Was race a factor when everyone, including House Democrats screamed "liar" to George Bush? - or protested his policies, especially the war? ....Who can forget Cindy Sheehan and her crew. By the way, does anyone even know she had a protest against Obama in August? See how lop-sided the media is.
Not saying Bush, or Obama was or wasn't lying, but we are clearly seeing that people take issue when they feel government tries to push their own agenda (i.e. big government)over the wants of the people.
Michael Steele, along with other African Americans are protesting Obama's agenda. Are we to assume they are racist, too?
You are correct; Obama is definitely bringing something different to the table.
