I get that heâÂÂs the president of the United States and the first African American President, but do you think that Obama has been too much in the news? When a new president is chosen, they are followed by the media for the first 100 days. ItâÂÂs been 209 days in 2009 and Obama still keeps making headlines–not just about his presidential life, but about his personal life. $0 The media has tried to find any dirt on him that might jeopardize his presidency, even swirling rumors that he isnâÂÂt an American. The most recent âÂÂscandalâ was when he had a drink this week with Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Sgt. James Crowley. I understand that he should have his head on other things, but come on. $0$0 I mean, I think that every man in American has a drink or two in their house behind closed doors. I personally donâÂÂt see it as anything bad because heâÂÂs inside his house, it’s not like heâÂÂs at a bar with strippers and stuff. I think people just need to chill and accept the difference thatâÂÂs heâÂÂs a black president. It makes you wonder if people are still a bit frightened by the difference. $0$0 Yes, thereâÂÂs a big financial mess but like they said: itâÂÂs not going to be cured overnight. It takes time and I think people are just losing their patience and trying to find someone to blame. Beer wonâÂÂt cure what is going on in the world but what makes you think that other presidents didnâÂÂt do the same thing? Why is only Obama in the spotlight for it?  I think its time to back off and leave him alone. $0
