Yeah, some people just love to attempt to justify their hatred and bigotry in some way. Even if Obama made Zero mistakes(which isn't even possible for a president) these types would be saying the same thing, no doubt about it.

Also the fact that they base a whole group off of one man is quite telling. It really tells you just the type of person they are.

General rule of thumb; when a US party is accused of failing to compromise, it's probably propaganda. The Republicans and Democrats are both at fault for the state of things today.

Also, under Obama's watch; Benghazi, NSA/Snowden (which covers internet/phone/who knows what else), IRS scandals, healthcare.gov, hell, ACA in its entirety has been a big mess, and Fast and Furious... Probably more. It would be silly to place all the blame on him, but he's definitely done plenty of things wrong.

OP: Obama could have been percieved much better had he been president during a much calmer time. Maybe during the Clinton years. There would be less for him to screw up. Though he'd have to do a hell of a lot better with his healthcare, because this has been a complete clusterfuck. But no, I don't think his lacklustre performance as President has set African Americans back.

This X 1000.  The sad thing is that for some reason people think the Reps/Conservatives should just go along with everything Obama wants, and that equals compromise.  Heck, some of the more left leaning Reps do.  Still, this IS NOT what this country was set up to be like.  That would make the Congress just a big show, and our Republic would be a Dictatorship. Those Reps in the House were actually voted in to stop Obama, and the Dems who were in control for 2 years, from doing whatever they wanted.

It's also incredibly ridiculous to act like Obama has some great hardship in getting things passed in the Congress.  In fact, he had it pretty good for the first few years, seeing as he is living in an ever growing PC America, where some were afraid to even criticize him for fear of being called racist.  And EVERY president has had to deal with the opposing party.  Some are good at it, others are not.  Obama just falls under the category of "are not."  Mainly because he doesn't like to comprimise, himself.

No, but the democratic party has. Its sad to see an entire generation of black americans fall apart and continue to vote in the very people that are killing them.

I haven't seen any White only signs at public restrooms, and I don't have to give up my seat for a White person, so no.

Of course not.

For people who aren't racist they will judge the Obama presidency without judging the entire African American demographic. The next African American candidate who comes forward is no more or less likely to get their vote than before 2008.

For people who are racist, they are already living >50 years in the past, so nothing has changed for them. And none of these people voted for Obama in either election. And they won't vote for the next African American candidate.

People who say they aren't racist but say they are less likely to vote for another African American candidate because of Obama, actually are and have always been racist.

Polish, right? I'd imagine you guys were more in favor of Bush's policies and his tough stand against Russia. But i think Obama's done what pretty much any president would have done. Libya was doable, Syria really can't be intervened in, not with nobody at all else willing to touch it. Antagonizing Russia pointlessly over missile shields was a dumb waste of diplomatic capital in the meantime.

It does certainly look like Obama got schooled in the Syrian Chemical weapons incident, but ultimately we got the best solution we're going to get: voluntary surrender and destruction of the weapons. Less fortunate is that Assad will continue to rule there for a long time, since the FSA has been compromised and now the opposition is pretty much all people that everyone (except the Gulf Monarchies, but fuck those guys) will like less than Assad himself.

While I certainly think he has done harm to America I think that all president's in history have been generally terrible.

And I don't blame them for screwing things up. Managing a nation to the level that presidents have been trying to do in ever increasing amounts just does not work.

As far as I'm concerned the government should go back to its original role of protecting us from other nations and each other.

Instead you are just mandated to give up your health via an expensive and mandatory health care plan.

This is the problem with the two party system.

When one side messes up they blame the other side whenever they can.
