You are right, KBP, I voted for McCain, because it would only be one term. He would not have rushed things through, even though he preached the same message as Obama, on the campaign trail. I figured, that between them McCain would do less damage to the country then Obama. Furthermore, KBP, you are wrong about all the white people that voted against Obama, are showing racism. They still cry racism, when you disagree with his policies and his agenda. The MSM did that throughtout his campaign, if you disagree with Obama you are a racist. Even McCain fell into that trap. I would support anyone for POTUS, if he smart enough to do the job, but what has Obama showed us? Nothing, no school records, whatsoever. If you were to hire someone to work for you, wouldn't you ask them for their credentials? If a company was to hire a new CEO, would the board of directors want to see his school records? Obama is an empty suit, with no credentials, to run a fast food restaurant and now he is POTUS. He can't even talk to the public without his TOTUS. The media told us that if we voted against Obama we were racist, I didn't. |

IMO 0bama was never considered as presidential material. He was considered a Senator who had community organizational skills and some dreams about Amercia that the people were willing to listen to. He had some color in his skin that the media keep talking about in order to make sure they were more than fair in their coverage that also included a female. Which would you chose in a primary race to praise more? A white/black heritage or a woman with a husband that was already president. Of course the media would make sure that 0bama was treated as presidential material. That become too obvious when the press kept saying that Palin was not VP material because of her lack of experience. The press had to convince only some of white voting America that 0bama, with a mentally incompetent running mate, was better than an old war hero with a woman from Alaska. They did a superb job in anointing the one. 0bama won not because he was anywhere near presidential material. He won because he had the press on his side, had a well organized e-mail and internet campaign, brought the minority neighborhoods to the forefront as new voters and stood tall with false confidence as people looked him over. As 0bama continuously reminds us, "I WON". That statement alone emphasizes his lack of confidence in running something as diverse and complicated and compromising as a country. His I won statement is much better utilized as a neighborhood organizer. That is what he is now and was before. He is the cartoon the press made him and many voters, who are not black, were willing to take him at his word as real. Now.... the noise is abating and soon the silence will be deafening. |

During the primaries when Obama and Hillary were running head to head I recall saying that despite having NEVER voted for a Democrat except for one in a local election, I would be willing to vote for Obama if I felt assured that he would truly be "post racial". By that I mean that Obama would inspired the AAa community to value education, inspire fathers to support their off-spring, inspire parents to become involved in the education of their children, stop whining about life and get on to the business of making one. I was hoping that he of all people could shut down once and for all the race pimps who see all of life's issues through that prism. I honestly thought if we could achieve that through his election then Obama would have served this nation well and America could become all the better for it. His true colors became evident in the general election and his use of racial arguments while couched more elegantly are just as strident as Jackson or Sharpton. |

Great comment TD, I pretty much felt the same way, but he is not what I imagined he would be. Obama is more divisive, then any POTUS, that I have seen in my lifetime. The man is single handidly ripping this great country apart. |

What are you trying to say in that comment KBP? I did post a comment, about your comment, but you didn't answer. Are white people racist or not, simple question? I cannot support Obama's policies, his taxes, his health care, his cap and trade, does that make me a racist? The press would say I am not supporting Obama, therefore, I am a racist. Believe me when I say that anyone, who supports what Obama supports, I will not support. This POTUS, hasn't a clue what he is doing, he is following directions, from his handlers, Axelrod and Emanuelle, perhaps even Bill Ayers. |

I, too, was deceived initially, and I had some hope that the race hustling we had seen in the Duke Lacrosse Hoax would end. Michelle Obama's comment about "being proud of her country" woke me up- like a bucket of cold water- and I started looking more carefully at 0bama. I must confess, I gave his campaign a donation early on.

LEO, Now that I see 2 admit they were persuaded by him early on (thanks for telling the truth you 2!), that "PC ...loaded question" should be clearer. I envision a bit of guilt in the subconscious minds of many that voted for him. Votes given by some because they felt an obligation to provide another step in the 'reparations' the PC constantly remind us we owe ...to heal all wounds. |

I think the debates showed Obama to be a showman without substance. Then what should have been the biggest wake up call of them all, the comment to Joe the Plumber about "spreading the wealth around". I thought that even libs wanted to hang onto the money they earned. I heard some dimwit from Florida on Rush this week say she was more than willing to pay for healthcare for people who could not afford it. Rush ask if she were willing to also buy them a house, a car, etc. There will always be misguided people who confuse their goodwill with common sense. |

Perhaps some think they owe something, I was adopted, was later condemned by my adoptee mother, but still made something of myself. When I applied to be a police officer, my adoptee mother didn't reccommend me, after serving 4 year in the Marines, she didn't even know who I was. Fortunately, the investigators, didn't believe her, my record spoke for itself. Which I can say was more voluminous, then Obama's. I really felt that in 2008 we had a choice between two progressive candidates, I didn't like either. I do remember hearing Obama saying reparations "didn't go far enough". You are absolutely correct about PC, but reparations will not cure any past wounds. Motivating, people to be the best they can be, might be the answer.

