But I think a large percentage of Independents--who do not pay attention to politics much--voted for Obama, not against him. And a major reason--not the only one, but a major one--was to participate in a historic event, namely the first African-American President in our history. It's like voting for Rosa Parks or MLK. Like voting for the moon landing. Like voting for Lincoln. Like voting against Pearl Harbor. This was a Historic Moment, and so a lot of people wanted to participate in it.<br /><br />Now I think a lot of people are regretting their vote. And now they wish that he had been vetted more carefully. <br /><br />You know, when Branch Rickey--sorry, Ricky Branchy--integrated the Dodgers, he paid a lot of attention to who that man was going to be. He was very careful. He got not just an awesome ballplayer in Jackie Robinson, but also somebody who had the right personality. <br /><br />Obama may or may not have the right personality. But as a ballplayer, he sucks.<br /><br />It's like we integrated baseball with a guy playing .200 baseball. It's embarrassing. <br /><br />I hope Condi Rice runs in my lifetime. I would like to see African-Americans achieve success in our society. I really would. But I refuse to lie and say that the Obama Presidency has been anything less than an unqualified disaster. It's been horrible for the economy. And it hasn't been particularly good for black people, either.Saint Croixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17876368500159112781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-16639923915839461242011-09-22T17:58:18.461-05:002011-09-22T17:58:18.461-05:00Lincolntf says:Let's not pretend Perry is some...Lincolntf says:<i>Let's not pretend Perry is some sort of small Government Republican.

You have to be kidding me.
Obama ...Matt seriously. You have to be kidding me.<br /><br />Obama won because maroons like the professor could feel good about themselves by voting for the black guy. In the immortal words of Clueless Joe Biden he <br />was "articulate." In other words not your usual Sharpton or Jackson type bomb thrower. So lots and lots of people gave him the benefit of the doubt in the hopes that the election of the first black president would help bridge the racial divide.<br /><br />Well he blew up that bridge by his every action. From his "typical white people" to his "clinging to guns and religion" to his beer summits to every other fucking thing he does and says to make it worse instead of better.<br /><br />His class warfare and big government prescriptions is the road to disaster. Look at his current plan. Same as the old plan. Tax and spend. Take all the money from the rich people (ie everyone who makes more than $10 an hour) and give it to the government for make work jobs and sixteen dollar muffins. Yeah that's the way to cure unemployment. That's surely the way to turn it around.<br /><br />For Dunkin fuckin Donuts.<br /><br />Hopefully even the dim blubs who voted for him won't get fooled again.<br /><br />Snooki would make a better President.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-46588536648143838332011-09-22T16:33:15.500-05:002011-09-22T16:33:15.500-05:00Saint Croix

A ton of good ideas, but none that are revolutionary.<br /><br />Perry has the hope that he would toss out the EPA, gut entitlements. But he would want to make all of America Texas, a Fundie sort of Texas and he may put off enough voters to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory outside his Bible Belt and give the Failed Boy President 4 more years or until the military takes emergency control of the country..<br /><br />Bachmann is a hyperambitious, unqualified, demogoguing joke.<br />Palin is an idiot who quit her only high office halfway through. Who is only in the conversation because media hates her and the rightwingers love her following McCain's annointment of the inexperienced, unqualified lady. <br /><br />Romney or Perry. With the risk that Romney will not go far enough in actions to stop or slow down our collapse.
