White guilt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Do you feel that "white guilt" lead to Obama being elected regardless of his limited experience in National politics?

I believe that "white guilt" was invented by the neurotic leftists apologists in the US. The left elected Obama.

He was elected because america absolutely had it with bush and the republican's horrific job while in power. Anyone with a D next to their name would have gotten elected.

No, it was 8 years of Bush and a weak opponent that got Obama elected. Republicans can only blame themselves.

Obama turned out to be the biggest liar in the history of American politics. There were many who voted for him simply because of his skin color but most that voted for him believed he was going to be a hip, cool, post-partisan president and bring the country together. Of course, his true color has been revealed and he's the exact opposite of what he claimed to be like we tried to warn the dumb and foolish, some of whom still support this clown.

I tend to think it was because he was not Hillary and then not Grumpy McCain

No. Where were you during the campaign season?

White guilt, no.
Young, impressionable voters lured by the cult of personality, yes.
Strong black voter turn out supporting a candidate with the same skin color, yes.

True but many independents and some truly brain dead Republicans voted for him as well. I just find it hard to believe that all the "Hope & Change" rhetoric was responsible for his election.
