His skin color is why he got elected.
His pathetic resume wouldn't get him the POTUS nominee from the Democraps if he was white.
A white nobody Senator with no big legislation to his name, no documented papers while teaching college in addition to his short time in DC would be laughed at if he was some white guy from Illinois.
That is not quite fair. You have to give the dude credit - he is peerless reading a teleprompter, loaded with words written by people far smarter and far more grossly underpaid then Obama.
Just in case (remote possibility) that the words that captured the imagination of the simple minded, you know "there is no red state, blue state, only United States" were his own, so what?
Simple jingle-like nonsense always captures the simple mind. If there is an inane rhyme nested somewhere in the entire inane quote, it's even better:
"If the glove don't fit, you must acquit" and the jury of nine blacks did.
"Don't end it, mend it" Jesse Jackson on behalf of freeloading welfare recipients.
There are a lots more, but you get my drift.
The fountainhead of similarly inane and stupid quotes is to be found under Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan and Barak Obama. Or any and all "personalities" on MSNBC.
Obama's two books written by who knows who, is a true treasure house.
