Uppity Negro
Say what?
Sorry for the hideous phrase, but that's really the problem here, and it's what they mean when they say they want their country back. They want back that country that always had white Presidents. The idea of "one of them" being the leader, the senior, the Commander in Chief, Number 1, is unbearable.
It was tolerable, sort of, during the campaign, and that's what Sarah Palin wanted to say when she wasn't allowed to give a speech the night they lost the election: not being too bright, she would have railed that the vote was nothing but a distracting warmup, with the real struggle to only now begin by gum (so don't think some piddly little election mattered for much!). You betcha!
They never really grapsed (they're not
too bright either) that day after day they would have to look at his
dark skin and think to themselves, "that's my President."
It galls them to no end and even that doesn't fully describe their
primitivist humiliation and rage. That's partly why words fail them,
Obama is "fascist" or "socialist" or "actually scary" or "Hitler." It calms them not at all to face the horrific fact that he is about 50 times smarter than they.
This is blind fury, being guided to subordinate themselves to such
a being (!!!) and they can't vocalize the odious, putrid real
reason for it. Not when they're sober, anyhow. Incidentally, I
notice commentators are beginning to acknowledge this as the actual
basis, virulent racism that's "always been a factor, of course." Yucch!
That mostly covers what's been going on, unfortunately.
