Considering he is almost black and the struggle in this country to gain high positions, you would think he would have developed thicker skin, but I believe he was spoiled and too pampered to have had much of a life journey or any kind of struggle.
Really?? So every one voted for him because he was black? Even the republicans? Interesting!

May I point out the fact that blacks conveniently forget he's half white just as whites conveniently forget the fact he's only half black.

Do you feel this could actually happen and would there be an immediate burst of positive economic activity as a result?
Well if it did happen, the economy would start moving again. However, I think most Republicans would prefer he continue to run for office since he is so vulnerable.

Ski, I think for most Americans -- white and black -- half-white means all black.

Now, what did this little soliloquy contribute to the matter at hand?
Oh, thats right, nothing.
That would be your usual contribution.
You do nothing around here cept attack other posters, you are useless. You have a self-image problem and these forums are not therapy. Bug off.

The way things have been going, i believe his color is moot, nothing to do with the bad job he has been doing. His color in no way has any bearing on him doing a better job does it. So many are so very unhappy with him, mostly the thousands and thousands of fine hard working people who cannot find work, some over 2 years, what does this say. I happen to know some of these hard working families who lost their homes, how sad and also their jobs. In some cases both parents out of work, that is heartwrenching.

Hillary is even LESS QUALIFIED than Barack. She has never run or governed anything either.
