Since the beginning of Barack Obama's presidential campaign til now, there has always been those few who just did not like him, because of his views. And when President Obama was taking a little too long to start on his Health Care Reform, many suggested that he was not keeping his promises made in his campaigning. But in actuality, President Obama was trying to finalize other promises he made to the United States. And since President Obama was taking to long to meet the demands of the majority, some felt they had the right to express how they really felt about him being elected as president. Once President Obama started going full force with developing a Health Care plan, some started to feel like the new health care plan is a socialist's idea and has a secret agenda. While others felt like Obama's health care plan will benefit the country, and is what the United States needs at the moment.

To be honest, there is not a real clear way to end this argument because people will continually think what they want to think. But I feel like, the people who are carrying around the negative signs just need to rethink President Obama as the President of the United States rather than him being looked as as something else.

At the very end of your post, you made a statement about the citizens on the United States need to stop thinking negatively and rethink President Obama. For a while now, I have been following your blog and looking at the different issues that have arisen in the debate between race and health care. While being familiar about the issues that may come about with Obama's new health care, the main topic I would like to discuss is the racial aspect that has come about due to having an African-American president. In all honesty, I believe that in order to eliminate this issue between race and health care, we as a society have to stop labeling ourselves as black, white, hispanic, etc, etc. We have to eliminate race in general. Until we don't have to bubble in a circle that says what race we are, then any issues dealing with race will unfortunately still occur.

I agree with wartime communities. I would like to add that because we now have an African-American President everytime that someone opposes him, people assume this is because he is African American. However, maybe people just don't agree with his ideas. It's not always because of his race.