Obama never had any credentials. Ever. But the horrible truth is that it never mattered. It never mattered because it was never about Obama in the first place. It was about the media and Leftists. It was all about their ideology which they were desperate to put into practice, to shove down America's throat 'for our own good'. Obama was merely the tool that could make that happen. He was the perfect tool because Obama was the perfect liar. He had no qualifications whatsoever - no 'genius', no work ethic, no skills, brains, experience or talents, none, zip, nada. But what he did, unfortunately, have was the pathological ability to lie effortlessly. Give the Devil it's due, his lying was truly unique - it was lying by way of silence. Obama had and has that unique ability to let other people put their own words into his mouth - in other words, he speaks other people's lies. It's effective because, by repeating their lies, Obama makes them co-conspirators. That is his protection. People will not dare to expose him as a liar because, in so doing, they will expose themselves. Thus, the liar sails through to his goal. And the only goal that Obama the liar has ever wanted was power for himself. And the greatest power of all is the power of the White House. Unfortunately for us, the media and the Leftists were as desperate for that power as he was. He wanted it for his own greed and ambition - they wanted it to instill Marxism upon America. It was the hellish union of a pathological liar meeting a pathological ideology. Hell, they knew he was a Marxist, racist, atheist - but as I keep repeating, it didn't matter. They weren't looking for HIM - they were looking for a tool to shove their ideology down our gullets and Obama was it. It was all about their ideology. The media and Leftists were so sure it would work. Of course, if any of those bozos had ever held a real job, they'd have known it couldn't. But then the sweat of capitalist hard work has never bedewed the delicate brows of the media and the Leftists. The latter have always suckled the tit of grants and sinecures and tenure at the ivory towers of universities, etc. Yup, no ditch digging for those dudes. And of course, the media is the media. 'Nuff said. That isn't to say that we working commoners couldn't have told them the capitalistic truth a year ago but fat chance of that happening. Couric would dropped dead if she'd had to slide her Manolo Blahniks next to one of us at the lunch counter, Olberman would have had a heart attack if he'd been told to cling to the same subway strap as one of us and personally I think they'd have had to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to Maureen Dowd if she'd been ordered to sit next to us in the pews at church. We weren't in their world, we weren't their neighbors, coworkers, friends, etc. ("Nobody I know voted for Nixon!") They had no clue of the real world - and thus there wasn't a stinking canary in sight to chirp warning when the first toxic fumes of 'God DAMN America!' or 'my political mentor is sorry he didn't kill more Americans' or 'I let Chicago's worst slumlord buy my mansion', etc., wafted past their nostrils in 2008. Of course, that's not to say that we commoners didn't chirp at the top of our lungs back then - but a song doesn't go very far when the media turns its mike off. Damn, bet they wish they could shut it off for Obama now. Must be hell watching their 'eloquent Messiah' stutter and stumble and need TWO teleprompters for a roomful of sixth graders, to watch his 'genius' tout a healthcare bill that an idiot could see is a mess, watch his 'political brilliance' torpedo the re-election of every Democrat in Congress, watch his 'post racial' presidency smear a white cop while befriending a black racist Harvard prof or give civil liberties to terrorists, etc. Yeah, they can't turn the son of a bitch off. And the more the public sees him for what he IS instead of what the media said he WAS, the more they ask themselves the same damned question that Joan is now asking. Who the hell ever said this jerk was qualified to be President? |

It was some sort of weird hero worship plus the fact that it would be "cool" to have a young black president, and it would mean we were "post-racial" if we elected him. Somehow we could all hold hands and sing and everything would be okay if we could vote for a young black president. As far as Obama's policies and behavior, etc., I think mostly it simply goes back to what I said early on. He is an idiot. |

Initially, when Obama announced his candidacy - I felt the same way as well. I also thought that, given who the Republicans were running (a poor lot in my book) that an Obama victory would carry behind it enough force that he could serve as an example of the iportance of education, hard work, etc to those African Americans who are so want to play the vicitm card at every opportunity - the fact that he kept both Sharpton and Jackson marginalized was a plus. However, Obama's lack of experience and unwillingness to admit that although he may not have all the answers he was willing to learn, his team's determination (aided by the msm) to destroy Palin on that same issue, his narcissism, the fawning of the msm, and the blatant message that failure to vote for Obama made one a racist turned me off entirely. Mr. cks and I debated endlessly about this - as did our children. I thought McCain was a weak candidate yet I voted for him reluctantly - my reason, Obama had no clue what the office really entailed. Subsequent events have proved this to be true. Obama seems to forget that he was in the Senate and could have (though he did not - since he was too busy running) stood up to those things that he flet the Bush administration was doing wrong. Voting present or not voting is not taking a stand - it is the wimp's way out. That opposition to Obama and his goals is painted as racist (we see this insinuation more and more) will continue so as to convince African Americans that race relations in the US are deteriorating. If anything, what history will eventually lay at Obama's feet will be a major step(s) backward in racial harmony. That will be an enduring legacy of the post-Obama world in terms of domestic policy. As for foreign policy - well, we will be lucky if there is not a major terrorist incident that will leave us crippled economically, physically, militarily, and emotionally. |
