I think the picture indicates it. It doesn't take a large leap of logic to see that the person holding the sign is on the opposing side of Liberal Democrats, and most likely a member of the Tea Party (or at least an ally of it).

]As for the race card? No one gives a **** that he's black: he's just a bad President. His policies are bad; his policies are hurting the country; his policies are going to make the last 3 years look like a **** walk in the economic park.
Again, I disagree. I think the race card plays more into it than many would like to admit. As far as his policies, I think the above statement is going a bit far. Is he perfect? Of course not. I still think that he needs to slow down and drop the cyclopic approach he takes to his policy-making and work more with his opposition to come to a middle-ground. At least he is willing to shake things up, in a country where things need to be shaken up. I for one do not want to fall back into another Conservative strangle hold.

Do you know what happens when Greece's Austerity plan fails? Spain collapses, then Germany, then Austria, then the United Kingdom, then the United States tailspins into another long L-Shaped Recession. Except, we're still in a Depression; unemployment is still out of hand; and domestic manufacturing is all fabricated. The guy in the White House, since he wants to assume credit for EVERYTHING, is a **** moron. FDR was wrong. And the Left doesn't **** get it. Nothing's coming up roses and any defense of Obama after his Administration INTENTIONALLY suppressed information concerning the Healthcare Reform Act from legislators and the public is ABSOLUTELY inexcusable.
By FRD being wrong, I assume you are talking about Alphabet Soup and all of the Public Works policies he enacted? If so, I think some public works projects (if managed correctly) would be a good way to create jobs. I personally would love to see a Euro-inspired mass transit system introduced to the US. Construction alone would open up a ton of jobs, as would maintenance, staffing and engineering once completed.

Bush was a shitty President, but when it comes to outright LYING to the people: Iraq has nothing on the manipulation of information concerning the HCRA.
On this I will agree. While lying is par for the course in politics -- doing so to such a level is inexcusable. Hopefully, Obama's future actions will make up for this.

P.S. I seriously wish he was White, though, so people would stop saying: "It's just racism." No, no, it's not. Barack Obama is a policy **** that will leave the United States a festering 3rd world **** hole.
Again, I think that's going a bit too far. The US has endured previous presidents perceived as "bad," and it will continue to. I still think that a "country consisting of its people, with whom the real power rests" is an accurate descriptor of the US. The oligarchy many perceive as controlling our lives is delicate. If you push your people too far, the dam will burst and scary things will happen. But, again, I don't think we'll see this happen when Obama's term ends.
