Our American Values?

We talk up our American values.

In theory, we may not be prejudiced against people of color, but in our everyday life we seem to like only our own race or color. I am fed up reading silly comments about President Obama and his policy decisions. The Republicans hate him because he is black in color and has the Presidential power to veto bills. 

Why are our Republican friends so narrow-minded? Why do they hate President Obama's foreign policy or his health care laws? 

Should the President only sign bills helping billionaires? Should he only care for moneyed people? Should there be two presidents? One to fend for poor and middle class citizens, and another other to look after the wishes of rich people? English is the national language of the United States but we citizens are multilingual and multicultural people. We must shed all racist attitudes and foul language and debate our President's proposals respectfully. 

Do we want our young children to grow up to be racist bullies? I urge politicians from both sides to provide better example to our children. Otherwise the politicians will discover that the children have learned bullying and hatred all too well.
