Why All This Drama Over Obama? Why Do People Hate President Obama? I guess more accurately the question should be why do some people hate President Obama? He was elected by a large margin of electoral votes so there are definitely a lot of people who like him. But that said! Why All his Drama Over Obama? When he announced he was running for president, the secret service had to start guarding him about six months before they normally start guarding presidential candidates! Because of all the death threats he was receiving. So the question is why is that? What had he done that was so bad that they had to start guarding him that early? Did he murder somebody, rape somebody, rob a bank, commit an act of terrorism? No he didn't. All through the presidential campaign there were people protesting his candidacy, calling him a traitor, a socialist, a communist, a Muslim or an Arab, (which to their minds were all bad things) but none of this was true! But they still persisted in spewing their hatred toward him and were not amenable to reason or the truth. At some of John McCain’s rallies there were people shouting kill him! I can’t remember anybody at a political rally shouting kill a presidential candidate in my life time, no matter how unpopular they were! So again, Why All This Drama Over Obama? What had candidate Obama done that was so egregious that it engendered that kind of intense hatred and hostility toward him? When he became president the hatred and hostility didn’t stop, it intensified! You had the so-called birthers attempting with all of their might to delegitimize his presidency saying that he couldn’t be president because he wasn’t born in the United States. No matter how much data was examined or presented to show he was born in the United States, (birth certificate, announcement of his birth in two papers at the time) was not good enough for these people. It was all faked! The truth could only be what they fervently and bitterly believed the truth to be! They wouldn’t and probably still won’t accept anything less than what they believe! Again, Why All This Drama Over Obama? What do they have against President Obama? What has he done to engender that kind of hostile scrutiny from them? Did Bill Clinton or George W. Bush have to prove they were born in the United States to be president? No they didn't. At many of the so-called town halls meeting, angry protestors carried caricatures of the president as Adolf Hitler as well as other offensive racial images of him to show what a horrible person they think he is! But what had President Obama done to make them view him as Hitler or as someone who was the same type of person as Hitler? Hitler killed millions of people, what had President Obama done that could be equated to what Hitler had done? Let me answer that; nothing! Then there was the healthcare scare! Obama is going to kill grandma! These people just won’t quit! They want to delegitimize his presidency and get him out of office by any means necessary! Again Why All This Drama Over Obama? As shocking as this may seem to some of you, there are some people in this country who just don’t want to see a black man be president! Or any none white person for that matter. But definitely not a black man! They say this is a white country and should be ruled or governed only by white people, preferably white men! To these people (including some in the congress) President Obama can do no good. He could walk on water, bring the dead back to life, wipe out world hunger, bring peace to the world and they’ll find a way to find something wrong with what he did! Because it’s not about what he does It’s about what he is! All you have to do is type white supremacy into Google search or a search engine of your choice and read the contents of the various white supremacy sites. Or visit the Southern Poverty Law Center’s website, (they tracks hate groups) and those of you who don’t want to believe that in this day and age that the President’s race is the problem, will receive a rude awakening! Of course not everyone who doesn’t like the president is a racist. Some may have legitimate political differences with him. That’s ok! They can disagree with him and have a civil discourse about it without spewing hate and hostility! Some people don’t know that their negative racial feelings are fueling their fear and hatred of President Obama and would be mortified to think that they harbored any such feelings. But, psychologically, when someone automatically experiences intense hatred, dread or other such emotions about someone they don’t know, it’s usually a sign that they have underlying subconscious feeling they aren’t acknowledging. It’s like a phobia, were someone reacts to a fly as if it’s a grizzly bear about to attack them! Their reaction is out of proportion to the danger they’re actually in! A phobia is a conditioned response, a subconscious alarm system that says, when you see situation or person A, trigger emotional reaction B! People like this wouldn’t know why they have such intense anger or hostility toward President Obama, but may unconsciously project it on to something else about him that would keep them from being aware of the true reasons for their intense dislike of the president. So again, why do these protestors have such intense hostility and fear of President Obama that appears to be out of all proportion to anything he’s actually done? Why All This Drama Over Obama? The republicans, Rush Limbaugh and others' stated agenda was to stop President Obama from being successful. Not to try to make the country better, to help people or to try to create more jobs but to stop Obama! They don't give a damn about the country only about stopping Obama; and they proved this by being against anything President Obama was for! If they were for some proposal and Obama decided to adopt it, they would do an about face and reject a proposal that they previously supported because Obama was now for it! Are these people really Americans? Should they even call themselves Americans, if all they care about is stopping President Obama bedamned the country? So the questions remains what has President Obama done that was so bad that these people have all these irrational ideas, feelings, beliefs and hatred toward him? Why All This Drama Over Obama?
