I remember one guy I knew saying that Obama's opponents keep accusing him of being born in Kenya or being a secret Muslim or being Communist were not only wrong, but they were missing the point. He said that number one reason to oppose is that he is a product of the Chicago political machine and would bring Chicago style politics to the national level. Constantly playing classes and races against each other, intolerance of dissent, viewing rival politicians as personal enemies and using government resources to go after those enemies, and giving plum contracts to cronies on a level never quite seen in a modern President. So far his prediction has been correct.

Obama doesn't even have much in common with the average black person in US. He was raised by a white family and didn't even view himself as black until his twenties. The idea that some conservatives have that Obama has a burning hatred for whitey is inaccurate. He is just playing everyone against each other for political gain and not out of any personal belief.
"On a personal basis? I would generally say better."
Agreed, the people I associate with are as varied know as ever before. We get along fabulously.

"On a public discourse level? I would say worse."
As spoon fed by the media who get fat off our money.

"Obama doesn't even have much in common with the average black person in US"
He doesn't have a whole lot in common in his upbringing with anyone, much less any black person, unless they were the product of a Marxist White Woman and African Father, abandoned by his Father before he turned 1, wisked away to be raised by his mothers Indonesian Muslim Father, until being dumped off on his white grand parents. Just your typical upbringiing.

I'm sure Rev Wright once pet a speckled pup and hugged a kitten. So what!

His military record is irrelevant to his decades of 'gd ing the USA and promoting racial violence.

Lee Harvey Oswald was a former marine, so what is your point?
During Rev. Wright's 36 years working for a predominantly (90%+) white denomination, when did he ever promote racial violence?

only perturbed people are the political white voters. If you take the politics out of the equation, tell me what you end up with - put that in a poll

If Obama's part of the problem, how can he be part of the solution?

Default Let's get to it!

Obama and his advisors measures everything on political outcome instead of the rule of Law. Its every thing this Adminstration does from Benghazi to the IRS to Fast Ferrous. The Point is , President can not be your beer drinking buddy in the Rose Garden, The President has to be clear decisive.

President Bush had no problem with being clear on National Issues. It Makes me wonder If we Mitt Romney as President how all of these situations would of turned out.

If you look at the first page of the PAOC board just look at all the threads that have been locked and you'll see which race has caused this country the most grief.


A world of peace could have been pursued and achieved if not for these trouble makers.

The old "Blacks are a menace to society" gripe. That line has been said over and over for the last 200 years.

Reminds me of the movie "Mississippi Burning." "Our ni***rs was happy until you came and started stirring up all this ruckus."

And I have enough critical thinking to understand that it isn't regular Black people doing that looting. That is mostly the underclass segment of the Black population doing that. I know the difference. What is taking place if Ferguson is not "another day in the Black population". It is the very worst of the Black population doing this crap. Rest of the Black population is trying to stay away from those fools.

How come no one says "that's White people for you" when there are young White people looting and rioting after sporting events?
