Dannie Floyd: “I think they are doing this because he is a Black man and this shows they have no respect.”

Montell Joyner: “I think these candidates are showing disrespect for the President of the United States. Under the Constitution, we should be judged by our intelligence not by the color of our skin.”

Rosie Caradine-Lewis: “I feel and I know this is 2000% wrong. My reason for this is (Obama) has all of the qualities that a president needs. His downfall as far as they are concerned: he is a Black man.”

Mentha Bolton-Bakari: “I feel the two front runners (Republican candidates) are showing no respect for our president and first lady. Never before in the history of this country has such gross disrespect for the President of the United States been so blatant. Racism!”
