Obama was elected by the majority of America. What better time to complain about rampant racism?
NOTE: I objected to Clinton's election with only 43% of the vote.
If our Constitutional laws proclaim equal representation and protection of all people's interests under govt jurisdiction, then party politics cannot be abused to override this responsibility to represent ALL America, not just the majority winning a vote or election.
see Code of Ethics for Govt Service, where no public servant in federal govt can put party above duty to uphold Constitutional regulations and never be a party to their evasion.

People naturally object to when a policy or person does not reflect their consent or represent their interests; they just selectively express this objection when it suits their argument, and overlook or forgive party politics when it defends their views. Thus one group will object to gun laws as overreaching by govt while imposing prolife bans on abortion (instead of addressing prevention); while another group will do the opposite and object to regulating abortion as overreaching but then support gun regulation etc.
Race, religion "separation of church and state" are other arguments cited when the real issue is people don't feet that policy or party protects or represents their interests.
