I think it is great President Obama paid a two-day visit to Oklahoma, especially considering it hasn't exactly been politically friendly turf for him.  

Here's what you had to say about his visit:

Laura from Lula first said, “I loved the fact he put the hate for him aside and came to make things better for us...so upset the racists showed up."

Rachel in Stillwater, “I'm embarrassed at what people have said on social media. I'm normally proud to be an Oklahoman, but not these past two days."

Jinni writes, "To make the announcement regarding broadband and addressing overcrowding in our prisons was an honor for our state."

Paula says, "As far as the people waving confederate flags, it wasn't about racism it was about the fact that we have a right to do such thing."

Adam writes, "Obama himself had nothing to do with the decisions to take down confederate flags, so greeting a black president with the confederate flag makes only the point that we are rude, disrespectful, and stuck in the past."

Terri writes, "I'm still not 100% sure his visit wasn't one colossal waste of money."

Finally from James, "I respect the office but not the man. I felt nauseous knowing he was coming to our great state."
