What does it take for President Obama to be forced to accept the responsibilities of his position?
The U.S. didn't cleanse itself of it's racist past by electing Obama; it will only come when we hold him to the same standards that we would were he white. This business of giving him a pass that would be afforded no other president is just another form of racism. George W. Bush called it "the soft bigotry of low expectations" - that phrase describes what's happening with Obama perfectly.
