Obama hated for being black

I am sick to death of politics. We elected President Barack Obama, yet we have not allowed him to do his job. Everything he does is scrutinized! When I was growing up we were taught respect for the office. Maybe we did not like the person who was elected, but we didn't bash him every day; we still respected his title.

I really feel that our world is so full of bigots that we cannot get past the fact that Obama is black. This man is doing the best he can with what he has. He has very little support in Washington or the rest of the country. I feel badly about this. I think we should band together as a people and try and find solutions instead of putting the blame on one person.
