I've only recently started paying attention to politics, and I know there were wacky theories about the Clintons, and I'm sure there are many about other presidents. But doesn't it seem like people are far more paranoid about Obama than they normally are about the Pres? I have a few theories as to why there is so much fear of Obama, but I'd like to hear yours as well. Racism is obviously a part for at least a few people, but I don't think it's all of it...any thoughts? And while we're here, we may as well have a really good discussion. What are the implications of these fears? What do they mean about Americans?

Edit: I'm NOT talking about people that simply disagree or even dislike Obama. I have a few problems with him myself. I'm talking about the people who believe he's a muslim spy that was born in Kenya(or similar theories. :P). Just thought I'd clarify.
