Agreed, Michael Murphy.  The assertion that Obama has appointed only Muslims to the White House staff or that only black children are invited into the White House are not "opinions" but are, rather, outright falsehoods and need to be challenged as such.  If that makes anyone feel "inferior", then that is not really my problem.  Even if there ARE Muslims on the White House staff, so what?

Rerun, you are so right;  people DO forget that the president is as much white as he is black and focus solely upon his "blackness", otherwise we would not even be having this conversation about black kids being invited into the White House.

Jean, the White House keeps public records of those who have visited the White House, so no one would be "hard pressed" to find this information.  If you want to make derogatory sweeping statements and then claim that you have neither the time nor the desire to back them up, then why should anyone listen to anything you have to say?

And Michael Murphy, we have every right to question someone's opinion.  Opinions are not sacred.  Hitler had plenty "opinions" as do the KKK.  We have a duty in a democracy to question the opinions that are obviously based on falsehoods.  Those sorts of "opinions" are not opinions at all, rather, they are called "propaganda".  Calling someone out on believing propaganda is NOT a "personal attack".

PrimeTimer, you have a vivid imagination, and of course the Obamas will leave the White House in January.  Is some crazy racist group suggesting they will will stay past their time?  But I will tell you one thing that is fact, and that is that if either Trump or Cruz become President of the United States, I will get whatever license I need to purchase a gun and then will get a concealed/carry license.  Canada is going to have to loosen their border restrictions to allow in hoards of American asylum seekers!  And THAT is MY opinion!   ;D

According to the Obama Countdown Clock, Obama only has 306 days left and then must vacate the White House. Fact is fact. But, he can look at it this way; once he is out of office and gets back home, he can wear those mommie jeans again any time he likes.

I personally will miss Obama , he had class , could talk easily and diplomatic with foreign  officials, was able to represent the country in many ceremonies in a dignified way, no embarrassing tweets and a great sense of humor !  Just look at his replacement, an immature narsasistic bully ! Wow !

I'll bet that once he becomes President, Trump will not allow the press to cover any SOTU speeches, assuming he gives one at all.  He is not constitutionally required to.

Or, maybe he'll just tweet it.

He will probably just Tweet because that way the press can't twist it and edit it.  It will be what it is and not changed to make him look bad.

He does a pretty good job of looking bad all on his own.

Agreed

I like alot of stuff he pushes but but he has that knee jerk reaction instead of thinking before he speaks.
