If all of this completely unfair and blatantly ignorant Obama bashing is going to continue past a week or so on here, I am going to need to seriously consider leaving SBR. It gives me a headache and it is just ridiculous.
I've sifted through and read all of your stuff. Please do the same for me.
Lets go over a few things.
OBAMA DID NOT WIN BECAUSE HE WAS BLACK:
Do you realize what you are saying? You are willing to factor in the amount of people that voted for Obama just because he was black, but you aren't willing to factor in the people that voted AGAINST him just because he was black? You really think that being black worked to Obama's advantage? If this is true, why hasn't a black person run and won easily before him?
Anyone with half a brain could have told you the democrats were going to win this election 2 years ago. Bush is one of the most unpopular presidents of all time (contrary to BBD's beliefs), and the country has fallen from grace. Even if you don't blame Bush, the simple fact is that he was in command when this country nosedived, and obviously the American people were going to want to put someone new in there.
The Republicans sealed their fate when they chose John McCain. An American hero, yes; but an old man that voted in favor of 90% of President Bush's movements. Really? No matter who the Democrats put out there in this election, he was going to win.
Did black voters go out in greater number because Obama is black ? Of course. But a white man with Barack Obama's energy and ideals would have won this election easily, too.
I challenge you Obama haters that believe he only won on skin color alone to draw me a map. Show me what states he would have lost if not for the black vote (and please keep in mind that a) the blacks that did vote still would have voted democrat, and b) you also have to subtract from white voters that voted against Barack because he was black). Show me the road to 270 that McCain would have walked, instead of coming up with all this nonfactual nonsense that only makes sense in your head.
THIS COUNTRY NEEDS CHANGE, NOT HATE AND DISSENSION:
Take of your rose colored glasses for a minute and look around. This country is fvcked up! Whether or not you blame Bush or not, the economy is garbage, the job market is garbage, our relationships with other world powers are iffy, we are still mired in a war with no real exit strategy, the list goes on and on. We've all been hit hard on this.
I AM A REGISTERED REPUBLICAN, and I'll be the first to go over the flaws of the Democratic party with you. I supported Bush over Gore in 2000! But I'm not just some drone that is brainwashed by party affiliation. The truth is, we need change. We need a mix-up. Whatever we have done to get our country in this dire shape, things need to be shaken up. Is Barack Obama going to fix all of these problems? I have no idea. But I can tell you that he didn't vote WITH President Bush on 90% of his movements. I can tell you he is not your standard old man president. His ideals may be far fetched at time but he actually believes in them, and he will fight for us.
BBD, calling out for the guy to be impeached and calling out for another terrorist attack, are you serious? Do you know anything about Barack Obama or his policies or ideas, or do you just see the color of his skin and assume the world has come to an end?
Now is not the time to be divided. What is done is done. Stop damning the guy before he even sets foot in the oval office. Give him a chance! And support him, he's going to be your fvcking president. If he does a terrible job, we can rip him a new one like we have every president before him. But he should be allowed to go in with a clean slate, not be damned from the beginning because of his skin color.
I highly doubt any of you actually read all of this, but if you did, thanks.
