This piece by EJ Dionne points out the fact that Republican’s have sought to demonize their nation’s 44th President from day one….
E.J. Dionne: “They say that President Obama is a Muslim, but if he isn’t, he’s a secularist who is waging war on religion. On some days he’s a Nazi, but on most others he’s merely a socialist. His especially creative opponents see him as having a ‘Kenyan anti-colonial worldview,’ while the less adventurous say that he’s an elitist who spent too much time in Cambridge, Hyde Park and other excessively academic precincts.”
“Whatever our president is, he is never allowed to be a garden-variety American who plays basketball and golf, has a remarkably old-fashioned family life and, in the manner we regularly recommend to our kids, got ahead by getting a good education.”
“Please forgive this outburst. It’s simply astonishing that a man in his fourth year as our president continues to be the object of the most extraordinary paranoid fantasies. A significant part of his opposition still cannot accept that Obama is a rather moderate politician quite conventional in his tastes and his interests. And now that the economy is improving, short-circuiting easy criticisms, Obama’s adversaries are reheating all the old tropes and cliches and slanders.”

Hate
Pure unadulterated hate
That is what has animated the Republicans from day one as regards Obama
Same with the so called “Tea Party” bigots
This presidential campaign has shown how phony all their so called “concerns” about “issues” are
There’s only ONE thing that gets them going
GET THAT BLACK GUY OUT OF “OUR”WHITE HOUSE!
