Here is why:
More ignorance. I guess we're not allowed to criticize the worst president in 4 generations because of the color of his skin? Give me a break.

Not a big fan of the guy... But do you really believe he is worse than the guy who came before him?More ignorance. I guess we're not allowed to criticize the worst president in 4 generations because of the color of his skin? Give me a break.

I wonder why his approval rating is >50% now...
He was far from a saint; the guy was brainless...Bush was no saint either, doesn't mean I think he was a great president.
It's going to be a trip once the Obamas are out of the WH and we see whether the kids go back to their real parents and how the years treat a drag queen. Oh yeah, I went there...

Some people who voted for Trump hate Obama because he's black. But it's not even close to the majority. It's because of what team he was on. Conservatives love the hell out of Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas, and Ben Carson....why...because they are on their team.
You must be really out of touch. Obama is hated ,mostly ,because of his skin color.
Wait, explain to me how Trump fits into this thread? Isn't the theme "why do people hate Obama."
But since you bring it up, I'm shocked that the libs across America aren't rejoicing over the November election because for at least the next 4 years, the country will be run by a left leaning president. Trump is the furthest thing from a conservative, and certainly not an ideologue. Conservatism, (yes Ben Carson et al) died in the primaries.
One of the many problems facing our current political landscape, including the very small minority of republicans that hate Obama because he is black, is the hypocritical narrow-mindedness from the left. It's amazing just how frequently people like you belittle the intelligence of the other side just as you did above based on some antiquated stereotype (in addition to the previous poster saying all opposition to Obama is based on race). You people have an extreme difficulty coming to grips with the idea that there are very reasonable arguments against the majority of the opinions you hold.
It has nothing to do with race. No Siree Bob. Not a blessed thing.
So, I'm calling it like it is. They hate them because they are black and they hate them more because they refuse to take the bait........
The OP question is somewhat leading though. It's not "why do people have a philosophical disagreement with President Obama". It's why do people hate Obama. So yeah, I think it is fair to say that many (most?) people who literally hate Obama have a racial reason for doing so.
Making stuff up about a group of people just because you disagree with them is classless.
Your whole argument is totally a strawman. Who is saying that ANY criticism of Obama makes someone racist? Has anyone in this thread made that argument?
Perhaps I am painting with too broad a brush. But will you at least admit that there are LOTS and LOTS of people who hate Obama because he is black?

YOU. It's not a strawman to use your own words against you. I quote
You should probably read the comments posted here again if you think that no one has made the comment that criticisms of Obama are not race related.
Huh? I said that many or most people that HATE him do so for race. I most certainly did not say that if someone criticizes him they are racist. Are you slow? Do you not understand the difference?
I have followed the whole thread. And I'm not insulting you because I jumped in at the end. I'm insulting you for putting words in my mouth.Context is everything and you certainly missed it. You also can't back up this garbage line of "many or most people hate him because of his race". Don't insult me because you jumped in at the tail end of the thread. Why don't you catch up with the rest of us before you call people slow?
Really. These are 4 people who are brave or stupid enough to post their racism on social media. The majority won't do that. The election was a whitelash4 people make racial comments and suddenly ANY criticism of Obama is racially motivated? Bull**** and you know it. If conservatives are racists then I guess liberals are monsters.

