I would have felt the same way if it was John McCain trying to control the American Citizen's. Just because I don’t believe in Obama’s government control leadership does not make me a racist.

The Clue is that individual who now has five names. Why it's Nobel Prize Winner Paul Krugman, a man so far to the left, he has his own latitude.

I have always heard the truth hurts, and if the shoe fits wear it, well obama is hearing the truth and must wear the shoe that it brings. His statement concerning Gates and the Cambridge police was very "racist" but you never heard the big media mention it. They are in his pocket as they are the ones that got this thing elected. I have never wanted to critize the "President" the "President" before, but will now as I think he is wrong, just as pelosi and the dems are wrong in what they are doing.I will never vote democratic again.

I am living inside Iran but I pursue the events of presidency of America because I think every decision by the prsident of U.S.A. will affect on my country certainly. I think Mr. Obama is the most socialist president in the history of America and this matter make me worried, because this is simply against the high principles of the America as I know. I can't understand why the president want to depending the insurance industry to the government. You remeber when the George W. Bush's administration made the decision to increase the governmental control in some areas in the short run just for protecting the country and its values from terrorism, this very Democrat party tried to interpret it as the effort to limit the individual freedom of the American citizens. Now that it has came to the power both in the White House and in Congress it is doing in such way as if every decision it make will be right and all the american people must accept it. In the end I just want to say one thing; here is the United States of America, not European Union. Before anything I do apologize for my poor english language.

That seems more racist than the blatantly insane accusations of the left.It wasn't necessary but it happened and is it reason to exult? Not really. It could have happened a few years ago with Powell but those same leftists wouldn't have it. He wasn't black enough.Just like we could have already had a supreme court judge of latin origin - from Honduras in fact - except again, the leftists wouldn't have it as they played the other side of their racist card.Socialism is blind - it doesn't matter what race those imposing it are, or whom they are imposing it on - it is a failed ideology and that is proving to be true here and Americans of all races and political beliefs are speaking out against it. “It was a necessary step for a black person to be elected president, one in which all Americans can exult.”

Once someone says, "Oh, I am not a racist," they have hooked them. It is a very low tactic, one that, I think, will be used so much that it will eventually simply have no effect, as it should not.

Obama and his executive staff plus the Congressional leaders and many Democrat members of Congress have shown that they are either socialist or just plain stupid.
