Reply #103: I'd say that some have a problem with cultural understanding.

Mr. Obama has a different way of doing things. Some folks have balked at this style, even saying he "didn't do anything". The problem here is that some of the comments are viewed with a cultural lens that dismisses behaviors foreign to the "status quo" of the dominant culture.

Although there is a strict protocol and tradition that goes along with the POTUS, the wider culture has to realize that Mr. Obama is going to lead in his own manner and not the way that white privilege views leadership roles.

And no, these hostile behaviors don't just come from the right; they come from the left with the same amount of vehemence too.
