Any dem would have won after Bush. Would you say the same if Hillary had won?
Yes, and I should have elaborated on my comment. Americans have demonstrated that they are ready and willing to vote for a black president (and perhaps a woman, though I'm not so sure, based on the attacks aimed at Hillary and Palin). However, race isn't an excuse for poor performance. Once you're in the big chair, you have the job to do and the country will hold you to it...even if you're a minority. We won't keep a poor performer as president to meet a quota.
It sends a message that America runs off a system and breaking that system isn't allowed. Most people aren't political Davy so of Obama loses most will think racism and that's a little correct but maintaining a owner, worker class is basically what runs any successful country. It's not so much racism s it is keeping people where they belong.
This is the truth but the GOP will never admit it.

If that were true it would be fair but he has been blocked and attack by the GOP not because something was bad but because he was black and you know it.
I just hope minorities will not be as cruel to us as we've been to them.
For God sakes it's 2012 and the GOP is trying to limit their voting rights.
That's the thing with minorities. They just want a fair go at life. Nothing more than that. It's nervous white people that really ruin things. As a minority in management, I work in environments that are majority whites, the white men are always the most nervous and kiss my ass the most.
The only thing I can think of is: they think I'm going to try and "get even". It's really a scene to watch. They can't hide their feelings neither. Some of them don't even realize that they are displaying them. They lose all composure. It's quit sad to see.

As long as you admit that I have no issues with that but Romney isn't god and no one knows his plans, he's doing we'll because he's white and alot of white men will vote for him.
