Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a poll on CD have almost 450 respondents!

If Mitt Romney had won in 2012, history would have remembered him for these three things:

Extending Bush's ridiculous tax cuts
Allowing trillions to be spent on two useless wars
Passing a thoroughly Republican inspired healthcare reform

Instead, the President who actually did those things will be remembered for:

The color of his skin

I think that statement has been proven to be wrong. All of those with their law degrees and Harvard sheepskins never saw Trump coming! The deplorables did; the IQ testing must be flawed!

Arpaio is a hero. He was tough on a lot of the really bad felons. His toughness on crime probably saved a lot of lives by deterring crimes that otherwise would have been committed.
You got that right.

Obviously something must be flawed when an absolute crotch-grabbing perverted idiot can win the presidency!

Yes! Indeed the "Deplorables" won the election, but they lost American dignity along with the rest of us...

I rank FDR with Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, Nixon and Carter. He was unwilling to use considerable political capital to get us into WW II earlier, to rescue or even allow Jews into the U.S., etc. He was also a socialist at heart, but knew his political limits. In a bad way.

As far as FDR's political limits; did they not try to impeach him because he wanted to side/aid Great Britain? Many did not want us to go to war at that time; some were even sympathetic with the Nazis. It is very hard to rewrite history. It is possible that had he pushed to hard and too fast; that the outcome could have been different. Even Winston Churchill had an uphill battle trying to get Great Britain into the war.

I am not trying to make excuses for him; many of our Presidents did not look as great under the microscope. Probably because they were politicians!

That's it.

Obama was elected because of the color of his skin. In fact, if it wasn't for his complexion, he never would have made it out of the Democrat primaries in 2008. Actually, he would have exited early in the primary process, if he had run. But if he was not a pretty black man, he would not have run, because he would not have been the Senator from Illinois, and nobody would have ever heard of him.

A person who votes for someone because of their skin color, is a ____.

Fill in the blank. You know the word. I will give you a hint. It begins with an "R".

If you voted for Obama because of his skin color, that is what you are.

And if you think that people are somehow exempt from being that, because of their race, then that is very certainly what you are, hands-down, case-closed. No exceptions.

Tens of millions of racists put this man in office. Obama's legacy will be his race - and that's it. The legacy of most of his supporters - many tens of millions of them - will be their racism.
