Or the consensus "worst president of all time" Warren G Harding:



You people just come in here and disrespect the president, you say some really offensive and disgusting things and you have no regard for the country at all. You people are just letting your prejudices get the best of you. Clearly your hatred for "liberals" and Obama are not based in logic or anything other than irrational bigotry.
I hate to have to say this but I just can't handle much more of your calling me a racial bigot. It is the man and what he stands for that makes me against him. I don't give a damn what color his skin is. Oh well, when a socialist stands for things we don't care for he can expect our socialists to use the race card for him.

Seriously, if you care about this country, you should be far more offended by a man who actually was the leader of a civil war and a rogue nation than some black man who you believe is a secret Communist Muslim.
I spent many minutes today reading a thing about all the coincidences involved in the life of Hussein this morning and may have to introduce that thing to this forum for people like you to ignore. History will tell the tale unless he can manage to buy this coming election with some of his outstanding methods.

Of course, you do know that many places in the South have streets etc dedicated to Jeff Davis. Don't tell me that he was a lot worse than Hussein. I am using that part of his name because of the number of lefties here who like to use Willard here. You get them stopped and I will be easy to stop. Prince Barack suits me much better.

So Obama definitely deserves a statue, because I know these past 4 years have been very tough on him.
Not nearly so tough as they should have been. I guess you really weren't around to see how people talked about Bush.

I am referring to the media in general. I've never seen so many racist comments for any president when reading comments about the president in news articles. He's called everything from a monkey to a communist. I never saw such name calling with Bush. It leads me to believe that a lot of hate for him is purely racially based, which other presidents have not had to deal with.

People going, on and on about his name, I mean really, what the heck does his name have to do with anything? I guess it would have been better if he changed his name to Billy Bob to make certain folks feel comfortable.

"by a president as monumental as Obama"




That's the thing, we don't think that at all.

Where would you like to see it erected?
In a dumpster in Greece.

This thread was meant to be humorous. I'm not a Romney supporter nor am I an Obama worshipper. But the Kenya/tar pit, racial references are out of line.

I think Obama has been a horrible president. He has not served this country nor the people for the better. It is not because of the color of his skin but based on his "ideals" and his own perspective as to the direction this country should go, which up to now is downward.

You shame yourselves by exposing your own ignorance when you have to go so low as to bring race into it.
