Obstinance_Works: If no one thought it was possible then Obama wouldn't have won one term in office let alone two.
Imo it was entirely predictable for the Left-wing of the middle class to appoint an Uncle Tom as figurehead. An alpha male who looks like a Black but is all SWPL on the inside was going to attract a lot of support from Blacks duped into thinking he's one of them and SWPLs who get to pretend that he isn't.
48jojo: There were two elections for this president the first I did not vote for Obama and the second I did not for any reason other than I thought he did as good as anyone could under the circumstances and he was the best chance to get our troops home. Would I vote for another I he happened to be black and that answer would be yes if he or she was the best solution for the problems we face and not because of race. There are far to many things going on about race and we are a nation of many races so lets put it behind us and move on, we have far to many problems facing us.
Regardless of skin color I think Obama is nothing but a liar like the rest of them.He has stated several times that he was bringing all the troops home and obviously lied about doing so.Instead he has sent more troops to Iraq.
Obviously we'll only see another black president only if another black man runs.
JeanKimberley: This kind of thinking is offensive to anyone - labeling peeps is just biased and ignorant
This president was not elected because of his color, or race (some might even say in spite of his color). He is not a representative of his race. He is a representative of the people of the United States of America, and the republican party. He is an individual.
Trying to second guess the election process based on simplistic reasons, is just
You talk of individuality when you parrot word for word what White middle class Americans always say. This entrancement with your own uniqueness and individuality is what binds together Leftoidian middle class Whites with Right-wing Libertarian middle class Whites despite of other differences.
And whilst exceptions to the rule exist as they always do, you, Jean, are certainly not one of them. You go way beyond the natural things in common groups and cultures have all the way into political groupthink. The absolute inability to think critically, independently or objectively beyond political expediency. Your type of "individualism" is the most unindividualistic individualism I know of - but don't take it personally as there are literally millions just like you.

Ah c'mon OW....everyone is a special little snowflake
It has been nothing less than a "trainwreck", and the kind where you are not sure exactly if you got hit real bad or if you are really asleep. (like in a coma) Not a pretty sight at all.

redo416: president Obama love or hate him he is the president .as all US presidents I watch come and go they all had their share of problems in office and to me the ones still to come will continue to.it seem you just can not please every body looking back at his past six years he make some good and bad decisions and who know what may happen with the next two years.as a black man he has done what no one think was possible and to me that is his major opposition but than again no one is perfect . do you think you ever see a next black president?
Why is it called the white house in USA? Kidding.
It does not matter if the president of a country is black or white or yellow.... what matters is that he/ahe finds a balance between business interest$ and average people living conditions/opportunities to improve their life.
BTW Under President Obama administration, there have been deported way more illegal immigrants that in Bush administration. One thing is the president's speech and another what they do.

My Grandad and his G.I generation didn't use to talk of individuality and instead they had a different word: character. And character was something you earned through effort, experience and ordeal.
But something has definitely changed. Character/individuality in this day and age is something you supposedly just have anyway. You're an individual just because you exist - no supporting evidence of your individuality is necessary - and I blame this mentality for the modern lack of critical thinking and the dearth of eccentricity. Precisely because each person is told they are unique just as they are they forget to act or think in a way which actually makes them unique. Basically what people try to pass off as individualism today is a cheap and easy conformity which completely devalues the individual.

The White House was named so because of intense bird droppings. It became the White House shortly after all the original federal carrier pigeons contracted severe diarrhea from all the political verbal diarrhea they had to carry to/from there.

I don't like Obama because of the wars. Drones bombing in a lot of countries. Guantanamo bay is still open and breaking any international law. Israel continued a Palestinian genocide funded by USA money and weapons. Assassinating Osama Bin Laden was evil. No real justice in that move.
If the US would have followed the universal declaration of human rights. and followed the majority of the United Nations instead of using a veto.
For the rest: Obamacare. pfff what a boring topic has that been. The federal budget is still very wrong in the US.
Obama was just a bit better than Romney and McCain. Too bad there were only 2 candidates
must be a better Eskimo than that one , can't have her now that Russia is causing trouble as shes to busy watching from her kitchen
