It's kind of a lose-lose situation for black people; if a serious black republican ran and a black person didn't vote for him it would be because black people viewed him as an uncle tom or that he wasn't black enough (apparently now that Obama has been elected there are different percentages of black). But if you're black and you did vote for him then you ONLY voted for him JUST because he was black. No other reasons needed.

I think the only solution would just be to stop black people from voting all together. Then everything would be fair and balanced and only people who were truly qualified to lead the country into greatness would be elected. Wonder how that would work out

While we're at it, why not repeal women's right to vote too?

Probably should because if history is going to repeat itself; our next goal will be to elect a female president just so we can say we did it

I would vote for Colin Powell or Condy Rice in a heartbeat. I've always wished they would run.

At this point, who cares anymore. He is in office over a year, has not done anything to help this country in any way and 2012 will be here before you know it. I just pray it isn't too late to fix this mess.

It all starts Nov 2, 2010 then the big dance in 2012.

That was a "faux" surplus pumped up by Clinton/Greenspan/Rubin robbing the Fed and looking the other way in the late 90s.

The libs claim that Obama inherited a "mess" from Bush. If that is the case, then Bush inherited a ticking time bomb from Clinton.

But I digress. Race was most certainly a factor in Obama's election, as well as being touted as a Rock Star by the USSCM (United States State Controlled Media).

I've met many a lib to whom I've asked "Did you vote for Obama/Biden?" and get the response "Yeah, but my (dad/mom/cousin/friend) is still out of work and I regret my vote.

The remedy will begin this November and we will get our strong nation back in 2012.
