Racist?

Every criticism of President Obama is quickly being reduced by his supporters as racism. Now let me ask you a simple question. Do the President's supporters really want to keep promoting him as an affirmative action President? Think about it. According to their way of thinking, Barack Obama cannot be challenged simply on policy or ideals alone. Any challenge to him is automatically a racial issue. President Obama should be highly offended that those who support him don't seem to think that he or they can defend his positions. Who, exactly are the racists here? Those who will oppose a black man's positions on important issues, or those who can't get past the color of his skin to scrutinize his policies? These people do both the American people and President Obama a grave disservice.
