"Oooh, he's so light, I don't think he'll look very black at all!" I hear lots of LDS people call Obama literally "scary", without being able to define a policy that frightens them.
Socialized Health Care
Fairness Doctrine
Freedom of Choice Act
Tax Increases on those who provide the jobs
Carbon Emissions Taxes on coal plants designed to "drive them out of business"
Friendly sit downs with Iran

I could care less if he's black. I will quit my job to campaign if JC Watts runs for President.