Obama is essentially a left-leaning centrist which is easily shown by comparing what he has done to what the far left actually wants. Some people just want to believe he is radically left to justify their uncontrolled hatred toward him which is obviously based in racism. They themselves refuse to believe so because of things like perhaps not minding black co-workers and the fact that they are not a part of the KKK or anything like that, but there is really no other explanation for such outlandish responses.
I personally think racism is a sort of mental illness. People have it in varying degrees. Some mild, some moderate, some extreme. They are swayed with how POC are portrayed on TV and media. They may say "well this person here is one of the good ones", but get upset if they think that too
Also, it's not just Caucasians vs African-Americans. Asians, Latinos, African-Americans, they can all be racist to some extent. Asians may feel that AAs get too many "entitlements" or Cubans may say "Sure all Mexicans should come across the border legally". It's this use of racism to divide people that leads to a Trump eeking out a win.
There are preset percentages of these people and as you can see from some of the response in this thread, the disease of racism doesn't limit itself to class, race, or level of education.
Clinton grouped them into her "basket of deplorables" along with misogynists and other bigots. They didn't vote for Trump because they really thought he was going to make things better. They are Ok with him just making things worse for the 'others'. You see in one post above that somebody is already excusing Trump for not being able to make anything better for anybody solely because horrific Obama somehow rigged it so it's impossible for him to fix it. Utterly ridiculous logic.
I'm not interested in what these people think anymore or trying to understand them. The only bit of advice I will give is that this kind of thinking is indeed outlandish and should best be kept to the anonymous on the internet. If you don't have the mental discipline to control your illness in real life, then don't be surprised at what may happen. People who can't control their racism are being publicly fired and I don't feel an ounce of sympathy for them.
that is true - but it has nothing to do with Obama- that was happening long before he was in officeIt's not the meds that are expensive, it's the emergency room bills. You ever go to the ER? It's thousands of dollars. These people use the ER as primary care on a regular basis. It's packed with Medicaid patients every weekend.
Why does Obama hate Israel? Is it because he is anti-sematic? Or is it because he is pro-Hamas?
Just following the logic that whoever disagrees or criticizes Obama is a racistObama doesn't hate Israel. Since when does telling Israel to stop building new settlements mean you hate Israel.
Obama doesn't hate Israel. Since when does telling Israel to stop building new settlements mean you hate Israel.
Because he is black.
...the left needs to realize that the childish namecalling and scapegoating of ordinary, working class white people isn't doing them any favors. What you want deep down is the right thing...nobody questions that. You're a bunch of ****ing hippies. We get it. But demonizing like 35% of the voters in the US because of the color of their skin is making you what you claim to hate so much. A bunch of prejudiced dinguses. You are right about the class war. Yes, that is happening. Yes, we live in a mild plutocracy. No, not all white people have power or deserve your hate. A populist, left winged candidate that focused on just the working class should have easily won. You stupid bunch of *****s. You nominated the easiest to hate, most mathematically establishment candidate probably ever.
...the right needs to realize that even though voting against Hilary and the "coastal elite" felt good...which I'm sure it did...you've elected a narcissistic megalomaniac. A lot of people need to realize that they just cut off their nose to spite their face. So that a boring ass woman with, at worst, questionable email discipline...who you somehow morphed into your personal Hitler...couldn't become a very boring, very average president. And now it's happened. And the guy you put into office is breaking every promise he made to you. You intellectually vacuous imbeciles got played. You thought he was going to "drain the swamp?" Really? Did you? You think he's going to help the middle class? Ha. Not going to happen. You got sold a bill of goods, you bought it, and you aren't gonna get it. You got hoodwinked. *****s.
We also basically just let Russia conduct a sort of a soft coup of the United States via propaganda and the manipulation of information. Which doesn't seem to bother anyone. I don't know why. It bothers me.
But to summarize...the mental gymnastics of the people who consider themselves "political" disgusts me. Seriously, to hell with all of you damned people. I'm sick of all of you.
The way things are going now, I think Russia should annex the US. Let's just make it formal!
I find living through the most egregious political scandal outside of the formation of The Confederacy rather thrilling.
I can't believe you buy this Russia farce. They found Tom Brady's jersey in 2 weeks but they've been investigating Trump for 7 months and have found nothing. This is merely the political media apparatus trying to control the office of the Presidency. The media's obsession with it is what the real story is. Not if there was collusion with Russia in any from by Trump. Yes, he's got a bit of man-love for Putin but who doesn't. The guy is a total bad ass.

LOL You're really buying into the "nothing burger"? Wild.
You are just repeating taking points. When 47 people go on TV and all of them say "Nothing Burger", it's an organized PR stunt. What I don't understand is why Trump is acting like a 24 carat solid gold *****. Why do they have to keep lying and they are lying. Just spill the beans. If it's nothing, it will be nothing. Why do they insist on making it look like something. These are the most guilty acting innocent people in the history of the republic.
The globalist controlled media insists on making something it look like something. You believe the same media that said he absolutely had no chance of winning the election. Their puppet didn't get elected and they are mad as hell. We don't have a free press in this country as all would like to believe. Pick up the Washington Post sometime. It's 100% anti-Trump. Take a look into who owns it. Same thing for the failing New York Times.
