In this country, blacks and whites think they're the ONLY two races here. I doubt that would do much...

Trust me there are a million other reasons to think he's an idiot, and being black isn't one of them so you can't call me racist.
Uh- you went from his name to his race in a single sentence. What does that say about you? Do you think only black people have Muslim names? That's a racist thought, you know...

Won't happen again, though. He blew it, and we all know it.
But go ahead and throw out the race card, we're all used to that.
Except that the country is neither 90% white or 79% Republican. Who's throwing out the race card now?

Name doesn't mean a thing. Obama supposedly went to a Christian Church.. it does not have the message of of the bible. Instead it is preached to fit what the Black Liberation Theology message is.. The bible is second and Black Liberation Theology is first.

They take the words out of the bible and twist it to fit their first beliefs which is first the oppression by the evil rich whites and their battle not for brotherhood of all races but for separation of the races and resentment and hate of ALL white people.

So name only does not make what it is, one has to look deeper.

Only if he were a big government socialist.

The GOP has found Alan Keyes, Herman Cain, and they were 100% black and descended from slaves, very unlike Obama but the liberals aren't going to vote for a conservative -- not even if he or she were a Martian.

A rose by any other name is still a Rose. Same with Obama.

It doesn't matter to most. Name, race...etc If any of it did he wouldn't have been elected in the first place. We've already had a white, apple pie, peanut farming southern native with basically the same ideals as Obama; boy is he glad that he's no longer the worst president in modern history.

Yeah sure, I'm am positive that if his name was Bob, that the unemployment rate would be 6% and the debt would be only $12 trillion, and he never would have allowed secret, closed door meetings and rammed 0bamacare down our throats, or launched a unilateral war against Libya.

No, it was actually two very different sentences which made perfect sense if you had any ounce of comprehension.
