It is an autrocity because of the former anti-war supporters suddenly changing their negative viewpoints on the war. I feel that the idea of a candidate who was elected to support minorities was in this country and world’s best interest. Although, we cannot deny that Barack Obama has outdone George W. Bush with his new Middle East strategy. He picked up where Bush left off with his anti-terrorism propaganda and ran even further with it.<br /> As a citizen who helped elect him, I am outraged at his strategies that contradict much of what he proposed that he would suggest and support in office. I feel that many Obama supporters still feel they need to give him a chance. That we have. We gave him our vote, support, and hope, yet we cannot deny that he is not representing most of the people who voted for him.<br /> I believe the idea of the first African-American presidient being introduced was excited for all of us. We were ready for change, but we meant change for the better. Some of us thought that electing a minority might help us tackle discrimintory hurdles, and now that this hope has been proven false hope, we do not need to continue to stand behind Barack Obama just because he is a member of a prominent minority group in the United States.<br /> I do not mea this to be hurtful or racist whatsoever, but I feel Obama using his race as a stepping stone helped him get a swing vote from the African-American community. Not only did this group help give him a swing vote, so did other communities including women, young voters, the LGBT community, and other minority races.<br /> If people could just open their eyes, turn on FreeSpeechtv, see and hear what is really going on in our country and overseas, they would not support Obama any longer. Instead, people (especially where I live in southeast Georgia) tend to watch Fox News programs which shield them from the truth about our involvement in genocide.<br /> Until the American people break free from these large media corporations that are brain-washing them into having political stances based on fiction created to protect the government, we will never break free from our oppression that targets our minority groups, which still exists even after Obama took office.<br /> Thank you for helping me to express my feelings about the corruption and dishonesty of Barack Obama that I have felt building up since he chose to send more troops overseas, instead of bringing them back home. Please continue to speak on topics of this nature because the more it is talked about, the more citizens will allow themselves to conceive of the notion that objecting to Obama’s presidency is not about being prejudiced. Refusing not to support him should only come as a result of his continuance to subject American people (and country’s citizens) to financial harm, but most importantly physical harm.</p> I agree with the autrocity of this topic 100%.
