Alice, IMHO, the reason Obama was elected the first time was BECAUSE he was black. Many voters were afraid to be called racist if they didn't vote for him. However the greatest majority that voted for him was because they bought into his blarney. They were ready for a change, but didn't realize what type of 'change' he had in mind. Also, you must surely be aware he could never, ever, had been elected, either time, without the white vote. There just aren't enough living Blacks and Hispanics that could have elected him either time. Consequently he owes his election to the white electorate. Granted there are some that object to him because of his mixed race. However, the majority of those opposed to him do not dislike him because of his pigmentation it is because of his destructive policies, E.O.'s and ruinous regulations which is destroying America. I don't dislike him because of the color of his skin, I dislike him because of the content of his character, or rather the lack of character.
And you are right about the dirty politics in the last election. I didn't think the Democrats could sink any lower, but they surprised me. They became even lower and dirtier than any political 'war' I have ever experienced. Like you, I am just shy of my 'four score years'. But, I am not as embittered and hate filled as you appear to be, nor anywhere near as biased and bigoted as you. The only thing(s) Obama has accomplished in his 5 1/2 years in office is to further divide the people, destroyed our economy, drive us deeper into debt, traversing the country giving numerous campaign speeches, even though the campaign has been over for 10 months, vacationing on the taxpayer's dime, playing golf and party timing. I don't begrudge him vacationing occasionally as I'm sure he needs a little TV time to catch up on the latest scandals. After all he only hears about them the same way his serfs do and that is via news accounts. I only hope this Nation can survive the next 3 1/2 years before we implode. Hopefully we will get a new President that believes in America and for what she stood for before Emperor Hussein came to town. God forbid that Billary Clinton should accede to the White House. We would just have an extension of Obama, only this one would be wearing pant suits. By the way, 'transsectual' is spelled 'transsexual'. Just for your edification my dear. Have a pleasant evening, your old pal, Old_Gringo.
