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.


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


Equating this to what black Americans had to go through in the 50s and 60s is laughable. 

Americans and their freaking fear of (gasp!) mandatory health care, lol. As if Canada, Japan, and Europe don't manage just fine.

If you're talking socioeconomically rather than politically, then that is a much more complicated question given the President is just one of numerous factors that influences the socioeconomic situation in the USA.

One should note that in a survey CNN conducted on Obamacare (the thing people like to criticise a lot) 51% of people opposed Obamacare. BUT, of those 51% at least 20% opposed it because it wasn't liberal (socialist) enough. So that means only about 30% of people oppose Obamacare because they think it's an evil liberal wet dream.

how so?  We still have gitmo, bailouts, unpatriot act, high gas prices, high inflation, downward economy, petroleum wars, failing federal schools, unregulated bank/insurance/investment companies, treasurer employed by goldman sacs, and a government that goes to the highest bidder.  To name a few.

 

 

Add on drone killings, forced purchases of shitty insurance, indefinite detention without trial of us citizens for suspicion, a deficit that doubled what preceded; 0 then $8T now $16$.... prosecution of govt whistle blowers, and worst of all he has ppl convinced he's not like those other guys in washington.

 

 

What's better about him?

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.


That's why a lot of blacks say they love the KKK, because at least they are outwardly racist. Nothing irritates african americans more than the racists who hide behind the fact that they hate blacks.Deep down they can't stand blacks but they are too scared to admit it so they use crutch phrases like i'm not racist, in fact my ____________ is black or pull out stats out their rear end to justify their bigotry or stereotypical views on minorities. 

Here are some favorites from your friendly neighberhood hidden racist

"I'm not racist, in fact my best friend is black" "I'm not racist, I voted for the black guy" "I'm not racist, I don't see the color of your skin" "I'm not racist, my adopted sibling is black" 

I'll be here all week ladies and gentleman lol

I don't know about the internal stuff, as I'm not even remotely close to being an expert in USA and its internal problems, but as far as foreign policy goes, he's just such an idiot. I really can't express what a clown he is in this field. He's like a blind little kid walking around in darkness, has no clue about what's going on around him. Any single random republican would do a better job. Every single day with him in charge costs you more and more.
I mean, the way he recently got humiliated in Syria... Just painful to watch... It's gonna cost you dearly in the future to repair everything he's neglecting and messing up.


Because going to war in Syria would be such a great option, lol. It was funny seeing the Saudi's throw a hissy fit when they realized they couldn't use the US army as their private fighting force for their own purposes anymore. They were like a fat kid that just got told they're not getting to eat cake. 

That whole "chemical attack" stinks worse a false flag attack orchestrated by the Saudis worse than anything. There's no point in Assad using chemical weapons when it would just provoke the West when he was already winning the war. Total set up. 

F**k the middle east. Let them settle their own damn problems. 


As if the Saudi's mattered at all here. The chemical attack was BS, but that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if it was really done by Isreal, Assad, Saudi Arabia, Turkey or USA. What matters is just how Putin played you, which was really humiliating. I remember Ijust couldn't stop thinking that he threw a banana Obama's way and the guy totally lost it... (So maybe the OP is actually right?) Watching Putin toying with the, allegedly, most powerful man on Earth was just that disturbing. You guys are gonna pay dearly for all the mistakes he's making.


F**k Putin too, lol. It's not the US' job to go running into military conflict the moment the Saudi's ring their little bell. That whole charade was orchestrated by the Saudis, sadly they probably gassed some innocent Syrian kids to try to bait the American public. They didn't take the bait. 

No one in the US is scared of Russia.

From what I can tell (outsider perspective, I know) - Barack Obama did nothing particularly wrong; he just couldn't get anything done in the country because Republicans in Congress always completely refused to agree to anything he suggested, and refused to compromise.


this pretty much sums up how aussies feel about his countless ideas being blocked.

He basically did nothing right, other than have a gift for speeches and public speaking in general.

Kind of tells the whole world what to expect if an African American is president. Not saying I am saying that. Anyone could have screwed up as we saw with That idiot Bush kid who was President. But this was kind of like a big thing for African Americans. Finally getting full equal treatment. All of America voting for him and then he does a horrible job.

 

What do you all think?

Please no racism, because you know you will be banned! I am trying to ask this question without adding any racism in it, even though it is probably a touchy subject for some. Hard to do, but I hope I accomplished this.

Right now USA is a joke, you have insanly high debt and your president is forcing acts that will be increasing your deficit even more. USD is done as a world currency.
