Funny how readily the populace entrusted Bush's eight years of ignorance yet with only four years we criticize Obama. Obama in his inaugural speech even indicated that he will not accomplish all he set out to accomplish. No president can immediately change 8 years of policy.
First and for most let's get something clear. People primarily criticize Obama for:
1) Being black
2) Having "Hussein" as a middle name
3) Having a father of African descent
4)For being intelligent
5) Did I mention because he was black.
The credibility of anyone who is hard pressed to criticize Obama is not as easily legitimate since its already understood that any criticism that Obama receives is along the lines of race. Heck, during his first presidential race he was called an "arab" mistaken as "Osama" his citizenship was questioned, his religion. Not other president in U.S history endured such in-depth critique except him. His predecessor George Bush dodged thr draft, couldn't even open the door after a press conference, put us in two wars and has totally eradicted any support for potential allies.
Obama is a millionare (and yes even his wealth is of scrutiny) but between him and Romney I would certaintly choose Obama all day.
'Being black' was the one thing I was happy about in the 2008 election of Obama.
Though Hussien is AN unfortunate name it hardly matters when it comes to running a country.
Would a father of American descent have made him any more effectual as president? Not really. Again another non-issue.
For being intelligent. Wow, you'll have to break that down for me because 'intelligent ' doesn't necessarily mean 'competent'.
Yes you mentioned he was black which seems to be about the only sensible statement you've made here. If I were you I too would hammer that home.
You forgot one point while you were ticking off your fantasies. Obama is a lousy president. Nothing can change that.
Well first and foremost Obama's ethnicity was an issue. Case in point, you just confirmed it with the first sentence of your response. As an African-American, although I was happy I got this far, I for that moment bought into the "change" slogan forgoing the belief that Obama was a politician.
As far as the meaning of intelligence is concerned as you can see Obama is thought to be incompetent due to his ethnicity. All these slurs incognito made by political analyst such as "angry" etc have racial undertones.
A huge example is the calling of Obama's college transcripts. Really? His college transcripts to prove his citizenship? Really? What about Bush? Bush was demonstrably the dumbest president in U.S history and your asking for Obama's college transcripts? Oh his middle name is Hussein and by default he is Muslim. The fact that American people bought into this yet didn't have the guts to queation Bush's competency makes me lose hope in the average common intelligence of the American population.
Here my fellow U.S citizens are calling Obama a one term president yet we re-elected Bush for two terms who gave us two wars, put us in a recession, lowered taxes fot the rich, yet we are criticizing Obama. You guys wanted miracles and Romney doesnt provide that.
Until someone can actually prove otherwise (I mean serious proof) all this criticism of Obama has to do with the fact that many people just don't want a man of color in office. I mean FFS what president had to show his birth certificate to prove he was a citizen? Who had to go through that? How does Hussein equate to being Muslim? My point is all this Obama criticism is nil to me because all I see are people buying into Republican rightwing racism.
Obama is a politician. Their job is to promise you the world but at the end of the day they have to cater to those special interest groups that donated millions of dollars. The fact that you would want to vote for rich boy Romney who basically said fuck you to the middle and lower class is sad. You'd rather votr for a guy who doesn't give a shit about college kids who are struggling and people who are out of work and no medical coverage.
Like I said I lost hope for the average U.S citizen's intelligence especially when people:
1) Refer to the reform healthcare act (coined by republicans) as Obamacare which is not its name
2) Would rather vote in a guy who was a rich boy who had an inheretence from his father, never knowing what its like being broke and hungry.
3) Have issues with Obama's middle name even though its common in the urban community that African/Americans have Holy Islamic names.
4)Expected Obama to turn around eight years of disaster.
