Why are some white Americans bothered by Obama's reelection?
We can see lots of news concerning races and colors. Why are some people still doing this?
I am white and I did not want Obama to win re-election because I feel he didn't accomplish things he set out to do in his first term. My objection to his re-election has nothing to do with his color. I feel it is high time we had a black president or a woman president for that matter. I'm all for it.
No, my objection has to do with his lack of leadership, not his race.
The media makes a lot more of the race issue than the "White Americans" do. It has been constantly brought up. The race card is something played frequently when any white person disagrees with a black person. Surely a white person can't ever disagree with a black person without it being a race issue right? It is beyond me. All (this includes many blacks, hispanics, and whites) of the people bothered by his reelection simply don't like or agree with him. That is their right. I don't like that he got reelected, I didn't vote for him, I don't agree with him on anything but social issues, but with that said it wouldn't matter if he was purple, I still wouldn't like his money management skills.
It is not a race issue for me and for others I know. People worry about his ability to handle our budget crisis and to handle the rift between parties. The health care plan will cost more money than originally planned. if he can handle these barriers. I will be happy and so will others. Congress also needs to get it's act together.
