The Real Reason WHY Obama Is Hated So Much by The Right


what he said was that obama has increased the debt------------9 trillion to 16 trillion. debt and deficit are two different things.

he has also had a deficit of over a trillion every year.
 

What does that have to do with the fact that Obama has spent more money than Bush? The projected Bush deficit on the actual budget that Bush submitted was 400 billion dollars and Obama did indeed double that. I understand why you want to get hung up on words but the fact is when Obama took office the debt was 10.6 trillion and it is 16.2 trillion today. Did Obama halve any deficit as promised?
 
True, racist American will never, ever vote for a black president!

No, wait, this is 2012, not 2008. My mistake.

Still, until it happened, there was no reason to believe it would. White males don't have to have faith, they know based on history that it will happen. They have examples to point to. Someone had to be first before the claim of equality has any validity.
 

Just one more place where facts don't matter. Again, see the title of this thread.
 

Isn't Obama half white? Where does racism fit in? Are the blacks racists about Obama being half white? Do you realize how ridiculous this argument is? I guess when you don't have results to tout you run as if those results never happened and divert to emotional issues that appeal to the ignorant.
 

why is everything racial with you dems? why must you always interject race into every topic? Is it because racism is your only argument?
 

So, you're saying a black man cannot be elected?

It is a trumped up argument, Obama isn't hated personally, it is the results that are a disaster and how you can support those results is quite disturbing.

Where does racism fit into this issue? You simply cannot accept that it isn't racism but rather results on the ballot and if that is truly the case Obama should lose in a landslide

I don't think I injected it, but that's another issue. The fact is race still plays a role. We have not achieved Nirvana. Things are clearly better. But not perfect.

Isn't he? Explain the Birther nonsense? The extreme hyperbole? I'm sorry, but the extreme silliness does give rise to the question.

The birther incident is similar to the claim that Romney basically killed a woman by costing her healthcare coverage. There are kooks on both sides so eliminating the kooks focus on the results and results trump everything else as they should.

There remain many unanswered questions about obama's past. That is not nonsense or hyperbole. It is prefectly legitimate to want to know everything about the person that we put in the most powerful job in the world.

Why don't you care about his hidden past? why don't you care about his marxist mentors? why don't you care about his off-prompter remarks that reveal his true beliefs?

Is your hero worship so great that it overcomes logic and reason?
 


That is just not true. Largely people have manufactured controversy and questions that simply don't exist. Political entertainers have help fan that flame, but there is no legitimacy to those claims.

BTW, no where have I hero worshiped anyone.

Notice the Romney claim was dealt with quickly and done with. The Birther movement lives on. You don't see anyone of consequence excusing the claim that Romney killed anyone. Just go up a few posts and you'll see excuses for the Obama silliness.

Notice how Harry Reid has never apologized to Romney for claiming he didn't pay any taxes. Further I don't hate Obama, never have, but I do hate his policies and the results generated. That is what matters most to me.

First, he never claimed that Romney didn't pay taxes. He claimed that he was told that by a former Bain associate. Second, why would he apologize? It's not like Romney has proven him wrong.

Did he actually say "a former Bain Associate"? I never heard that. I always heard it as "he will not divulge his source".

Who cares if he ever apologizes. Hopefully he will be told by a President Romney that "elections have consequences".

How long are you being paid by the Obama campaign? After tomorrow do you come back to the real world and thus reality?

Which has what to do with anything. I denounced Reid for it. So did most. Again, it didn't play. But we still have birthers.
 
Just a reminder, this is the thread we're on:

The Real Reason WHY Obama Is Hated So Much by The Right

That is your opinion, mine is that the results matter to the majority that are voting against Obama. It is hatred of his policies and results more so than the claim he wasn't born in this country. way too late to battle that one. You seem to have a problem with defending the results.
 
Did he actually say "a former Bain Associate"? I never heard that. I always heard it as "he will not divulge his source".

Yeah, he said it was someone who worked at Bain with Romney, but he wouldn't give his name.
