He still maintains that the president has turned us into a communist country, although I found it best to not press him for details, since he can be rather vague.
I don't agree with his choice of language, but I do agree with his opinion. There won't be another Black President for at least 20-30 years. I'd put some money on that.

Hindsight 20/20 is bound to be quite interesting coming from the First Black President, One Termer, and Worst President in post-War history.
To be honest, I really couldn't care less what regrets Obama the Destroyer has pre, during or post his throttling of the USA with his disgraceful policies.

Wow, so his race has something to do with his job performance? I don't ever see a republican winning a general election when they have people like you in their base.

I'm just being logical. Racial politics are alive and well in this country. That goes for both sides of the political aisle. This President has done nothing to help race relations, that's for sure. No need to candy-coat it.

As a liberal, I wish democrats would grow some balls. Republicans make decisions and fight for what they want, even if it's wrong. I understand being diplomatic, but when your enemy doesn't want diplomacy, it's time to fight fire with fire. I really wish Obama would tell republicans to be quiet and do his thing, but he's going to regret caving to so many demands from the GOP.

Agreed. He should've adopted that strategy from day one.

As the old saying goes:

Never bite the hand that feeds you..

obama/Democrats loose the election and their welfare and government handouts will probably get cut back, I'm sure they'll turn out in force.

Me thinks you just don't like the unsavory task of tearing this president apart for the benefit of discussion.
Obama has made plenty of mistakes. As to which one he will regret the most, I haven't the foggiest. The funny thing is, a person makes campaign promises going into the office of the Presidency, then they get in and get briefed. Who knows what they learn? Maybe that's why Gitmo wasn't closed. I dunno. But tearing him apart on a "Gee, maybe this or maybe that." It all depends on his feelings. And I can't speculate on someone's feelings.

Here....Politifact lists his broken promises. I don't even have to type out his failures. They've done it for me.

This.

People act as if Obama's actions are limited to one person, or even one party.

When Republicans are just as idiotic about the "THE SKY IS FALLING AND IT'S THE FAULT OF THOSE DANGED PINKO COMMIES" blame game.
