In your eyes, you mean a LIBERAL black president. I don't think so. Give a run down of liberal black that you see as qualified. Hell, name one that's even as unqualified as the current resident.

SMH...It's just...forget it. I can't right now.
Obama was raised in a white household. He went to a prestigious school. He never experienced the typical black life in America. He never grew up in the projects and has an idea of what it was like but did not live it.

Ben Carson has the experience and the knowledge that Obama never had to identify with black culture. Obama just takes the part well , very well , but we all know he was a privileged half black man who lives in a white world in a white household. His dad was not there , just his white mother and grandmother to raise him. Obama sought out black culture because he had no black identity growing up.

By that standard we wouldn't(shouldn't) have kept electing white guys after the messes a number of them have left behind, eh?

The Tea Party serve the bourgoisie by deregulating corporations, handing out corporate welfare and keeping the minimum wage low. The establishment GOP only differs from them in that they are less Bible Thumper.
ILLEGAL aliens DO help in keeping wages low. Sheesh!

I don't agree with everything the Tea Party stands for but; when talking about illegal immigration, I'm with their kind 100 percent.

I see that. Probably because Dr Carson could've gone "hood rat" real easy but his mom said; "ain't gonna happen". Kinda like Ms Graham smacking her 16 year old kid around during the mess in Baltimore because she didn't want to see him join Freddie Gray or Michael Brown.
