I don't agree or disagree, but do these threads ever make a point?....As in what is the point of even having them?

Nevermind all of that. It was about denying Hillary Clinton the Presidency, and it was all about brown skin.

Harry Reid ****ed Barack Obama. And Barack Obama ****ed the United States of America.

Barack Obama's legacy will be nothing short of a disgrace. He will be ousted in 2012.

I hope Democrats and Liberals are happy with this grand accomplishment.
The level of paranoia in your post is almost mind-boggling.

And why do you so often say that anyone who supports Democrats is a "pawn"? Can you not accept that there's more than one way to govern a country?

How happy would you be with him if he wasn't black?

My feelings would be the exact same even if President Obama were purple with green polka dots. I am happy with President Obama and I will be voting for him in 2012. He will remain in office until Jan 19, 2017. Get used to it.

Book contradicts Reid memoir, says he encouraged Obama to seek White House in mid-2006, didn't want Hillary back in Senate - Politics: Ralston's Flash - Las Vegas Sun
Um...he still is and always will be the first black president. Your post title is wrong and you should fix it.

Are you saying we don't have the right to question our current President?

How un-American!

Over the last couple of generations America has managed to basically spend itself into global irrelevance,Yeah its easy to use a President as a scape goat for the situation but he's chump change in the process as a whole.
Maybe that is why more conservative types were elected in the last election. And we hope more this time around.
