Worse - - Obama was elected that November and immediately won a Nobel Peace Prize for embodying an alternative to George Bush shock-and-awe.
It happened again when the Affordable Care Act was adopted by the Congress and people like Ron Johnson said they wanted their country back because 'ObamaCare' was the worst thing that had ever happened to America.
There was more pain on the right when the foreign-born, socialist Muslim president killed Osama Bin Laden whom Bush couldn't find, then famously ignored.
Then another major relapse by Rightists when Obama rope-a-doped Fox News and Donald Trump with the release of the presidential birth certificate, and another when Mitt Romney told Latinos to self-deport and the unwashed 47% of all hues stood in long lines at polling places made artificially long by Republican election tampering to return Obama for a second term.
Down the rabbit hole they went - mocking the First Lady's physique - - even long-term Wisconsin Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner joined in - - enjoying websites (content warning) and talk shows where the Obamas are portrayed as monkeys and, most-recently defending a Missouri rodeo clown wearing an Obama mask and a broom handle up his butt.
There was more flailing - - 40 failed votes in the US House of Representatives against ObamaCare, and back-firing moves to shut down the government and damage its credit rating - - all to discredit the entrenched, second-term-secure Barack Hussein Obama.
Then the US Supreme Court upheld ObamaCare - - cutting away what Ron Johnson said was our last shred of personal liberty.
It's panic time, thus the Right is dusting off its ultimate equalizer - - impeachment.
Obama's impeachable high crime or misdemeanor - - BPWB - - Being President While Black.
And like all the Right's moves against Obama - - impeachment - - even the talk - - is a self-inflicted suicidal move by a deservedly dying, whites-only party of anger.
To which 47% in the next national election will be its receding high-water mark.
For its unabashed racism in the 21st century, and the intentionally divisive chaos it inflicts daily, "R.I.P." is too nice an epitaph for the now-not-so Grand Old Party.
