For a moment, just ponder Obama v. Trump.

[Raglefant]

Many people including my brother in law still call Barack Obama a morally bankrupt human and the worst President in history. Many of these same people think Trump is trustworthy and a great President.

In the context of everything we now know about the lives of Obama and Trump, just for a moment consider how incredibly high the bar is for a young black man and how unbelievably low the bar is for an old white man. The chasm is beyond comprehension. Yet there are people who think racism no longer exists in America...

 

[ottumwan in tx]

I don't care about skin color. Obama wrecked everyone's health insurance just so he could be a hero to a few. he encouraged people to burn down ferguson. he was giddy about cops getting shot in dallas. he got some americans killed in mexico to make guns look bad. he and hills ordered a stand down in benghazi and got guys killed. he was the worst. trump is doing very good. by comparison.

Not just for him, but for their wives. Michelle Obama seemed to be a kind intelligent woman with class and was close to age of her husband. Melania is a trophy wife who married for money. Essentially a prostitute who only services one client. But that didn't stop people from making the comments that they couldn't wait for a classy first lady.

What the heck?

I am 100% convinced that by classy they ment "white"

I’ll never understand why the Benghazi thing is a big deal to some, but the situation in Niger isn’t.

Chad was made part of the travel ban without warning because of a dispute with Exxon. Chad withdrew their troops from our operation in Niger in retaliation. Because there wasn’t adequate warning that we were planning on pissing off our ally, there wasn’t time to bring in proper reinforcements. Four undertrained and underarmed soldiers were made to fill in on a mission they had no business being on.

Fun fact: Chad was removed from the travel ban list right after Tillerson left.

probably because the msm only cares about stormy and Russia.

when michelle Obama crapped on America is when she said she hated this country until the country elected barak. that means she hated jfk and Washington and Lincoln and so on.

Some of it is probably rooted in racism, but I think it’s more of a Dem/Repub issue than a black/white issue. Most of the same people you describe also think Hillary is a despicable person, and she’s just about the whitest woman who ever lived.

How could you be more misinformed? You don't have a f'ing clue.

You're like an interviewee getting an easy technical question 100% wrong and being 100% confident that they were completely correct. I asked a couple of easy quick questions and walked him out the door and said HR will be contacting you.

Or ponder for a moment that race is irrelevent. Maybe it had more to do with his socialist policies. Kinda like Bernie. Who is an older crustier white guy, but I'm pretty sure those that were against Obama weren't Bernie supporters. But by all means continue, the solution to fixing racism by pulling out the race card with people who disagree with you seems like it's been working just great.

Playing the race card doesn't work this time. But it's inevitable. We've been told for 10 years that ANY criticism of Barack Obama proves racism on the part of the critic.

First, I don't know anyone who thinks that not only is Obama the worst president in history, but that Trump is trustworthy and a great president. In fact, I know a lot of people who voted for Trump, and I have never heard any of them even suggest that he might be trustworthy.

Second, there is no way on God's green Earth that a white man with Obama's resume would have gotten the Democratic nomination, much less won the presidency. He had no accomplishments or experience whatever. There was no reason to think he was capable of doing the job.

The half of your statement that rests on the premise that Trump is a POS is easily defensible, but the rest is not.

Yawn. The reason is because America is extremely divided politically.

I don't think race has much to do with it. I think you're just an incorrect liberal.

No offense

 

[ThorneStockton]

Yeah, I'm not so sure it's a race thing, likely to a degree.

I mean look at the primaries, Trump is just what the Republicans prefer.

Why do you lie about everything?

 

[UNIowaHawk]

Just as every POTUS has done, Obama and Trump have both done some good things and some bad. I think a lot of this is to do with MSM and I’m sure a lot of people are rolling their eyes right now. Let’s face it though MSM has pulled a 180 on their stance from the prior admin (attack to defend or defend to attack). Really no different than some of you handicap mongoloids on here.

School lunches! Emails! Benghazi!

The children really did hate the Mrs Obama lunches...I think that one was probably a miss. Then again it is hard to serve a healthy meal that has enough substance to it on $.76 per serving.

I'll give you that Obama didn't have a great deal of experience before becoming president. But he actually held some elected offices.

 

[BABiscuit]

I tend to disagree with the OP and others that think irrational hatred of Obama was due to racism. Certainly that was correct for some. But I think the majority that hated Obama did so because they are unbelievably stupid and incapable of an independent thought. Fox News, talk radio, and the Breitbart of the world, along with the political class of the GOP told them Obama was the worse thing ever and wanted to destroy America so they believed it.

So don't blame racism when it may have just been that the common conservative is just a fu cking idiot.

Trump had more accomplishments than Obama???
Are You talking about bankruptcies ??? If So I'll admit You're right.

To be fair to LC, he specifically said the Democratic nomination, him being black undoubtedly helped get the black vote out. A white person with a similar resume might not have made the grade, I'm not sure how you'd determine that, but it's not hard for me to believe.

Obviously someone of poor qualifications can get the Republican nomination, but that wasn't what LC said.

That would only mean that . . . at the very least for white candidates the Democrats have much tougher standards then Republicans.

However I don't know that was in the spirit of what he was trying to say. Seems to me he was trying to say that Obama being black is the only thing that got him to the presidency due to lack of experience. But if that's the case how did the white and even less experienced Donald Trump get there?

God I hear that all the time from Trump supporters.

On top of that the main problem I have is that many have labeled the Trumps as "classy" and the Obama's as lacking in class. Listen disagreements about politics would lead to a disagreement about how good a president was. But disagreements about politics shouldn't lead to a disagreement about what constitutes class. And there is no way on God's green earth that one could honestly argue that the Trump's are more "classy" then the Obama's. Unless to you "classy" means white.

Obama got a free pass from network TV. Trump doesn’t.

Not saying Obama was as jacked up as trump but it makes a difference.

Not touching cable news, plenty of crazy’s on both sides of that.

30 years from now you will size up accomplishments, not moods or feelings. Time will be the ultimate judge of all presidents.

The next great president imo will be the one that actually starts reducing the national Debt.
