Obama will lose in 2012, Emocrats will cry and blame racism, voting machines, the South, white people, racism, big business, racism, capitalism, racism, hate, racism, etc etc etc. Whoever beats him will instantly be labeled a racist who hates black people.

I'm not scared in the least bit of Obama losing, it's the only way we can get things back on track in this country.

I think it will be worse violence than what we avoided in 2000. IMHO, if Obama fails to be re-elected in a close race, we could see massive rioting like what happened with Rodney King in 1992 with gangs of inner city residents rampaging through the streets, fermented by Jeremiah Wright types. If the police beating of a single black criminal can cause days of violence and chaos, one can only wonder what happens if a self-identified black president and former radical community organizer fails to be re-elected, the anger that will be present in America's inner city communities. I live in Baltimore and am very wary of this and in my opinion alone, I think people living in or near major cities should all be concerned about this possibilty. There are also radical socialist, anarchist, and hippie organizations that may engage in violence, on a far larger level than what we see whenever the World Bank, the G8, or the IMF meets.

I don't think the same people who burned down Los Angeles in 1992 or who rampaged through Seattle during the WTO meetings will just sit at home and do nothing if their candidate is defeated, especially if the race is close and the victor is white. If it is Michael Steele or Bobby Jindal perhaps this MAY be avoided, and even then that would be a HUGE perhaps.
Talk about being a paranoid delusional white man! You must live in constant fear of black people.Perhaps you should abandon Baltimore and get a pup tent, a 6 month supply of food & water for the aftermath of the November 2012 elections!

There will be some bad apples as there are in any extreme.

Nothing Americans can't handle.

as long as he keeps the war irons in the fire, and cranks up the bellows, he won't be defeated...
