This Democrat thinks he can win in 2016 as the anti-Obama

[We Keep Receipts 9,238]

We disagree with Obama only because he is black, He only gets criticized because he is black. No other President ever has been criticized like Obama, and it's only because he is 1/2 black

If he was white, we would not be upset about him spending like a drunk sailor on pay day on his first 90 day liberty.

Get with the program

If was 100% white instead of 50% we would have on our Obama shirts.

No one outside of the 13% black population in this country voted for him because they are all racist.

If he was white, there would be no birthers

If he was white, he would get some credit instead of none

If he was white they wouldn't attack every single member of his family alive or dead

If he was white, the tea party wouldn't have a single politician you could name

All true.

All true.

And it all explains why AA turnout was through the roof in 2012.

Yes, they were pizzed off. And rightfully so.

You disappoint me, brother.

You disappoint me, brother.

Let me break it down for you:

Birthers: Look at Mccain and Ted Cruz. Both have had issues on where they were born. The issues were handled quietly and properly. The man holding the highest political office in the free world was forced to release his birth certificate and it still didn't quell the noise. It's hounding him to this day.

Credit: Every single thing he has ever done right(OBL, Obamacare, DREAM, jobs, etc) has been either credited to someone else, or is jacked up no matter what. He holds the title of worst president ever, even though he took over from what used to be called the worst ever. And what's funny is, even though Bush spun us into this debt, Obama STILL gets the blame for that.

Family: I remember Bush's daughters vaguely, only because one got into trouble for drinking and driving. Sasha and Malia? They get called stupid for making duck faces on Instagram. Obama's grand mother was used by a major outlet to diss him even though she was dead at the time. http://www.forbes.com/sites/frederickallen/2012/10/04/kitchenaid-attacks-obamas-grandmother-then-apologizes/ His wife tried to talk about fitness and education, yet she gets attacked at every turn.

Tea Party: I challenge you, name me one politician who joined them back in 2006. Because they've been around that long. Yet, when we were in the darkest part of the recession(2008) where were they? Not one protest. No one member of either side was with them. Bush was called a joke, but not one Dem or Repub was part of the Tea Party. 2009? Their first rally was one month after Obama took office. And quite a few GOP jumped on the bandwagon.

To say that all the flack Obama gets has nothing to do with his race is wrong. He might make mistakes, but so has every other president. But as MBD says, it's like nothing existed before him.

The chance that a democrat, any democrat, will sit in office after the next elections is slim to none if you ask me.

The Republican party has a serious problem, it is divided against itself. In order to win the Republican nomination one has to prove that they are Conservative enough to the hard line constituents of the party to get their backing. Unfortunately being that conservative is no longer what the majority of the US wants in a President and it will not win you a nationwide election.

Until the Republicans pick a direction and stick with it, I don't see a win in a nationwide election anytime soon. Barring a complete meltdown by the Democrats, I don't see a Republican winning the Presidency in 2016.

Depends on who's running the race. If the GOP could have found someone that didn't offend 47% of the entire country, they might have had a shot. But every single candidate they could muster had an issue with a demographic. Romney pitched his campaign to rich, older, white, hetereosexual men. He didn't care about anyone else. Which is why the hispanic, asian, gay and lesbian, and white people who are on government assistance rallied against him. If it's going to be more of the same from them, the outcome won't change.

I think to say that the heat Obama gets is only because he is black is absolutely insane. Are there racist people that hate him for that? Sure, but for the majority it has nothing to do with that. Funny thing is my wife has a black ex husband and two kids from two different black men(including one who lives with us right now) and stupid people still call her racist every time she speaks her mind about Obama.

As to the elections, I'll stick to my guns about that. One of the reasons I believe that(although not the only one) is that like I wrote in a different thread not that long ago I do not believe the current economic progress will continue in the next few years(to put it lightly) and right or wrong - the democrats will get the heat for it which can significantly hurt them.

What does the bolded part have to do with our discussion? I've said time and time agin, if you don't agree with his policies, that's on you. If you feel the need to bash him when we're talking about soy beans, you're suspect. He's made mistakes, but what president hasn't? Not everything is racist, but the birther movement? What do you think?

[OriZ 3,157]

It has alot to do with it. It means she's obviously not racist. So her not agreeing with Obama doesn't make her racist, yet there are many delusional people who immediately yell racist at anyone who doesn't agree with him, including her. It's insane.

I thought the birther movement was kinda silly, personally.

I also don't see a problem with someone who wasn't born in the US being the president to start with.

This isn't directed at you or your wife. It's not an indicator of someone not being racist. I've met plenty of women who date black men, who refused to take them home to meet their parents, who wouldn't marry one because they didn't have to have bi-racial children, who only see the physical, and nothing more.

The birther movement is steeped in racism. It's sole goal is going after Obama because they can't believe a black man runs the country. It's the reason why when I see bumper stickers that say take our country back, it makes me wonder.

When Arnold wanted to run, folks wanted to make this happen. Just depends on who is in the race.

Having family members of another race is not going to help you. i already tried.

Despite marrying a person of another race and having dated out of my race many times and supporting Herman Cain for president.

I don't like Obama,, I am a racist.

Now get the to diversity training and be ashamed

I think the great majority of your assumptions are just that. Assumptions.

The equation is not "If not like Obama = Racist"
