Like I said before. You're obviously a rationale, logical person. You're the outlier among your peers. All you're doing is calling me out for pointing out the absurdity of your peers. It would be a better use of your energy to call out the ones dragging your party's credibility into the ditches, not me.

I think many people will vote against Obama because he's black. I think more people will vote for him BECAUSE he's black.

I'll vote against him because he's destroying our country.

But your voting for someone who doesn't have your best interest in mind? Get your information with facts and look at the good he has done and form your own opinion.

Are there any positives coming from Obama that has helped or country?

Obama is killing this country with his green agenda.. gas high, food high.. Obama doesn't care about the poor , black or white.

Obama is such a bad president I wish he wasn't black.. And because he is black,I wish he had been a great president but he isn't.. He is so far left he is a socialist marxist. His spread the wealth around, killing jobs, killing the Keystone pipeline. Throwing money away on his stupid green agenda that does not fly. We need jobs.

If Obama was really a good president he would leave his stupid ideology behind and create jobs where ever he could.. Obama because we are in such bad shape could have done so much more .He could have been a hero instead of a zero..

He could have brought the country together. He hasn't. Obama failed the people with his ideas, not putting the people first but his own selfish ideas into motion and they went nowhere! And always playing the blame game.. He is no leader to make us ONE NATION .

I voted for him in 2008 and will vote again for him this year. I was happy to be able to vote for a black person for president and I'm proud of the United States for coming so far in its race relations that a black man has been elected president and stands a good chance of being re-elected. But, in 2008 I would have voted for anyone other than McCain, because I didn't like how he cozied up to the religious right and was appalled at the thought of Sarah Palin as VP. This year, although the recovery has been slow, things are getting better and I want them to keep getting better, so I'm going to vote for Obama again. Also, I truly believe that Romney is so disconnected from the middle class and the poor that he can't possibly make good decision on behalf of all Americans.
Don't believe that the economy is better. That is a lie. Foreclosures are coming in hundreds of thousands again. Trulia on the net lists the foreclosures and in Orlando there are now 14 thousand foreclosures on the market. This has been going on for 4 years and it is getting worse not better. Mortgage rates are at an all time low because there is so much inventory of foreclosures that have to move. If you looked on the net and really saw what is going on , I doubt you would believe Obama anymore. He is a job killer and millons of unemployed people are losing their homes all across this country.

Logic and the number of blacks who supported Obama in 2008.

How do you know this? How do you know I don't know my facts? Just because you don't like what I said, doesn't mean I don't know my facts.

I do not for a second believe Obama has my best interests in mind and definitely not my children's best interests.
