The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

I honestly do believe that a lot of these protests against Obama's health care plans have more to do with hate of Obama the black president than the health care issue itself. I don't see a lot of people of color at these marches. In the vast majority of the footage that I have seen on CNN, MSNBC, Fox "News" the protesters are white. I think people need to get over it, he's president, let it go.
It's like the people who hide behind their religion to discriminate against gay marriage. They don't give a sh!t about marriage, they hate gay people. You can say it's one thing and mean another.

And I bet a lot of those same white people voted for him to begin with!

He wasn't elected by a slim margin.
