GOP war on Obama: Lighting the fire of racism in America

Chicago : IL : USA | May 19, 2012 at 12:15 PM PDT

It has been suggested that the Republican war against President Obama is not being waged because of political ideological differences, but instead, is a thinly veiled disguise for racism against the first black president of the United States.

If this is true, no one should expect anyone on the Republican side of the aisle to actually admit it. But actions do speak louder than words.

There has been a rebellious trend in government since Obama took office that has brought both governing and Americans' view of Congress to historic lows.

Compromise has surrendered to hardline conservative views and deliberate Republican threats and acts have been so profound, they have actually harmed the entire county. Evidence of this can be found in the 2011 debt ceiling battle. Why would any governing body take their own nation to the brink of economic disaster with the threat of credit default, when money was available to pay the country's bills with what has historically been a routine vote?
