Is that important to you?  Don’t you find it odd that they go into tremendous details with stories, photos, etc when a mass shooting happens, but if it is not a white person they do the opposite and won’t show a single photo?  Can you name a single other news outlet of the big 5 ( CNN, Fox, NBC, CBS, ABC) that does something like that? 
I don't recall them not showing photos when the DC Sniper(s) were found...

I can agree with this.  True racism sickens me.  But that word is tossed around now like a hand grenade in hand to hand combat. I see it being used when someone does not like the other side and what they are doing or saying.
True. 
It's not exactly aligned with this, but it's in the ballpark:  everything a racist does or says isn't racist.  
But yeah, calling racism for everything becomes the boy who cried wolf.

Do I? 
I bring it?  Or do I just recognize that it's already there?
I think by that logic you can almost interject anything into a discussion.

Those people were also exposed to his skin tone.
As a person who disliked Obama's words/deeds/actions in general and who has voted for numerous candidates of his skin tone in the past, as the grandfather of 3 mixed raced children, Who has a Black son-in-law, a Mexican daughter-in-law, a Guatemalan daughter-in-law. who took in to raise a black teenage boy who dad had died. Who took in a teenage Pakistani girl whose father kicked her out, I resent your insinuation that I disliked him because of his skin tone

Your foing back to a different time.  I used to think CNN was a great place to get info back then.  
also, it probably is not a good comparison...that was a one of a kind, long running national story and manhunt.

That's probably true or nearly true.  
But let's be plain here...is citing race while discussing the only black president in our history likely to be arbitrarily interjected into the conversation?

All these republicans who didn't like Obama's actions sure should be glad Newt Gingrich didn't become president.  That's all I'm saying.

How strange.  I wonder why that is.
It's the exact same reason why the other half refuse to watch MSNBC/CNN/ABC/NBC/CBS.

I have no doubt that Obama didn’t receive some  votes based strictly on his skin color.

I have no doubt he received some votes based on the exact same thing.

Yea, I can agree with that too. 

I liked the freshness and style of Obama when he first came around, especially because coming off of Bush ( who I liked but hated his communication style).   Even though I did not agree with some of his ideas, I thought he would be good for the country. And believe it or not, I though having our first black President was a great thing.  Maybe it was a timing thing for me.

But I was feeling different his second time around.
