Let me ask you this, Obama supporters. Why do you support him. What is different between him and Bush? Big government, big spending, continuing war, bowing to corporations, empty promises, etc.....

Man, you totally missed the point.
My comment was directed to those who cry racism to any criticism of Obama. Not war protesters, not those critical of the government.

pretty smart planning by TPTB to put a black man in office so you cant say anything bad about his policies without being racist huh.
the only thing better would be a holocaust survivor as president.

Yeah, I protested the same crap during the Bush years. Back then I was a "left wing nut", "un-American", and a "terrorist sympathizer".
Now, I protest the exact same crap, because Obama is just a younger version of G.W. Bush. But instead of the above, I am now called a "right wing militant", a "a radical religious nutcase", and an "angry white racist".
It's all very interesting to see the whole country go through a role reversal. But it's sad at the same time.....................
I'm not left wing, I'm not right wing, I am definitely an American, I do not sympathize with terrorists, I am not militant, I have never been to church in my entire life, and I don't give a crap about race.........................
Unless of course...... I speak out against the injustices of the current Regime, then I am all of those things.....at the same time, and everyone will be afraid of speaking out, because they don't want to be a "right wing militant", a "a radical religious nutcase", an "angry white racist", a "left wing nut", "un-American", and a "terrorist sympathizer".
Funny thing is... people that used to speak out with me, now speak out in favor of the things they used to protest. Odd indeed........

I think one reason why it seems that everyone is starting to voice their dissatisfaction now is that when Bush was in office he did a good job at keeping his underhandedness secret. Now, I'm not saying that we weren't catching on to him and some of his underhanded tactics, but this administration is so In-Your-Face about theirs.

It's also hilarious that the people who supported Bush wnen he gave away trillions attack Obama for doing the same thing exactly. That might be racism or it might be just partisan politics. It's hard to tell.
I do find it difficult to comprehend the mindset of people who were perfectly happy under Bush suddenly getting hysterical about Obama. There may be a few people waking up to the shell game, but I think a lot of people in that particular group are motivated by racism or partisan politics or both. If you weren't deeply unhappy with what Bush was doing, turning round now and criticising Obama for the same things is pretty hypocritical.
