I don't know if it is his general racism or a special hate for Obama but Trump is actively trying to destroy the legacy of Obama. Paris Climate Agreement, Iran Deal, ObamaCare, no matter how useful those things were, Trump wants them gone. And of course he wants to see Obama in a bad light. But that is just his wishful thinking.
"Is this statement at all far from the truth?"
It's a statement from Trump - of course it's far from the truth.

Obama was not a great President but he was nowhere close to the worst.
Yes.
So what standard are you using?

And what does that mean?

I'm referring to the fact that he was swept into office by way of his race rather than how appropriate he would be as a president.
I would like to think that US society will progress in 50 years to the point where they realise that electing someone purely on the basis of their skin colour is an extremely bad idea.

It means that your comment was extremely astute.

That is actually racism, you are aware of that?

Big claim. McCain and Romney were not all-stars.

Well, I only saw what you wrote, and understood it to be, as long it is the resident who speaks it must be the truth. But I realize that if it is a black president you dislike his/her comments based of the skin color, and not the facts the president speaks

That's exactly my point.
Or are you comprehending my posts so poorly that you are interpreting my posts as racist?

If Obama was white, the democrats probably would've have even considered him.

You stated that Obama was a bad president because he is of none white race, to me that is a racistic view.
Your words were "'I`m referring to the fact that he was swept into office by way of his race rather than how appropriate he would be as a president."

Have you ever considered signing up for an adult literacy course of some kind? Your posts are abhorrent.

No I didn't.

This is the comment i am referring to. Do you not see that it has a racistic undertone in it?
Do you base your view on his skin color? or what a colored president actually does as president?

He wasn't perfect, but it's hard not to look good sandwiched between the two dumpster fires Bush and Trump.

No, I base my view on his performance as president.
My comment has no "racistic undertone" - I was referring to the gratuitous focus on his race during the 2008 campaign and the enormous disservice it did to American democracy.
That being said: I would advise you to think twice before characterizing others as racist - it's a much more serious charge than you seem to think it is.

The reason Obama got more focus on his person was that he was the first non-white president that America ever has had. Did he do some bad decisions yes of course, but he was far from a bad president.
My comment on your posts was based out of what you write and it clearly was borderline toward racism from what you wrote. If I was wrong and you do not see black people as unskilled to be a leader of a country, I will apologize for my words.
My personal view is that no matter what race, religion or culture a person comes from, one should not judge them from that, but from their words, actions and thoughts.
