My American friend is a Bible-thumping, gun-toting Alabaman. If I see a thread in my Facebook feed about Obama I know he's there saying things like worst president ever and even worse crap than that. I think there is intense hatred in the south for Obama and, I hate to say it, but some of it is racial. I'm actually almost a little surprised that no one has made an attempt on Obama's life over these eight years given what I've read. I don't know enough about American politics to counter what my wing nut friend says so these opinions are useful. I'm not sure I want to engage the guy anyway. By the way, he's not alone in those views. It looks like many southerners share his views.
