We elected one radical pos simply because he was black & it was "time"
Are we now gonna do it again because it is "time" for a woman?
The fact that Obama is now polling worse than the supposed worst president in history shows that the remorse is there.
Question is, WAS THE LESSON LEARNED?
Wait....you are asserting that President Obama was elected (TWICE) simply because he's black?
Yes
Doesn't work.
In the 2008 election, we've never had a black president before. In the 2012 election, that's no longer the case.
And as already noted, the country was in economic freefall in '08, which is more than enough to expect a vote against the status quo. Then you throw in Sarah Palin. An amoeba could have won in that circumstance.
LOL
Of course it works. He was elected BOTH times because of the color of his skin. White guilt along with all the NEW racist voters that registered to vote for the first time in their lives simply because a black man was running. Those same racist voters flocked to the polls the second time.
Yanno, it takes a special kind of ... what shall we call it,
rationalization to put it generously, to on one hand declare "I'm not against O'bama because he's black, I'm against him on policy!" --- and then turn around and in the next breath declare "he only won because he's black!", completely ignoring the elephant-in-the-room economic Plummet of September 2008. A "special" kind indeed.
As to your economic point, well that is just asinine. If someone would have been elected for economic reasons it would have been the man who actually had experience in economics and business not some fucking radical whos only experience was rabble rousing for profit.
Yeah? When did that ever happen? How'd Hoover do in 1932? And what sort of "experience in economics and business" does John McCain have, other than scandal?
Obama had NO FUCKING EXPERIENCE AT ANYTHING. And your personal opinion of Palin, stupid as it is, is not relevant to this discussion.
Actually he had more time in state government and Congress than Bush had in a governorship, and WAY more than Romney. You could look it up. But again, it takes a "special" kind of rationalization to whine the blues about public opinion of Sarah Palin being "irrelevant" -- who was after all running for VP with a septuagenarian cancer survivor -- while simultaneously spewing the same kind of "irrelevant" opinion of O'bama. Let alone being entirely ignorant of his background.
But we did that....
