I did not imply anything about privilege... I simply countered your statement about him growing up during the civil rights era.. with the fact he did not grow up here in the 48. If you wish to go into his childhood and how that prepared him to be a great president - please put some facts on the table about his childhood or his presidency.
Well lets face it moron the ABO mantra is fine considering the field of candidates is pretty thin. I mean if ak, brass or rcg were really able to take office the ABO wouldn't make any sense and would be counter productive. Quite frankly there is nothing about obama and I mean "NOTHING" about obama that I like as far as a person , philosophy or governance that I like (that i know of). The most gracious thing I can say about him is he has some cute daughters but that's it .
Some facts on the table? Growing up without a father as a child of a mixed couple and turning out just fine. More than fine and vastly above average.
Most I know better served by the dems are welfare recipients, flaming liberals and union goons. Only a self important presumptuous moron would say that, you have NO proof. Self serving horse shit. BO has been nothing but an ineffective embarrassment to this country. His only success to speak of is he just happened to be in the WH when Bin Laden was executed. So history will give him credit for that.
Really? Cause me and virtually everyone I know are still voting ABO. Of course as a Canadian you won't be voting at all.
History is judged within a context. Bush ran the country into the ground in 8 short years and Obama had to pick up the pieces. There is absolutely nobody who could have a glorious presidency given those circumstances. The world economy almost collapsed in 2008 and european economy is still like a zombie. Romney lost to John McCain in 2008 and was embarrassed several times by a laughable joke of a candidate rick santorum. It is more than reasonable to assume that Romney would struggle in fields of human activity where strong family connections did not exist or could not provide him with overwhelming leverage. The republican party is an intellectually bankrupt institution with only one idea "trickle down economics via tax cuts for the rich" Do you think guys who founded google cared or were served by hypothetical tax cuts to Bill Gates? They did not give a shit about his tax cuts, they did not want to be his employees they wanted to be the "man" themselves and that is why they are billionaires. Trickle down economics is a path to economic serfdom.
