This book is the first in-depth examination of the 25 million Americans with the most intense hatred of President Obama -- arguably the most Republican-friendly of recent Democratic presidents -- and what the mindsets of these "Obama Haters" teach us about race and ethnicity in America today.* Offers a critique of Obama from the left on his health insurance reform, judicial and political appointments, civil liberties policies, educational reforms, and strategy for dealing with African American concerns* Presents hard data showing that Obama Haters are so extreme in their conservatism and in their anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, and anti-black attitudes that in comparison, Tea Party supporters appear to be moderate* Boldly identifies strategies for dealing with white racial anxiety about a diversifying America* Provides empirically derived estimates of the percentage of the American public with strong anti-black, anti-Latino, anti-immigrant, and anti-Muslim attitudes.
