Don't think scared is the word......

Hillary would be no better for America, I think she'll make it even worse.

Agreed, and that poster was speaking to me. Actually, if gmagoo has some time, they can go back and look at all my posts preaching unity.

And I wonder if gmagoo has ever imaginged that someone voted for Obama ONLY because of his race which would be just as bad as not voting for him based on his race.

It is far better to vote on someone's level of competence and since Obama's experience was next to nothing when he got elected and he has been nothing but a dire disaster since taking office, I am sticking to what I believe.

Let's not rewrite history here. Yes. He held the elections on different days in order to not deflect from his own race against Buono. But remember, the dems BEGGED booker to run for Governor, but Booker declined because he knew he couldn't beat Christie. Senator is Booker's consolation prize.

The next president certainly will not be able to blame Obama for the disaster he has left him/her, as such an acknowledgement of reality would be considered "racist" by today's standards. This has been part of the problem with Obama. Few, if any, in his own party will question or criticize his views (regardless of how idiotic they might be), as they are trapped in the box of political correctness (designed to deter opposition statements) which has prevented them from guiding the Emperor in any fashion. One does not question or alter the plans of the current president, as to do so would be "racist". Every liberal has been conditioned to know and accept that, thus the uncomfortable position that nearly every senate and congressional democrat is in- blindly passing Obamacare and failure to alter it in any way six weeks ago. As a result, they now OWN this disaster of a piece of legislation. There are no republican fingerprints on Obamacare at all.

So........................ the next POTUS, even if marginally competent, will look outstanding. I do wonder, however, if Obama has ruined the chances of any other potentional black presidential candidates for a generation. Not being able to question the policies or views of a POTUS can be very disasterous, as we are seeing now.

We will be scared if she wins and turns the country European.

Sacre Bleu! The U.S. Economy Is Turning European - Businessweek

The U.S. economy is getting as bad as Europe at bouncing back from recessions and generating jobs, and a decrease in societal trust may be a big factor, according to a research paper presented today at the Brookings Institution.

The paper is called “Amerisclerosis? The Puzzle of Rising U.S. Unemployment Persistence,” and it’s by Olivier Coibion of the University of Texas at Austin and Yuriy Gorodnichenko and Dmitri Koustas of the University of California at Berkeley.

Amerisclerosis is the economic version of atherosclerosis, also known as hardening of the arteries—a disease that contributes to heart attacks and strokes. In the 1980s, economists coined the term Eurosclerosis to describe Europe’s malfunctioning jobs market. The U.S. is going the same direction, the authors say.

Wow... stereotype much?

For the record, I'm a white woman in an ethnically diverse and predominantly left-leaning region - yet don't recall ever experiencing these generalizations of which you speak. I seriously have to wonder where you learn this crap.

Outside of Christie, there is no chance at all the GOP nominee could win. CC would be an underdog vs HC, but he wouldn't be the cannon fodder any other Repub would be.

I'm surprised the OP looks forward with such glee to the next likely POTUS, Hillary Clinton.
