    If you or enough people call him pond scum enough times, it will also be turned into some sort of racial slur. The fact that one insults him in the first place, turns one instantly into a racist. Or at least that is how it worked during his terms

    There is nothing you can say against Barack Obama that the left will not label as being racist to the core. Therefore, it is best to ignore them. Their ignorance is not constructive.
