He does stink as a leader and you're right Joe, you don't have to be a racist to figure that out...But there are plenty of people who believe he stinks as a leader because he is black...How come this is so hard to admit?...Racism is alive and well...You don't have to be a racist to figure that out either...

he stinks as a Leader because of his narcissist Personality!
Mussolini on Steroids!

So then using your analogy would you say the record number of African-Americans who voted for Obama did so based solely because of his race are racist?

Shhh, you're not allowed to say that!.....

This is what I feel as well. Completely a loose cannon! Has no intention of upholding the constitution in the slightest and is not in the least bit for to hold any office, let alone the office of POTUS!!!

Yes he is. It's true!

Sure...why not say that? So, EVERY single [at least partially] black person in America (including those not even old enough to vote) voted for President Obama ONLY because he's [1/2] black.

That would then account for 14.2% of the popular vote. Where'd the other 36.8% of the majority vote come from that elected President Obama TWICE?


I do not believe that the majority of President Obama's detractors do so and ignore the facts of the matters (as OP did when making his OP) simply because President Obama is [1/2] black; I'm sure the fact that he is a Democratic president has at least something to do with deliberately ignoring the facts of the matters, too.

Folks, if I recall correctly, the topic of this thread is why was Obama elected in the first place. What he has done since being elected is irrelevant to the question asked in the OP.

You're welcome.

It was my pleasure to do your research FOR you, thus saving yourself the time and trouble to base your opinions on legitimate and factual information, rather than knee-jerking, emotional reactionism.

I didn't forget.

I just chose to show 2 minorities that were elected by the allegedly closet racists from the epicenter of the southern rebellion.

We can save Carson for another thread after he declares his intentions to run and watch the democrat voters start their uncle tom attacks.

I suppose that it was racism, that liberal democrats didn't endorse Alan Keyes nomination in 2008.

Nahhhh...we "libtards" probably didn't endorse him because we don't agree with this political leanings and hypocrisy which are deeply influenced by his Christian *right* views, which make him always *right* while being a hypocrite:

"...In 2005, when Maya Keyes was 20 years old, she came out as a lesbian. There were reports her family threw her out of the house and stopped talking to her. In an interview with Metro Weekly, a Washington, D.C., LGBT newspaper, Maya confirmed that her father "cut off all financial support." In the same report Maya said, "It doesn't make much sense for him to be [financially] supporting someone who is working against what he believes in." Alan Keyes contradicted reports about his having disowned his daughter in October 2007. Keyes said that he loves his daughter and that she knows she has a home with him. He asserted that he never cut her off and never would, because it would be "wrong in the eyes of God." He also said he would not be coerced into "approving of that which destroys the soul" of his daughter. He contended that he must "stand for the truth [Jesus Christ] represents" even if it breaks his heart..."

Looks like racism to me.

Then you don't know the meaning of the word "racism".


Dick Cheney is not black and he, too, deplores homosexuality and fights against it...


...all the while HIS daughter is openly gay, too.


"H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-S-Y". Akin to Sarah Palin campaigning on a platform calling for abstinence-only education in schools


with her pregnant, unwed teenage daughter applauds her, while sharing the stage and limelight.


*Kinda like* that.

My friend, you and I have been posting in the forums together, for quite awhile.
I will not ever be disrespectful to you.

However, as you're aware of, I will throw the proverbial monkey wrench, into all sides of a debate.

Watch it. She knows Chaz Bono.

You should have read the OP. One of the questions is "Why is.." which is present tense, not past tense, so you are injecting your editing into someone's else's thread, which BTW, is off topic.

I wish I knew Chaz Bono, his mom's hot.

that's a gruesome thing to do!

I agree that some people are racist from both (all actually) races. However, if Obama proves to be a bad leader by any objective standard, the ones who think he is a bad leader because he is half black don't matter. The truth that Obama is a bad leader stands alone.

As the OP points out, Obama has no experience in various areas so he is forced to rely on others for experience and knowledge. His leadership ability is judged by his ability to find and select those around him who can fill the void, not play yes-man and/or parrot his world view.

Some news this past week was of the increasing reports by the top brass of our military that Obama's staff is cherry picking targets and operations against ISIL instead to listening to the military. This is a classic mistake made famous by the Vietnam War.

There was another news report from the White House that the US intends to leave air cover operations intact after we withdraw our troops from Afghanistan. Anyone with any military knowledge knows how stupid it is to telegraph to the enemy what, when, and how our forces will be deployed so they can effectively enact countermeasures. Obama is a master of telling the enemy exactly what we plan to do ... for what he thinks will get a little political mileage.
