And so what does THAT have to do with "race"?

You said they're polarized along party lines....

BTW, there is no proof that skin color makes a good or a bad president. The man happens to be horrible at it. I'm pretty sure that it has nothing to do with his skin color.

the race card gets thrown so often by leftists on this forum that it's getting as transparent as a single-ply kleenex.

Go from there.


Seriously, I should ask that why, to this day so many Whites still can't accept Clearence Thomas??? Is it him being Black???
Most of the whites that can't accept Clarence Thomas are white liberals. Look at how they treat Hermain Cain, and conservative women. They have tolerance and love for those minorities and women who stay on the Democrat Plantation but cry foul and death for those that dare to leave the plantation

My sister has been accused of harboring racist views by another moonbat because she had the brains to vote for McCain in 2008. Can't expect nothing else from fringe leftist loons

Not really. Clinton had the gift of being able to compromise and knowing when to do so. Gingrich had tighter control of the House Republicans than Boehner does.

What you seem to have ignored is that the Democrats controlled the House during Clinton's first term.

Why do you say he is black when his mother is white?

Right, and his second term is when the republicans took control held it thru bush's two terms and then went back to dem with Obama for a very short time... and back to repub.

Congress works better with a republican majority.

Although dems controlled the house from 1955 until 1995.

Even Reagan had to appeal to the Democrat majority during both of his terms. I think Reagan compromised more than Obama will.

Obama is the king of the blame game. I have never heard anyone blame others more than Obama. Ever.

So true, being I live in SC, I get the typical "Southerners hate Blacks, etc." routine by my friends in the Northeast - but when I ask them about forced busing, NINA, or maybe they should talk to Bill Russell/Jim Rice/Paul Pierce (or a host of other Black athletes who played in Boston sometime) - somehow that is "different".

Which is funny, since I lived in the Northeast for over 20 years - so that BS doesn't fly!

This is the dumbest thing I have read all day. Let's stop playing the race card okay. Maybe Obama is a bit RADICAL for the republicans. Obama refuses to compromise and would rather Congress not exist so he could be a dictator. Clinton compromised and passed WELFARE REFORM in 1996. Remember???
