I am white. I did not vote for Obama. I have always thought it was not right that he was not forced to prove his right to be President. He grew up in Indonesia, which does not recognize dual citizenship. He went to college in the USA, as Barry a foreign student scholarship from Indonesia. How much more proof does the world need???? Pastor, except for calling me a Racist, I back up most of what you said. I do not(For the Record) consider myself superior because I am Caucasian. In other words, I do not consider myself Racist at all.

Why anyone would be surprise that Obama has done nothing for Black people really surprises me, that he hasn't doesn't. 

I am Black and I didn't vote for him, b/c as I told my son, anything and everything that could possibly go wrong e.g. Boehner, will under his administration, he and we collectively will be to blame for "destroying America"  (a scapegoat is needed) playing into more racial stereotypes, and Secondly he don't want to make the good white folks that voted for him mad (he doesn't want to come across as an angry Black man, but I wonder how about an angry man period)
