Still not interested in how Obama compares to previous presidents.
It's not relevant, ...
And yet, you are the one who brought up the record of previous presidents by quoting the article from the Washington Times that compared Obama to Reagan!
Your better get your story straight, Mel. You're making yourself look foolish.
As to Obama inciting violence, here is a quote from his speech after the Zimmerman verdict:
"Now, the question for me at least, and I think for a lot of folks, is where do we take this? How do we learn some lessons from this and move in a positive direction? I think it's understandable that there have been demonstrations and vigils and protests, and some of that stuff is just going to have to work its way through, as long as it remains nonviolent. If I see any violence, then I will remind folks that that dishonors what happened to Trayvon Martin and his family. But beyond protests or vigils, the question is, are there some concrete things that we might be able to do."
Please explain how you think that this incites violence.
You've told us all what a wonderful life you have. And you're disappointed that Obama has squandered (in your opinion) his opportunity to improve things for blacks. And yet you are complaining that Obama hasn't done anything to improve YOUR life! So, do you want him to focus on improving things for the people who need it most, or just you? Again, you are being very inconsistent.

Let me give you an example of how I think Obama has incited racial discord and violence. There are many things he could have said and done following both the shooting of Trayvon Martin and the verdict in the George Zimmerman case. He chose to make comments that energized the racial divide in this country and that I believe incited and emboldened some within the black community (e.g. in Oakland, CA) to break windows and destroy the property of those who had nothing to do with what happened in Florida.
I am so disappointed by what Obama has achieved as president, I view him as the president of no Americans. He has achieved little and I can not point to a single thing he has done that has improved my life. In fact, he has achieved just the opposite. As the recent polls suggest, this is not an isolated view.
