Lol, THANK YOU!

People always neglect that he was the only "President of Harvard Law Review" to NEVER publish an article, AND all the "reforms" he passed while "in power" were subsequently overturned the VERY NEXT YEAR after he left because they didn't work.


It's like saying, "Bush must be smart and a good leader because he's the president." Yeah, well, tell me what was DONE as president to gain the "smart" and "good leader" label.



But, ya know, at this stage in the game it's preaching to the choir.

So you believe that if someone prefers Hillary or McCain over Obama as our president, it's ONLY because they are racially prejudiced against black people?

STOP WHINING BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T LIKE OBAMA. CHOOSING HILLARY OR MCCAIN OVER OBAMA DOES NOT MAKE A PERSON A RACIST. OBAMA IS TOO LIBERAL FOR MANY PEOPLE. HE IS WAY MORE LIBERAL THAN HILLARY. THEY ARE NOT SIMILAR ON POSITIONS LIKE PEOPLE TRY TO MAKE IT LOOK, SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY PREFER ONE OVER THE OTHER. STOP CRYING.

Now you heard it from somebody black.

Really, let's cut to the chase. Alot of Obama haters don't like him because he's black. That's the dirty little secret. "Not in my ethnic group, not gonna vote for him". And that's probably the kindest opinion some of them might have.

Give the guy a chance. Pretend he's a white guy who just happens to have some black DNA. Whatever it takes. But to call this man stupid is over the top.

I've avoided some of the threads recently so it may have happened in some of those, but I haven't heard many people say he was stupid. I have heard alot of people say he's inexperienced, far left etc., but I've never heard the stupid comment.

I also haven't heard people say they would not vote for him because he's black. I'm sure there are some that feel that way, but the race issue seems to be brought up by his supporters to explain why someone might not vote for him. If there is as much substance to him as you say, then there are many areas where people may not agree with him. You diminish him with the race argument by making him nothing more than his race.

Is this thread about McCain?

Or Obamuhuhuhuhuhuhuh-a?

Speaking of which, his halting, "uh uh" extemporaneous speaking style is probably why he never became a courtroom litigator.... He's a great speaker, but really, he's just reading a script and channeling greater men than he into a performance for the masses.

We can hire an actor for that.

I agree. Obama riding around in a tank is ALMOST as funny as him on a tractor, which is ALMOST as funny as him bowling.
