Repeat after Repeat thread, you seemed to have gotten your marching orders later than the others, maybe you should get in touch with right-wing central and have them correct that problem.
Apples to Apples.
Let's compare first world nations only.
If we do that we will find the number of US people who have a substantially better lifestyle is a very small amount compared to the population. ie. "the 1%"
He was elected because the McCain/ Palin ticket was unpopular.
I think it was intentional. The GOP did not want to win in 2008. It was safer to sit back and blame.
His approval ratings plummet, yet the country is recovering.
I'll take results over right-wing induced rage any day.
Despite the robust economy of the 50's, a result of being the only functioning country within the first world, there were 2 recessions and 20% of the US people lived in dire poverty and if polled would have likely said the Great Depression never ended.

What is important to me maynot be to others. For example I do not care about square footage.
I care about affordable but viable healthcare food and travel.
What I would like to show you is a dictionary. Liberalism is the opposite of fascism. Fascism is associated with the right wing. Hitler and Mussolini were not liberals.
And as anyone with half a brain knows the dictionary definition of liberalism has absolutely nothing to do with modern American liberals. The authors of the Constitution and the Federalist Papers were classical liberals who have nothing in common with modern liberals.
FASCISM
1
often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
Sounds like the Obama administration. Ruling by executive order, "you didn't build that".
strict gun control
separated church and state to marginalize religion’s influence
extolled public education, even banning private schools and instituting “a fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program”
The State is to care for elevating national health.”
“No one shall go hungry! No one shall be cold!”
distrusted markets and abused property rights
Working for personal ends instead of the collective was criminal
Oh sorry, those aren't Obama, those are all things the Nazis pushed for. Hitler was a dead ringer for a modern liberal. Obama, Hitler, And Exploding The Biggest Lie In History - Forbes

Why does Obama have an approval rating of 85% of Black people, but 31% of non-blacks?
Obama's win was partially because of his race, he is a minority, and obviously the majority of the people who were his race, voted for in favor of him. Please do not tell me not to complain about this being about race, you cannot deny that race was a factor towards his win.
Btw, I am a Hispanic, and I've asked many (Hispanics) this question, "Would you vote for someone who is a Hispanic, as opposed to any other race" and not surprisingly about 90% of the people I asked said yes...
The ones who said yes, found the party that the individual was associated with "irrelevant". Actually the immigration topic would also play a role to what individual the person I asked, would vote for... but the mentality is if you vote for someone that is your ethnicity/race, they are "obviously" on your side...
Is race a factor when a white president wins? Why the double standard. The fact is most of AA's are democrats. Were they proud of an AA running...absolutely. But had he been a republican I don't he would have won their vote.

Depends upon the rhetoric used. It always does. Most voters prefer to let their party of choice do the thinking for them. However, we have seen the videos where reporters intentionally switched promises and black people polled still agreed with Obama even when Romney's platform was substituted for Obama's. LOL the same was true of a bunch of white people who supported Obama were asked the same questions. They only heard Obama and they backed it.
We get what we elect. Boehner, Pelosi, Boxer, Reid, Obama etc. Hard core liars one and all.
