He said that Obama got a "tremendous benefit" from social programs for blacks, and that Obama's goal is to "create dependency" because "it worked so well for him".

I think whites have been getting "special rights and privileges" for several centuries.

Do you agree?

It's become so longstanding that it's taken for granted.

Of course they do, how can anyone deny what Sen. Coburn said is true?

Just look at all of the untalented white people at your workplace in high positions. It's not because that they were smarter. It's that they got a slew of leg-ups in their careers. How did George W Bush get to be POTUS? Somebody of his low caliber in a nonwhite body would have just been a very average person in life.

Obama's election as POTUS pretty much blows your entire premise out of the water.

See here, it was Bush that got us into 2 unending wars, an unfunded Medicare Part D, Wall St fiasco, mortgage mess. It's going to take longer than 3 years to fix all of that. It's what happens when ppl elect a retard.

And Obama has done nothing but make all those situations worse while starting additional wars and creating more debt. This is what happens when you elect an unqualified retard to clean up after a retard.

If I were Obama, I'd be praying for a good war about now. It would make him a shoe-in "War President" and help build up the economy the way that WW2 saved us from the Depression. I don't know that Obama is all that, but he was the best option that we had for the country at the time. I don't think that any of the other candidates would have done any better.
