Well I want Condoleezza Rice to be President, so I don't really think I have any hate toward blacks, especially given my skin color.

Sorry, but I am not a republican. The left needs to try to be open minded as they claim they are. Otherwise they just keep repeating talking points.

So many people warned of Obama's inexperience and far left wing agenda, yet he still got elected. Can we finally admit most people voted for him because they wanted to make history by electing the first black (sort of) man to office? The media desperately wanted it for their headlines and did everything they could to ensure it happened.

Maybe, just maybe, next time we should vote based on ability and experience.
You mean like opponent Sarah Palin? As bad as Obama is, and he is bad, I'll take my chances with him before I'll pick Nalin Palin or Bush. People picked Obama because he wasn't Bush, no other reason. Ironically he's starting to resemble Bush more and more each day.

we could've elected wesley snipes as president, and there would still be some fools saying some mess about how he's only "kind of black".

YOUR PRESIDENT IS AFRICAN AMERICAN. DEAL WITH IT

Are you sure? I remember a LOT of blacks claiming he was not black enough just prior to the nomination. He only became black enough AFTER the nomination.

And you seriously believe that a 72 year old, mediocre senator and a bimbo governor of a state with a population less than that of a large US city would have done a better job of getting us out the mess George left??

The pickings were slim in the last election - you picked your poison, I picked mine.

You all tell yourselves how smart you are. Yet, all you ever say to anyone that doesn't think exactly like you is that they are racist. I don't know if you all realize how dumb you actually sound.

It's boring, old and childish.

Since it is a undisputable fact that Repubs adopted racism as their primary base the moment the Dems abandoned it under Johnson, it may be boring to mention it but hardly childish.

Stating the truth is the first responsibility of an adult mind and to say otherwise is very childish.

So do I and that has always puzzled me. I also know more liberals in n.CA that have handguns than the conservatives we know. On our trek around our new community, one such declared "liberl" used the N word and I about fainted.

Its ok for them to be racist, because they pretend to be for them!
So what they use the n word they are for them no boats will be rocked in fear of being cut off of and or getting more assistance!

Like that dumb woman after obma was elected how she believed she will not have to pay rent or her car payment anymore
