My thoughts exactly.
No fuckwit, your racist thread is about this:
"Has the Failure of the Obama Administration ruined the Chances for Black Candidates"
And, using history as a guide, has the failures of other Presidents ruined it for candidates who share their other skin color? Obviously not since we repeated the "mistake" of electing other white folks 43 times; through the trail of tears to the league of nations to the internment camps to the Bay of Pigs to the Watergate scandals....yup; we've repeated the mistake of electing other white folks.
And once the mis-steps of the past are brought up, you don't want to talk about the failures of white Presidents; ONLY THE BLACK ONE. I understand you can't help it. Racism was probably born into you at an early age and you are comfortable with your ignorance, your petty color-first mentality, and you like to see your ignorance and hate somehow legitimized by Obama not being perfect.
Sad little person you are.
There we go, Candycorn! Much better! Obama was important historically for the nation because it was a proving ground for a black president! When he was first elected, not only was America overjoyed at the thought of the first black president, but if you recall, it was global euphoria! I got caught up into it, too!
The first real book I read as a child was
The Man by Irving Wallace about the first black president. I loved it. It was about the ordeals he had to overcome, working with an unsure Congress and country. He became the best president we ever had. I based Obama's future on that book.
The first mistakes were overlooked as rookie mistakes but then red flags began to appear. He returned the bust of Winston Churchill, was rude to the British prime minister and his wife when they came for a visit (no state dinner, didn't even eat dinner with them!) then the relations with Israel were intentionally cut off. Our allies were lost. Poland was gone, lesser countries were mocking us.
You admit he has made mistakes. All presidents do. But when your best allies that you had for decades no longer take your calls, something is wrong.
A racist? Hardly. I wanted him to be a success. I just hope that his failures are considered the failures of this particular person and not to be construed that would happen with another person of color. If another person of color should be considered for POTUS, his background should be highly scrutinized.
