This facility consisted of a four-story structure, with additional buildings for quarters, laundry, garage, and sewage plant, all of reinforced concrete. It was commissioned in September 1942, and later enlarged by the addition of two temporary wards of frame construction, to provide 500 beds." (emphasis added) Therefore it has now been shown that John McCain was NOT born in the Panama Canal Zone at all, NOR was he born on a US military base or in a US hospital. Therefore there is no way John McCain can claim birth on US soil and therefore he cannot claim natural birth in the US. He was therefore born abroad on Panamanian soil and does not meet constitutional requirements of eligibility to hold the Office of President of the United States. newsbusters.org/forums/latest-news/q-panamanian-born-john-mccain-natural-born-citizen-united-states-19392 |

Legally, he is "not" a "natural born citizen". He is a citizen by blood relation to his parents who were citizens. I never denied that he was able to become President, I just am pointing out that the Senator who is trying (again) to raise doubt about our President's citizenship status, never raised an issue about John McCain's Panamanian birth. This Senator said that someone is supposed to be "born" IN America. Panama might be Central or South America, but it ain't "America". John McCain was "not" born in The USA! But, President Obama was... Not you CC! The Protestant Hispanics who put Bush in office! ;D I take offense to that comment and think you are getting a lil bit to presumtuous! You know what they say about "assuming", right? LOL! Who's throwing in race? What are you talking about? And how can I be racist against good ol white folk? I'm white! LOL! I'm just against racist white folk (and racist black folk, and racist Hispanic folk, etc...). Why are "you" bringing up race? I didn't. |

And your not "white" you are puerto rican right, or mexican or spanish...your not white like me haha Uh..yeah..I'm white. My great grandparents came straight off the boat from Europe (Spain). There is no Hispanic "race". There is no Puerto Rican or Mexican or Spanish "race". We are collectively a "culture" of many different races. Cultures aren't races CC. And, how does mentioning the particular "group" that gave George Bush the election in 2004 racist? They just happened to be the group that did it. It didn't have anything to do with their race...it was their voting block and that is the identifier of that particular block. How is this racist against what you call the "good ol white folk" (as if only whites can be "good" that they need to be identified separately from the rest of the races)? |

Im not saying good ol white folk as being racist. Im saying im tired of hearing what color/ethnicity voted which way or whatever. It always is an issue with you. The picture i saw of you, you could not check caucasion on a college application. They ask if you are caucasion, african american, asian, HISPANIC, ect... so no im not being racist by saying hispanic, it is a group of people. I hope i explained myself correctly, its hard to type sometimes my thoughts. lol In the United States of America, collectives of related ethnic groups are typically denoted as "ethnic." Most prominently in the U.S., the various Latin American racial and ancestral groups are typically grouped as either "Hispanics" or "Latinos". The many previously designated 'Oriental' ethnic groups are designated as Asian ethnic groups and similarly linked together as "Asians." The terms "Black" and "African American," while different, usually describe people whose ancestors were indigenous to sub-Saharan Africa, and exclude descendants of European colonists in Africa. The term White generally describes people whose ancestry can be traced to Europe (including other European-settled countries such as Argentina, Australia, and Canada, where people of European ethnic backgrounds form the bulk of the populations) who now live in the United States. "Middle Easterners" are peoples from the Middle East, i.e. Southwest Asia and North Africa. These countries include the Arab Nations, Turkey and Iran. (The U.S. Census Bureau compiled a list of ethnic groups which may be seen at Ethnicity (United States Census)). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_group#Ethnicity_and_race |
