re: How will the United States end?

quote:

---

We will elect a black community activist with no real work experience. He will be a Muslim although claim to be a Christian. He will turn our country into a second rate entity. He will have no concept of the word truth and his brain dead followers will lap up every word he says as gospel. He will racially, economically, intellectually divide this country.
Oh wait.....

This isn't going to be very popular, but I don't think Obama was that bad of a president. Was he the best president ever?

No, not saying that either.

He is someone whose mother, who was born in Kansas, met Obama Sr at the University of Hawaii.

They married, had Barack, not long after the two divorced and his dad went back to Kenya. He met his dad once, but I don't think he wanted much to do with him. And he was raised by white grandparents in Hawaii.

All of this "He is a muslim! OMG we are doomed!" BS was nothing more than campaign tactics from the other side (which both sides do to each other).

It isn't like he went from community activist to the president. Wasn't he a state senator in Illinois.

I think he was elected sometime during the 90s. Then he became US Senator.. So he had political experience. He has a law degree from Harvard.

And the whole "Obamacare", it's far from perfect. But I know people who benefitted from it.

A friend of mine's mother had preexisting conditions, wasn't able to get health insurance from her employer.

She was on Obamacare, she ended up having early stages of cancer that wouldn't have been found and removed if it wasn't for Obamacare.

I think foreign relations was his strong suit, but people acts like the dude was the anti-christ.

A year before he took office the economy was headed down the wrong path and then it started to snowball.

By that October everyone was panicking. So if you compare where things were when he took office to where they were when he left, technically he left things in better shape than they were when he first took office.

While I am a registered Republican, I do not vote down party lines.

In Obama's second term election, that was the first time I voted outside my party for president.

This past election, it was the first time I didn't vote for president because I thought that the two options were a complete joke.

I couldn't bring myself to vote one or the other. I could have gone vote for a candidate from an alternative party, but I thought it was pointless.

There really isn't anything Obama did that made the country worse. There were lot of people who didn't support him simply because he was black (and there were people who voted for him just because he was black, which is just as bad).

There were people, union people, who would always get a pamphlet during election years, "recommending" who they vote for. Every single candidate they "suggested" was a democrat.

All of a sudden, Obama becomes a candidate and all of a sudden they are saying "I ain't voting for a __________".

Those same people, some who used to be loyal union workers, are die hard Trump fans. They support a fricking nationalist. In today's world, in the long run, a nationalist agenda is dangerous.

The one thing you can blame Obama on, is the fact that him being elected caused an uprise of people who were not really all that politically active.

If Obama was a Republican, there would be a few current red states, that would be blue.

And all of this is the absolute truth.
