Also, the notion that the trailer park trash that makes up a significant portion of the Republican base has a clearer grasp of international politics than uneducated inner city blacks is naive and laughable. Since when do people need college degrees to understand what "Go back to Kenya" means?...
What kind of comment is "Trailer park trash"?

According to your opinion he's on "their" side but in reality he's on the side of Republicans like Bush who wasn't really a conservative republican at all.

Poll numbers tell me that. Obama has a much higher disapproval rating with republicans than democrats.

Why do you ask? Do you think it's odd that republicans disapprove of Obama more than the dems do?

Hindsight is 20/20, isn't it. Clearly we should have elected Hillary. There's no doubt at all about how tough Ms. Clinton is!! We will have another chance after Obama's two terms.

That's quite possibly the most insane statement I've seen posted here.

The damage to america will take many decades to repair, if it ever can be, for once the parasite-class gets a whiff of another "freebie", well it will be hard to reverse course and restore freedom and prosperity.

Spot on:
He got into Harvard via affirmative action.
He became an IL state senator via affirmative action.
He became president via affirmative action.
He will probably be reelected via affirmative action.
Your buddy lost his job because of affirmative action.
The economy is down because of affirmative action.
Got no substantial evidence for your claims? .....affirmative action

Cool story bro...

Of course - he voted "present" 170 times as an Ill Senator and had no noteworthy acts as a U.S. Senator, and not a scrap of real-world experience except as being a rabble-rouser for a now-discredited shake down organization (Acorn), plus a very dubious past including drug use and association with known terrorists and members of organized crime, but was given a complete "pass".

Why was that?

Brilliance? Have you listened to this pant load speak without his "idiot boards"? Rambles and babbles like a buffoon.

Honest? Seems like he has reneged on so many campaign promises that the left is calling him a Republican.

By "my buddy", I assume you are referring to Bush. No, President Bush, and the polls that show how many Americans would be ecstatic to have him back are staggering, was termed-out by the 2-term limit (something BO won't have to worry about).

His wife has such an important that that after she left, they disestablished the job. It was political "tribute' and nothing more.

Face, it, he is a farce, an international laughing stock, who gets walked-on like a boot-brush/door mat combination by every one of the world leaders he has dealt with.

But you keep those pom poms in your hand and keep shouting Ra Ra Ra, Sis Boom Bah while pumping those pom poms.
