    America Needs a White Republican President
    Consider...

    Admit it. You want a white Republican president again.
    Now before you start feeling like you’re a racist, understand you are not.

    Wanting a white Republican president doesn’t make you racist, it just makes you American.

    In the pre-black president era, criticizing the president was simply the American thing to do. An exercise of one’s First Amendment right. Criticism had nothing to do with color, because there had never been a black president, or at least one whom people recognized as black.

    So to criticize the president meant that you didn’t like his policies.

    The election of a recognized black president was not supposed to change anything. In fact, it was supposed to (1) ease any perceived racial tensions, and (2) allow the government to focus on legislating without race. So America would be more free than ever to discuss the issues.

    Not the case. And that is why having a white Republican president is best for the country.

    ..................

    African-American columnist Joseph Perkins has studied the effects of Reaganomics on black America. He found that, after the Reagan tax cuts gained traction, African-American unemployment fell from 19.5 percent in 1983 to 11.4 percent in 1989. Black-owned businesses saw income rise from .4 billion in 1982 to .1 billion in 1987—an annual average growth rate of 7.9 percent. The black middle class expanded by one-third during the Reagan years, from 3.6 million to 4.8 million.

    Real Politics reports Obama’s statistics as follows:

    Median family income for black Americans has declined a whopping 10.9 percent during the Obama administration…This decline does not include losses suffered during the financial crisis and the recession that followed, but it instead measures declines since June 2009, when the recession officially ended.

    That’s not the only bad news for African-Americans. The poverty rate for blacks is now 25.8 percent. The black labor force participation rate, which rose throughout the 1980s and 1990s, has declined for the past decade and quite sharply under Obama to 61.4 percent. The black unemployment rate, according to Pew Research, stands at 13.4 percent. Among black, male, high school dropouts, PBS’ Paul Salmon reports, the unemployment rate is a staggering 95 percent.
    That report was from 2011, and it’s gotten worse since then. Facts don’t lie. Yet blacks want to put Obama on Mt. Rushmore and hang Reagan in effigy.

    The only way you can argue with those stats is if you are a racist. Truth be told, most Liberal blacks are racists.

    Nobody wants to discuss it, because racism by black Liberals has been sanctioned by the Left, even encouraged. Black racists get a pass, as black race-baiters are unchallenged on the most idiotic ideas and statements.

    MSNBC’s Touré said that using the word “angry” to describe Obama is racist. Juan Williams of Fox News said that mentioning the Constitution is racist, and the list goes on.

    But it gets worse. These Lefty racists do a far bigger disservice to blacks and America in general, as they rationalize Obama’s (and the Left’s) inability to create opportunity. When their policies wreak havoc, they pose insane arguments. They say that Republicans are trying to starve people by reducing the welfare rolls that Liberals have happily increased by 16M Americans.

    Race-baiting, poverty-pimp Al Sharpton argued recently to keep 3M known deadbeats on welfare.

    Black racists don’t complain when black people are marginalized and insulted with policies that dumb down black America, like the lessening of academic standards. They are fine telling black youths that those youths are less smart than all other ethnic groups. Certainly no future ramifications from that policy, said nobody ever.

    These same racists allow for black children to be cheated in education and ultimately, opportunity, as their enablers—guilty white Liberal racists—turn a blind eye.

    I long for the days of a white president, because under white presidents, at least black people had pride. Liberals have stolen pride from blacks, and they have no intention of giving it back.

    At least if we had a white president, black people might have a shot of regaining a modicum of respect.

    I think america needs a white republican president like a hole in head. It is obvious your electors, given the choice, are of the same opinion. If you knew how to use the politics of consensus, you wouldn't think like this. What you need is a president with vision backed by a political system that can articulate that vision. You don't have this, so any president will do, since he is faced with watching an empass in the legislature

    Obama INHERITED a mess.

    The housing bubble peaked in 2006!
    The recession is considered to have 'begun' in mid 2007!
    Were all those bundled mortgage securities and derivatives and crap done by liberals, or blacks, or anyone but white conservatives?
    The wheels were grinding long before he took office!

    'I long for the days of a white president, because under white presidents, at least black people had pride. Liberals have stolen pride from blacks, and they have no intention of giving it back.' Say WHAT? Not even worth addressing.

    As for as black and white, I always saw Obama as black and white. If we put him on a black white scale, he would balance. Oh wait! He IS black and white.

    You sir are a terrible instigator. Lousy. Not worth foaming and flaming about. Do better. Or go buy some real estate in Midland and frack a duck. It's the new Greenwich, second to that city as richest zip.

    Indeed it did . It began in the 1990s when he was a community agitator demanding that banks ease their lending requirements to customers with poor credit. He filed a lawsuit on behalf of 186 clients claiming discrimination in home mortgages. 19 of the 186 still own a home and have a good credit rating .

    'Potential' is 'realized.' It's not that easy to slobber over fracking, much as I look forward to lower prices. Hopefully I'll be in the great beyond soon and won't have to agonize over fracking. One entire town in Texas lost it's water table completely thanks to fracking. Wait until the earthquakes start getting bigger. For now, they are small but vastly more frequent. And that doesn't even get into the proprietary chemicals, the contaminated water spewed out with nowhere to go... but hey, if they want to give me money for my land and then pay me off when I get sick (has happened to some) I'll be the first in my neighborhood. Too bad I'm just over the edge of the Marcellus.
    Oh and the GREED. They want permission to export instead of selling it here. Figure that one out. I guess it's more profitable to take it all to a seaport than truck it all over the US.

    As for Obama bringing down the banks as a community organizer? Please. That's like saying I brought them down by borrowing 30K to buy a house from my father and letting him not declare the interest I paid on his taxes because I didn't take the deduction. That's not a good comparison, but it's equally miniscule. How many bad loans were extended to whites with bad bad bad credit? More than 186, you betcha.

    JP Morgan was fined $13 BILLION today for fraudulently selling toxic securities that they promoted as triple AAA. The fine falls far short of the appropriate punishment.

    Until these guys get serious jail time, it will be business as usual, and Jamie will bask in the Hampton sun writing his memoirs. At least the settlement did NOT prevent other CRIMINAL legal actions in process against the boys.

    Blaming the financial disaster on Obama makes my head spin. I'll bet the next thing you claim will be that there WMDs in Iraq that caused GW Bush to invade.

    You guys, if nothing else, manage to give new meaning to the word "bizarre".

    I would rather have a moderate Democrat like Bill Clinton as president. The Republicans are no longer the sensible party of Eisenhower and Ford. The economy was booming when Clinton was president he wanted to get people off welfare, and he cared about the environment. The Republicans are not electable now that the tea party has hijacked the party. I think Hillary Clinton has a good chance in 2016.

    Oh Please Bo is not to blame for the excesses of your capitalist bankers. That Idea of fracking a duck is innovative. the only innovative idea I have seen here in a long time. Look fracking for gas isn't in itsself a bad idea, but like all innovative technologies it has to be regulated, particularly in regard to its environmental impacts. Fracking has its problems no matter where it is introduced

    Clete,
    I have quite a few friends in the US as well as family who now lives there. Not all republicans there are like the ones on this board. The ones here seem particularly venomous and bitter, others are more moderate and hold their views as personal.

    Evidently not if you think the Dems aren't heavily financed by big money, hiding in the background,. Big money financing Dem causes have been well documented on these boards . Even the left's piñata News Corp gives more to the Dems than their opponents.
