(13,877 posts)The Left has "left" the identification of calling it pure racism and the Teabaggers have filled in the void. No president in history has faced the vitriol of the Right Wing/Southern Wing as has Obama. He was not my first choice based on his Resume, but in all my years in politics, I've never seen such disrespect.

There are several sins being committed in their eyes:
1. The President is a (D). This is impossible, because only (R) Presidents are legitimate and have the country's best interests at heart.
2. He's non-white. Self Explanatory.
3. He offered a friendly hand to them. Only weak people offer compromises. Strong people pick a direction and push everyone else out of the way.
