If Obama was White He Wouldn't Be President - YouTube

No if Obama was white he would'nt be going through all of the bs being thrown at him. The fool fell to think about the fact that bush screwed up so badly Pee Wee herman could have ran as a democrat and won. Of course it did'nt hurt to run aginst the Crypt Keeper and the Incredible Clueless governor either.

So that means that all of the people that graduated under him were dumb? You are as bright as a dark room during a blackout.

Sorry, no dice. Obama didn't have a teleprompter during the 3rd debate.

Also, saying that politicians in general don't utilize teleprompters is just like saying that drivers don't utilize brakes - it's completely obvious that every politician uses them now and again.

Thank you, Senor Obvioso.

This is silly.

Bravo. You can find a black man in America that feels this way. I'm sure there's at least a hundred more. Hell, you may even be able to find a thousand if you try hard enough.

Truth is this. Obama is who he is, regardless of skin color. Strengths, weaknesses, successes, failures etc. would be essentially the same.

The difference, and why I believe he would probably be a more effective and durable overall President is not due to him being white per se, but the residual effects that being white imparts in a position of power. Think of it like this - if Obama is white, he likely suffers on a political level from somewhat diminished minority enthusiasm, but also benefits from diminished antipathy toward him from some due to his skin color. Let's say this is a wash in terms of votes for the sake of argument.

While him being white wouldn't make a difference from voters on any real substantive level I could see, my opinion is that a white Obama might benefit in terms of working with Congress. Put simply, those Congressmembers who currently can't be associated with anything Obama (the real, black one) does would have less pressure from their constituents.

But would he still be President? Why not? He's a Harvard Law School educated attorney who was a sitting U.S. Senator. He would have won with a different message. Could you imagine even a white Obama losing to McCain?

I like how folks go trolling for a black person to say the things about Obama that they wish they could say themselves outloud.

If Romney was black he wouldn't be on the ballot... If Reagan were an African American he wouldn't have sold crack to the black community. If Herman Cain was white... It's likely he would've been the forerunner on the ballot.
These kinds of raced based hypothetical situations are stupid

When this pseudo negro suggested that Allen West or Herman Cain should have been President he lowered his standing to that of an 1980's porn actor specializing in "golden showers"!!!

This is what happens to Black People yearning to be accepted by Conservatives, they are willing to commit political fellatio in order to be accepted albeit at a "lower" position than the "real" Conservatives.

"with Barracks credentials, he couldn't have been a security guard", if that idiot came into my neighborhood spouting this b.s., he would have been chased out with pitch forks and torches, and the crowd would be both black and White.
