I don't think there is a more brilliant or hard working man or woman in all of Washington DC as Barack Obama. All of these attacks are shameful, especially from Coburn, who used to work closely with Obama. His comments must hurt the president deeply.

@EzKool Obv the attacks against him from the right are 99% result of racism. NOT all attacks are racist, however. I'm disappointed by his conservative-Clinton approach–see the fate of public option. That Obama did not push for true health care reform, but went for a conservative, Heritage Foundation non-solution is a huge issue. He got his non-solution, and the problem is that listening to those ranked against him, you'd think he'd actually got a single payer system passed. He did not. What he passed was an ineffective mess that would be considered laughably inadequate in every other developed nation but ours. Yes, he might have lost had he pushed for public option, but by pushing for it, he would have made clear that he truly had a different vision. He did not, and that has nothing to do w/the racist nation he was elected to lead. That has to do w/Obama, and his Clintonian, center-right policies. The fact is that even if Obama had complete accord, he would still not have done very much to undo the decline…and the decline is the problem. Black, white, straight, gay, female, male–a president with principles would be in a better position today.

In reply to Andrian Hopkins. Thanks Andrian. And yes, the world is watching. But these Republicans don't care about the world, they don't even care about other Americans think. They have an agenda, and that's to make sure this president fails.

Are you surprised? Let's be honest here, some democrats are just as guilty. I started writing a clever comment and after the first sentence I thought, Why? Our parents know or knew the field is not level. Your father was preparing you for this. I am not suprised. Frankly, I am happy to see all of these people expose themslves for who they realy are. The world is watching. And if God is watching, He can not be pleased. The gates of hell are well oiled and ready to recieve. And if any of the stories I heared in my youth are true, Their hell will be overseen by a very large and hatefull black man.

A true shame for the American people. We are all the losers here and moreover, it's a damn shame we put up with it.

In reply to Bridgit Roeth. Unfortunately, too many are not disgusted about what is happening....and that's what is so scary about it all.

It is true and sad that Obama has had to endure what I deem to be unreasonable obstacles and attacks. The fact that he can be called a "tar baby" in this day in age is appalling to me. I'm not sure what's going on with today's politics, but it's a sad state of affairs. People aren't looking out for their fellow man. They are more concerned with which party is 'right'. Obama is trying to help the American citizen and too many are doing their best to ensure it doesn't happen.

Sadly this is so true! But hopefully the majority of reasonable Americans see what is happening and are completely disgusted by it! I know I am!

In reply to Eric Hempler. I think any black Democratic president would go through the same trials this president is facing. If it was a Republican black president however (and I know there are no such thing as a black republican, there's black wanna-be's, but that's it), the Democrats in congress would not create the kind of obstacles these Republicans are creating.

In reply to Jack Boardman. Yea, these LWNJ's don't get the fact that although they may want to see the President do well, their constant knocking on him is turning off other Democratic voters.

To be honest I just assumed it was Republicans not wanting to let any Democrats have their way since I figured it would be the same the other way around. From this post I'm wondering if ANY black president would have the same hurdles as Obama appears to have? It's definitely obvious progress is not being allowed.

Add to that, the LWNJ's continuing attacks on this president…#JustSayin'.
