I could list a bunch of reasons why, but instead I'd rather propose another question:
How is it that such an openly racist dickhead like yourself still allowed to post here?
So would you consider a WHITE person who VOTED for Obama SOLELY because the white person DID NOT want to be considered RACIST
by NOT voting for Obama?
There were some Iowans in the 2008 primary that voted for Obama BECAUSE in Iowa the pressure of literally STANDING in the caucus for who you want influenced some Iowans who DID NOT want to appear in front of the mass of MSM that covered Iowa primary as RACIST by NOT standing for Obama!
In other words JUST by standing for Obama showed Iowans weren't dumb racists.
It showed Iowans were sophisticated voters that had no problem voting for a totally inexperienced, incompetent Senator with less the 200 days in Congress with the positive value was he was black!
These Iowans did NOT want to appear racist EVEN though Obama WASN'T qualified! Was inexperienced! Was inept!
ONLY reason people voted for Obama was because he was BLACK which is a RACIST attitude!
Funny....Every time I went into a voting booth, I went alone and closed a curtain behind me....so your premise that people voted for Obama to appear "not racist" is a huge, steaming pile of bullshit.
People voted for Obama because of his platform....a moderate, slightly left leaning one that looked at the issues that face this nation and met thirty years of Corporate Welfare head on and asked "where's the trickling at?"
In those thirty years, we've seen massive government spending to keep the wealthy wealthy, has decimated our middle class, and has gotten us to the point that 47% of the population needs some sort of government assistance to make a go of it. You guys call him the "food stamp" president, but IMO...
that's a hell of a lot better than the"let them starve" president.
Do you guys EVER ask the question, "why are wages and benefits so shitty that people who work full time still need food stamps to feed their kids and Medicaid to get health care?".
