9. Have you ever asked a WHITE president where he would be

if, say....FDR "hadn't stood up to the "establishment" and fought for what was right?"

Do you have the slightest idea how bigoted, and ironic, your last statement is? After all, it was MLK who dreamed of a country where people "will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

So because Obama is black you expect more from him? He owes us more because of the color of his skin?

It's sad, and very telling that even DUers see Obama only as a black man instead of as just a man!
