Is the political unrest in this country - which is a mild way of stating it -
Edited on Fri Sep-25-09 10:55 PM by Bobbieo
due to the fact that Obama – a Black man - was elected President of the United States or would this situation have come about no matter who won the ‘08 election as long as it was a Democrat?

I am honestly not trying to start a race war here but, I am a lifelong Democrat and for the first time in my 86 years I fear for my country. If I had it to do all over again I would still vote for Obama and if you want to attack me please do it because I shop at Wal-Mart.

2. I think it would have happened with any Dem,
but Obama being black just exacerbated it.

I really think the radical right thought they had a permanent majority and didn't have to worry about losing. When they did, they had a complete meltdown.
