I'm going state the obvious here: Barack Hussein Obama is our president because of his race. Not because of anything else. I know far too many people that voted FOR Obama strictly on the basis of his racial status.
Some of us expect the election process to be one that is above the superficial posturing and gestures. I am not implying Obama did anything wrong or illegal. But many folks feel that the political process was misused to Obama’s benefit. Simply put, some of us feel that Obama isn’t a legitimate president. This taints his presidency. I remember how for years after G.W. Bush’s election in 2000, the taint that hung like a chad over his presidency because of the mess in Florida. Yes, these “birher” folks are really pushing credibility to find a reason to remove Obama. It’s a deep sign of disaffection with the political process, not racism. This president is a token, superficial gesture to political correctness. It’s easy to blow off the Tea party people as loony racists, but there is more to this picture that some people want to see.
So according to YOU, Obama is illegitimate because "too many people voted for Obama strictly on the basis of his racial status".....and that is some outlandish justification for the root cause of birthers and teabaggers angst.
Give me a fucking break, SW2SILVER.
The MAJORITY vote from Black AND WHITE Americans got Obama in office because both parties weren't going to put up with another 4 years of Reaganomics on steroids, or a lame version of the Shrub's administration peddling out PNAC policies. Yes, I'm sure there were a lot of people, black people in particular, that voted for the man because of his physical/racial make-up. But if that is indeed the case, that one note vote would have carried over to the 2010 elections, and clearly it didn't.
What YOU don't want to see in this picture is the FACT that teabaggers, oathers, birthers, neocons, threepers and whatever other right wingnut off-shoot you can name are just too damned stubborn to admit that the people who screwed them over are NOT the Dems, the Liberals or the black man in the Oval Office.....as none of the three I just mentioned were the main players/instigators in the S&L scandal, Enron, or the Wall St./mortgage bank debacle.
