    He would be treated like George W Bush instead of getting a free pass from the media.  Obviously some of it is the media bias toward the left wing but still, C'mon, horrible job by the Commander and Chief.

    How many documentaries have been made on Obamas ignorance?  How many times have people taken personal attacks against Obama in the media?  Bush didn't like Black people when Katrina hit.  Obama was in Marthas Vineyard when Irene hit.  Thats a free pass in my book  The country is way worse off now than it was 3 years ago.  The media never criticizes Obama.  Bush raised oil prices b/c he was from Texas according to the media but they don't criticize Obama even tho oil has gone up 40 % since he has been in office.  Unemployment is higher.  Do you know politics or are you one of those blind left wingers who spouts what you hear (or don't hear) in the media?

       What if Obama were white?

    He would be worse at basketball but better at NCAA brackets.

    Q. What's the difference between Obama opponents and Obama supporters?
    A. The first group works for a living while the second group votes for a living.

    Unfortunately, Obama's skin color has a LOT to do with this.  If he was white, his numbers would be MUCH lower.  40% approval rating should be more like 20%, but a large number of minorities like Scalabrine think he is doing just fine.

    Do you even fucking know idiotic you sound? The miniscule oranges you are comparing to apples the size of the sun makes me think you have yet to graduate middle school.

    #1

    Obama had his US BIRTH questioned throughout the entire media for over a YEAR until he finally released a copy of his official birth certificate which many STILL don't believe is legitimate!

    This is in the face of a Bush presidency and media that BURIED the fact the entire Bin Laden family was flown out of the US in which every US citizen was under a nation-wide no-fly mandate. 

    Now which man is more likely to have illegitimate foreign loyalties?

    #2 

    Obama, primarily because of his middle name and liberal treatment of National prayer day, has been accused of secretly heading plans to undermine the entire United States with an Islam based agenda. The media promotes this, not by crediting any source, but by continually releasing polls acknowledging more Americans believe this (which herds even more). 

    Of course all of that is laughable as their is no evidence connecting Obama to Islam yet he continually gets accused as such with wild conspiracy theories.

    But there is hard evidence for some things Bush is associated with when it comes to Islamic loyalty.

    Bush is the son of a father and former president who has been in bed with Saudi Arabians, the country of origin of 15 9/11 hijackers and birthplace of Osama. Millions in funding for the company he was a senior advisor for during 9/11 - the Carlyle Group - was provided for by the Bin Laden family. Bush Jr. himself headed one of its subsidiaries. 

    Again, you don't know this or know little about this because it was A) buried or B) touched upon VERY briefly by the media.

    # 3

    You do know Obama came home Friday night from Martha's Vineyard and the Hurricane made landfall in the US today correct? You also must know Irene is a Category 1 storm with 75-85 mph winds and water surges of 7-10 feet. I doubt you know that Katrina was a Category 5 storm with winds up to 150, surges that resulted in breached levees that almost covered house rooftops, and was the costliest national disaster in US history of which Bush, who was briefed on the storms many days beforehand said:

    September 13, 2005

    11:30 a.m. – Bush takes responsibility for the federal government’s failures while speaking at a press conference with Iraqi President Talabani. Bush: Katrina exposed serious problems in our response capability at all levels of government. And to the extent that the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility. I want to know what went right and what went wrong.

    Funny how many people outside of Kanye West remember any of this. Now please, go educate yourself. I don't have time for any more of your bullshit.

    Do you even fucking know idiotic you sound? The miniscule oranges you are comparing to apples the size of the sun makes me think you have yet to graduate middle school.

    #1

    Obama had his US BIRTH questioned throughout the entire media for over a YEAR until he finally released a copy of his official birth certificate which many STILL don't believe is legitimate!

    This is in the face of a Bush presidency and media that BURIED the fact the entire Bin Laden family was flown out of the US in which every US citizen was under a nation-wide no-fly mandate. 

    Now which man is more likely to have illegitimate foreign loyalties?

    #2 

    Obama, primarily because of his middle name and liberal treatment of National prayer day, has been accused of secretly heading plans to undermine the entire United States with an Islam based agenda. The media promotes this, not by crediting any source, but by continually releasing polls acknowledging more Americans believe this (which herds even more). 

