Oh god, then I read the thread. Yes, this forum is pure poop now. Somebody should close it down. It was good once but it isn't anymore and it's not likely to be ever again. I'd recommend just banning political discussion anywhere on the site. The trolls have won, there's no good conversation left to be had here anymore. It's a shame. And Refman, shame on you too for acting like the vitriol against Obama is usual. You're not a dummy and you know that no president in our nation's history has been subject to such questions about his citizenship, his religion, his allegiance to the country, nor has any president been required to get 60 votes to pass anything in the Senate. I don't say that's because he's black but it's never happened with a white president. And you know it.
IMO there is a higher level of racism against him than any other President, but the racism is nowhere near being the only reason he is criticized.
This is demonstrably false. I am not a known plagiarist. And unlike basso I actually post what I believe to be the truth. Do I support the president? You bet! But I am not a habitual liar and distorter of truth. I await your apology [edit] thank you Batman. I did not see your post before I posted.
lol awesome thread brah it's not because he's the nation's first half white president, but rather he was unfit to take the job in the first place, and has been a complete failure since taking office.
It is posts and people such as this that give the OP the impression he has about the Obama haters. When people make posts such as this that completely flies in the face of reality and facts, one can only assume there are other motives for their hate.
Please explain how directing America out of the greatest financial crisis since the 1930s (caused by atrocious private market failure) is "failure".
I find your position fascinating and would like to hear more about your opinion on welfare, immigration, foreign policy, and Obama's thinly veiled socialist agenda. I find your candor refreshing a midst those here who hide their true feelings.
Republicans don't hate Obama because he's black. Republicans hate Obama because they are used to their black people serving them dinner while wearing white jackets and white gloves. Since Obama is not serving them dinner, Republicans are confused. Often times, when someone is confused about someone, the confusion turns to hatred because they don't know how else to react.
