This is complete BS

Its obvious when you look at the facts. Obama spent 20 years listening to Wright's hate, which he obviously agreed with because he stayed there.

I agree that it is obvious that he sat in there and heard the racist speeches from Wright and did not leave. While he says he did not agree with them, they definitely did not upset him enough for him to get up and leave.

Then you have his friend Gates, who immediately throws the race card when he is obviously the only one in the wrong.

I disagree that Gates was the only one in the wrong. If someone charged into your house after a long trip, you would be irritated also. He just took the wrong tactic in answering, and the cop arrested him after knowing it was Gates' house just to cover his ass. That was improper also. This was simply a situation that spun out of control when it was well-intentioned in the beginning.

Then you have Sotomayor, who has said several times that a hispanic is better suited to make judicial decisions than a white male.

While there are questions regarding her, Obama did not know her personally, and is simply going with who his advisors recommend. I doubt he chose her because she is racist. That would be the most ignorant error, and he is not know to be blatantly ignorant.

Finally you have his wife. The same woman who was never proud to be an American until the oppertunity for power was before her.

That's not what was said. Her quote was removed from context and your statement twists it to a different meaning/connotation. Personally, I think her Harvard thesis shows her to have racist tendencies though.

Is Obama racist? Not blatantly. No more so than most of the members on this forum. I think that he has done a better job of avoiding racial tensions than some past presidents. That does not mean that I think he is doing a good job, or a bad one though.
