Reply #17: Well, Clinton was white and was hated even more than Obama was. [View All]

[Sarah Ibarruri]

I consider Clinton to be a right wing Democrat, by the way. However, that didn't stop the Republicans from hating him and trying to destroy him every second of every day.

I saw far more hatred for Clinton than for Obama, and I don't know which gave in more to the Republicans. I'm beginning to think Obama. I don't know.

Perhaps I didn't 'read' Obama well enough. Perhaps I didn't realize he was right wing himself.

At the beginning of his presidency, I thought the Republicans would eat him alive with racial epithets because he's black, but that soon disappeared the moment Obama began giving in to everything the Republicans asked for.

I want a president that is strong, not weak, refuses to give in, maybe not all the time, but at least SOME of the time. I want a president that doesn't get energetic when it comes to campaign time only.

I don't really know what I'm going to do. I got a call from his campaign to donate money. I donated money in his first campaign, more than I could afford to, and worked tirelessly for his campaign.

This time around? It's not only that I don't have as much money. It's that I don't WANT to donate, and I don't FEEL LIKE giving my time to his campaign.

I'm demoralized by his unnecessary and constant friendliness to Republicans, and his constant giving in to them without nary a peep.
