Unprecedented actions since Barack Obama assumed the Presidency:

Accused of not being legally eligible to serve as President
Called a liar in the middle of the State of the Union speech
A previously unseen number of filibusters with regard to the judiciary and all executive appointments
Inviting a foreign dignitary without consulting the WH in order to come and argue against a Presidential diplomatic effort
Sending an open letter to the sovereign leader of a foreign nation stating that any actions taken by this President are not binding

Feel free to add your own, but REMEMBER, none of this is about race, SO STOP SAYING THAT!

Previous Presidents had the privilege of being able to raise the debt ceiling without a fuss.

Obama? Not so much.

The GOPers were pretty much willing to crash the economy before a few sane Republicans joined with all the Dems in the House to raise the debt limit.

Close calls in the WH ie lax SS security.
I don't recall any other POTUS being falsely accused of being a Muslim.
Basically called a terrorist in bed with ISIS.
Disrespected for capturing and killing OBL.
6 years of no bi-partisan work done, SOLELY based on the GOP refusing to work with this POTUS. Never the other way around.

BUT YEAH...NOT ABOUT SKIN COLOR!
