Reply #68: What you say about him being biracial is true, but don't be naive. This society sees and treats

him as a black man. And as long as that is the case, I do see a subtle racism that exists where this man cannot make it based on his own merit; he needs white people to help him along. It is insulting. And yes, it is racist, whether implicit or explicit. I've dealt with that mindset all of my life. Blacks who are smart and successful have to prove themselves over and over again; their intelligence is always questioned.

President Obama IS the boss! He IS in charge. We need to accept it and help him along in his presidency.

Hillary is the Secretary of State. She is doing a fantastic job and I am very proud of her. But she is a subordinate in the cabinet. There have been numerous threads implying or explicitly stating that she is his equal. She is not. He appointed her to be his SoS. Let's not rewrite the Constitution because a black man is in charge. No one would ever suggest that Condi Rice or Colin Powell were equal to George W. Bush. That notion would be ridiculous!
