Why derailed? I agree with Thunderballs.
We already know that from the very first night that President Obama was elected, the republicans got together to make a plan with 1 objective : To get rid of Obama.
The guest list that night (which was just over 15 people in total) included Republican Reps. Eric Cantor (Va.), Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), Paul Ryan (Wis.), Pete Sessions (Texas), Jeb Hensarling (Texas), Pete Hoekstra (Mich.) and Dan Lungren (Calif.), along with Republican Sens. Jim DeMint (S.C.), Jon Kyl (Ariz.), Tom Coburn (Okla.), John Ensign (Nev.) and Bob Corker (Tenn.). The non-lawmakers present included Newt Gingrich, several years removed from his presidential campaign, and Frank Luntz, the long-time Republican wordsmith. Notably absent were Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio).

So no matter what, republicans vow to take down Obama. The Tea Party "movement" is nothing more than a gathering of low-information nut jobs sponsored by rich republicans such as the Koch Brothers to add mass and momentum to the republican goal.
So, why is all of this happening?
Obama is a good, smart president, with a great background who still plays-nice with republicans. All of the socialist-this and Kenyan-that bullshit aside, what is left? If you strip everything down to its common denominator, it is that he is BLACK.
I really am starting to think that too many white people can't get over the fact a black man is now running the show. Republicans constantly ignore all facts and attack the man that they THINK he is (A kenyan, or a Muslim, or a socialist, or all of the above), instead of the man he actually is.
Am I wrong?
