The best approach to challenge Obama's policies, or anyone's for that matter, is on the actual facts and not on emotional hyperbole. It is logic that wins arguments and changes people's minds, not hysteria.

Look up the actual statistics for money spent, jobs lost or created (not "saved" - that's a wiggle word), improvements made in specific areas, etc.

Never accept anyone else's interpretation of data! Always look it up yourself. There is an incredible amount of misinformation on the web, and here at Y!A for that matter.

By Democrat definition, challenging a Democrat and "racism" are exactly interchangeable.
Do you remember when Clinton asked Congress for the largest tax increase in all of time? The entire Democrat caucus ACTUALLY SAID objecting to THAT proves you hate black people.
So yeah. As far as Democrats are concerned, you CANNOT challenge Obama unless you're a racist and that has NOTHING to do with his color. It's simply because he's a Democrat.

Opposing Obama and racism have nothing to do with each other. I supported Herman Cain until he dropped out and he is also black. I oppose Obama because of his poor leadership, his dismal record and his Marxist leanings. If that makes me a racist, then I am one but I am voting against Obama because I care about America and not the race of a person. I do not agree with anyone else who believes the thing he believes in and they are white.

its hard to attack Obama from the right without the claim of racism having some merit. You see, most of Obama's controversial policies -- individual mandate as a market solution to the health care problem, cap and trade as a solution to pollution problems, large tax cuts to stimulate the economy used to be conservative orthodoxy.

Its much easier to attack Obama from the left because at least then you are being consistent in your positions -- preferring a government run non-profit insurance system over helping insurance companies, preferring exact technology to reduce pollution, spending on infrastructure and assistance to the temporarily unemployed as a means to stimulate teh economy.

Being accused of racism is not the same as being racist. If you're asking how you can avoid being accused of racism, then the answer is that you can't since the far left will not hesitate to play that card no matter how silly it is.
