The question should be: Is he the worst president there ever was or ever will be? Of course he is.

Time to stop lying 0ites. He has made every single thing worse. There is not one thing to point to that can be claimed an Obama success. Everything he touched from health care to foreign policy is in worse shape now.

BLM is not a paradox. It is a result.

O.K., I admit that I only skimmed a few parts of this. It's because I can't stand this sort of buyer's remorse from fools.

But my first thought honestly was, "What makes you think that he was 'one of you'?"

Maybe they were convinced by his attendance at Jeremiah Wrigth's church. Maybe they looked to his stint as a "community [dis]organizer." But Obama never struck me as being truly "down" with the Community. He is half-white--and raised in a world of privilege surrounded by commies.

“Al Sharpton, one of Obama’s staunchest defenders and a sometime adviser, argues that there is much to be grateful for in this presidency. “You know how many black people tell me, ‘I didn’t have health insurance until now’?”

A new freebie for our black wards of the state, paid for by taxpayers and their healthcare subsidies...

His mother is white.

Is he black or white?

Is the glass half full or half empty?

He is a full communist to be sure, though.

His DNA should show

He is a white American because of his mother.

He is a black Muslim because of his Kenyan father.

He has no connection to American blacks by birth, only by declaration.

I’m confused. What is he??

First half black. His mom was a white girl.

If Al Sharpton is one of your staunchest defenders and a "sometime adviser," then you're going through life with all the credibility of a pile of dog sh!t.

Can anyone site an instance where an idea from Obama made the situation better? This is NOT a rhetorical question. I can’t think of a thing. If you can, please post it.

Did Barack Obama do enough for his own community?

Obama's community is anti-American communists. He did more than enough for them.

From the article:
“He’s kind of a black Reagan,” says Anthea Butler. “He likes to believe in big, lofty things.”

Gag, choke, vomit and retch. This woman has no real clue Regan actually accomplished good things

"his own community"

Chicagoans? Democrats? Liberals? Nope, just more racist rhetoric because dividing people into groups to play off against one another is what Democrats do.

Has he done enough for his own community? Gee I don’t know if the good white folks of Martha’s vineyard or beachfront Hawaii really feel like talking much?

So the NY Times admits that Obama’s “community” is just blacks. So, as a member of the white community, can I now ignore the bastard?

So much for healing the racial divide.

Where was the barf alert? I had to lean so far to the left to read this slanted, navel-gazing, entitled, arrogant article, I fell over halfway through and gave up.

Six months into Obama’s tenure, a reporter asked the president what he thought of the arrest of Harvard’s Henry Louis Gates Jr., one of the most famous African-American intellectuals in the United States, who had been taken into custody for trying to unstick the stubborn front door of his own home.


That is a damned lie.

He was NOT taken into custody for trying to get into his home.
