Mitt also suggested that the President "take it back to Chicago." Whatever that means? A professor from Brown University concurred with these allegations that this is coded hate speech. They do have a point in my opinion. Obama is angry or hateful? That is pure bullshit from where I sit. The man has bent over backwards to avoid giving credence to such crazy talk. It does smack of racism and it's straight from the horses ass. (Romney and Paul). I am not branding all Republicans as racist. There are some in the Democratic party too. Maybe these idjits will tone down their rhetoric after this and keep on the topic of policy instead of fanning the flames of the racist element in American society. One can only hope.
Fixed it for ya
