Obama Haters

[jamesb18c1]

There wasn't a mass shift in voting the country was still split 50/50

What was final number like 52/48?

Im not sure, Im just saying how many people only voted for him because he was the first black guy to run for president. Lots of people just wanted to see history made and know they had something to do with it. I bet if he was just another white guy he wouldnt have gotten a lot of the votes he did.

Oh god the things I want to say, and you're in the Army huh? hmm..

First black guy to run for president, I say this with all due respect but did you pull that out your ass? Pick up a history book, Shirley Chisolm, Jesse Jackson, Lenora Fulani all ran for president in the past. And I've said it time and time again, the idea that being black somehow gives you a leg up on being elected Commander in Chief is asinine.

Mike, the election wasn't even close. Obama got 300 something electoral votes while McCain had mid 100's. (I don't remember exact figures)

I like the original poster's approach to the subject and his responses, even though Jimmy tried to take the thread elsewhere rather than address the actual post. I'll continue to sit back and watch, I couldn't stand idle with the post I quoted though.

I stand corrected about Obama being first, I have never really cared about politics till recently. Feel free to say what you like, your not gonna hurt my feelings.

I'm not talking about electoral college I'm talking about popular vote

Obama 52%
McCain 45%

131 million people voted or slightly more than 1/3 of our population as a whole. Of that 131 million people roughly half voted for Obama .
205million people are registered to vote, 72 million democrats and 55 million republicans

69 million people voted for Obama , 59 million for McCain. So 10 million people decided the election.

So less than 8% of the entire population that voted decided the election.

I don't consider that a mandate on Obama, yes he won, yes he won much more convincingly than bush, he was def swept into office.

However as I have always contended the majority of this country is not as far left as Obama Reid and pelosi. Majority is center, Obama won because it was a referendum on bush , not because people are left in their views.

The nov midterms will shift the country back toward center as independents, who deidre the election for Obama, flee him and his congressional colleagues for more center people.

Obama will be a one term president, he's not smart enough to get elected twice.

you do know that polls don't mean shit... fair and balanced i say

Another left winger blog. You realize the context of that story right? They were saying that so many people were ignorant over his name barrack Hussein Obama that people thought he was Muslim.

They so had people being interviewed by Howard stern and fox news sayig his name was osama bin laden because the name barrack Biden was so close to it.

They were doing a piece on word play and how it could be damaging (because of how stupid people are). Lol they were helping him if anything

and no rasmussen polls are extremely accurate, you sure took a different tone when bush was in office when polls meant everything

Obama is going down guys of his own accord , you can't rationalize it he's destroying your party and his presidency for a bill America doesn't want as a whole

not very bright

nice try, but all of my posts have been on the subject I quoted.

You are an idiot. He may have gotten favorable treatment in some areas based solely on race but that had nothing to do with him getting elected. The reality is that the best thing Obama had going for him was that he wasnt a republican and could not be associated with Bush. Nothing else even came close to that influence.