    Of course all of that is laughable as their is no evidence connecting Obama to Islam yet he continually gets accused as such with wild conspiracy theories.

    But there is hard evidence for some things Bush is associated with when it comes to Islamic loyalty.

    Bush is the son of a father and former president who has been in bed with Saudi Arabians, the country of origin of 15 9/11 hijackers and birthplace of Osama. Millions in funding for the company he was a senior advisor for during 9/11 - the Carlyle Group - was provided for by the Bin Laden family. Bush Jr. himself headed one of its subsidiaries. 

    Again, you don't know this or know little about this because it was A) buried or B) touched upon VERY briefly by the media.

    # 3

    You do know Obama came home Friday night from Martha's Vineyard and the Hurricane made landfall in the US today correct? You also must know Irene is a Category 1 storm with 75-85 mph winds and water surges of 7-10 feet. I doubt you know that Katrina was a Category 5 storm with winds up to 150, surges that resulted in breached levees that almost covered house rooftops, and was the costliest national disaster in US history of which Bush, who was briefed on the storms many days beforehand said:

    September 13, 2005

    11:30 a.m. – Bush takes responsibility for the federal government’s failures while speaking at a press conference with Iraqi President Talabani. Bush: Katrina exposed serious problems in our response capability at all levels of government. And to the extent that the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility. I want to know what went right and what went wrong.

    Funny how many people outside of Kanye West remember any of this. Now please, go educate yourself. I don't have time for any more of your bullshit.

    If you don't have any time for my bullshit don't respond.    As for there being no Muslim link to him, HIS DAD AND STEP DAD WERE MUSLIM AND HE WENT TO A MUSLIM PRIVATE SCHOOL FOR A FEW YEARS.  whatever tho I'm not trying to get political but if you can't admit that the media favors the right wing then you are so naive it embarasses me to even argue with you.

    If Obama were white, he wouldn't be hanging a picture of racial hatred near his office. Sheesh. Get out out of the past and push the country forward.

    Really...That's amusing.

    Because all those concessions he made in the several trillion dollar debt ceiling reductions cater to minorities as 'reparations.' 

    Because he continually, in the face of crushing minority unemployment rates and deep cuts to social programs by the GOP, has stressed racial transcendence at virtually every point in his administration.

    I will guarantee you one thing - this guy will go down as our worst president ever. He's simply that bad. Zero leadership skills. Zero clue on how to problem solve and plenty of finger pointing. The guy is lame. And race has zero to do with it - check his resume. He has never accomplished anything noteworthy to hold this office.

    Aren't you forgetting that every politician Obama endorsed in the last election LOST? His days are numbered. Even Cambridge, Mass is second guessing him.

    You're right. It is bullshit. A year is too conservative. Birther rumors actually circulated since he was running to be the Democratic nominee which would put it closer to THREE years. 

    FACT: Obama’s birth certificate initially became an issue during the Democratic Primary in early 2008 when Hillary Clinton supporters, from a blog called The Blue State, began questioning Obama’s eligibility to be President.

    From there, the seed was planted and once it got to Fox, it turned into a Redwood.

    tim, i think youre wrong. i think bush w. will go down as the worst. the big wigs/banks/richest people in the country were all in on the biggest scandal in american history. and then after the scandal ... they used fear to get even more money with the bailout .... so, i think obama took over at a terrible time and i think bush will go down as one of the worst ever.

    This is one of those debates that I wish I could stay away from, but I can't...most political debates are like that...

    Well here goes nothing.

    1. Callmetim quote "check his resume. He has never accomplished anything noteworthy to hold this office."

    -Please tell me you are joking...this is one of those statements people make just for the hell of it.

    In late 1988, Obama entered Harvard Law School. He was selected as an editor of the Harvard Law Review at the end of his first year, and president of the journal in his second year ....After graduating with a J.D. magna juice laude[36] from Harvard in 1991, he returned to Chicago.

    He then went on to become a published author and a Lecturer for Chicago Law School for the 12 YEARS. (U of Chicago Law School frequently ranks in the top 5 law schools in the World.)

    He also spent 11 years in the Illinois and U.S. senate before becoming President.

    Please Tim, if you're going to make a stupid argument on the internet, choose one that isn't so easily triumphed by data.

    I was going to go into other stuff, but I'm not spending half a day on this crap...
