You've Got to be Carefully Taught.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You%27ve_Got_to_Be_Carefully_Taught
You've got to be taught.
To hate and fear,
You've got to be taught.
From year to year,
It's got to be drummed.
In your dear little ear.
You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be taught to be afraid.
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade,
You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be taught before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You've got to be carefully taught!

He is a good an Honorable President! You have no idea what he received in his briefing before taking on the role of President of the United States. None of us are aware of what he had to deal with and the things he promised because of National Security he may not have been able to do them. Majority of this country has disrespected this man, truly based on the color of his skin. Not by the content of the work he is trying to do with his hands tied. I wish him well as I have other Presidents and I have never disrespected any of my Commander In Chief!

Another white man ?....yes it is what it is..but if you can do better then run for the office...if not keep the hate to yourself.....soooo much HATE.

Nancy, try to remember the state of the country when Obama took office. Trump had nothing to clean up.

Obama is a good man and president. And he is an American. There is too much hate. Stop!!. Stop the hate and take action if you want things changed. Join an org that will help promote pro active changes. Start being pro active.

Here we go again! Thanks Joey, Debi, Rusty, Samuel, and Yolanda for your positive statements. We are better off than we were 6 years ago. I guess Teresa, Donna and others all had a secure job at good pay for the last 10 years, if so you are lucky. The jobless rate is very low, (because economy is better). stock market at an all time high (because the economy is better), get it right people, if you have to blame someone, aim at the Congress! Our president has, under the circumstances, done a great job and we should be thanking him.

Christopher John Goddard, I believe that you actually mean the "former guy" who has been categorized as one of the 5 worst ever presidents. He doesn't rank lower because the criteria used evaluates the longer term consequences of his administration.

No dummy, according to Obama he was born in Hawaii, he even supposedly produced a certificate of live birth from the Hawaiian hospital he was born in!

Nobody more incompetent,no, not even Jimmy Carter.

Yolanda J. Edwards, I have always had respect for the Office of the Presidency but I have never given any man, or woman, respect until they have earned it. President Obama failed to earn any respect from me it had nothing to do with the color of his skin, it had to do with his failed policies and his lack of transparency, despite his promise of such in his presidency. Of any presidential administration, in the history of our country, he came closer to bringing it to ruin. He brought a divide within this country that mimicked the civil right era of the 1960’s
