That's not true, Obama has been very 'cloak and dagger' as president, especially for someone who ran their entire campaign in 2008 as being "transparent." He made several campaign promises about transparency, such as how he would publicly post a full copy of every single bill that hit his desk on his website for people to read and share their thoughts on. He never did that. He then used executive privilege to classify the Operation Fast and Furious documents, which is an abuse of executive power.

Okay, I see what you're saying, he didn't come out of nowhere, you're right. I really hate to bring race into this, but it's an unfortunate fact. What I'm trying to say is that no white politician could have done what he did with such little experience. Even Obama's own party leaders said he wasn't "ready" or "experienced" enough to be president.

No he hasn't, and yes what I said was true. We were talking about Obama being transparent about himself. If you want to talk about being transparent when conducting his job as president, he still as been at least as transparent as any other president - and certainly more than Bush.


There is nothing to suggest that "no white politician" could have done what he did. By the way, if Romney is elected, he will have held a federal office for... four years, just like Obama before he was elected.

That's what he was saying, that Roosevelt wasn't black and became president without a lot of experience.

Swazi Spring, the things you are interested in, namely college papers and records might have been something to add to your reasoning for voting.. when he first ran. They don't matter now. You can piss and moan that they do, but that doesn't make it so. You have his first stretch as president to make an informed decision on how to vote. If he gets another four years, do you really think he is going to revert from his current ideologies to the ones he held in college?

This is just something used to rile up the uninformed or unintelligent. Its a smokescreen to the issues at hand, and every minute spent on it is a wasted one.

Also, this whole experience argument is funny as well. George W. Bush. How is that for modern? More? Ronald Reagan, Dwight Eisenhower, JFK, Jimmy Carter. etc etc etc. All white.

But that's as governor and he did something with the olympics and was a businessman with multinational experience. Way more than Obama.

Obama was the least vetted and most mysterious candidate ever in 2008. That's a large portion of why he won. He was a Rorschach blotch, he ran on "Hope and Change" and people saw in him whatever they wanted to see, that combined with the fact he was the first black to be a nominee made people believe he was somehow different. Obviously all the minorities were excited, but a ton of whites were too.

That's actually one reason he's having so much difficulty this time around. People are majorly disappointed in the idiotic expectations they built up for him. They had no idea he was just another random politician, a product of the Chicago political machine, every bit as corrupt and soul-less as any other politician.

I'm not saying Obama's the antichrist... I'm just saying... he came out of nowhere and is propped by mysterious powers.

Point to Obama's corruption for me? Point to where he's soulless? You say a lot, but you don't actually have anything to back those points up. You have "feelings". Try using your brain, bud. He hasn't been able to do anything b/c he's been obstructed the entire way.

I had a dream last night where I voted Romney just to watch the country burn. It's tempting. 4 more years of Obama and another run of the mill Republican candidate, or let the Republicans take office and watch everything burn so in 4 years we can have a landslide Democratic victory. This way the Republican party HAS to change. It gets me where I want to be faster, but I don't know if it's the better way to do it.
