Yes, he's black by the standards used in the United States. Basically, if you have a skin tone that will cause security to follow you around a store at the mall, you're black.


even though white people, even by percentage, actually cause more crimes


Yep, even though. But that's another topic.

Why do people hate him? Partly because he is an African-American President, partly because he is a President.
Check out how popular Clinton and Bush were back in their time.They didn't do any better than Barack Obama.If Mitt Romney had won he'd be hated just about the same.

According to that, he's given 460 million dollars to Israel in 2014 alone. That's not hating Israel.

You know, making you pay for your own shit isn't throwing you under the bus.

If you want Israel to get the benefits of being a US territory, it should act like one.

It isn't about race for almost everyone who dislikes him. Also, in what world were Clinton and Bush popular? Clinton was impeached and Bush ended with like a 15% approval rating.

"Because hes a communazi liberal democrat kenyan muslim atheist jew NWO scumbag".
That's what I got from folks since his presidency in 2009.
For so long, Mankind has been plagued by division. Division by culture, creed, skin color, religion and nationality. These very divisions have been the cause of most human conflicts. But in the age of globalism, we can finally have that chance to implement a world government where all human beings are seen as equals. Isn't that what everyone wants? World peace? I do. You should support that too. It may not end all conflicts, but the reductions of Man on Man violence will be at an all time low when the entire planet gets administered by one governing body.

There are more differences than similarities, though if Obama and Bush happen to be close together on whatever your pet cause is, then I can see how it would look otherwise.

Exactly who is saying that Obama's race makes him better as a President?

Yes, he's black by the standards used in the United States. Basically, if you have a skin tone that will cause security to follow you around a store at the mall, you're black.


Obama continued the droning, mercilessly persecuted and locked up whistleblowers, war in Afghanistan, doing nothing about racism and even racist murder in the police force, kept Guantanamo open, kept the torture programs going, invaded a sovereign nation (Libya) much in the same way as Iraq, supplied weapons to terrorists in Syria, did as good as nothing about climate change, did not diminish the ridiculous military spending (55% of the entire US budget), ...

I don't see much difference between him and the last president.

I think Francois Hollande's bedroom adventures might have a lot to do with his 5% approval rating, but that's just me.

But yeah, we always hold such high expectations for every President and we always get let down. I think the issue here is that Obama's presidency was built up so massively -- the Democrats acted like it would be an end to racial conflict (like when people waved the "Free at last" signs at Obama's first inauguration). But really, he's just as incompetent as any white guy would've been.

Except that the US has largely moved past that point in our history. So a theoretical American annexation of Israel wouldn't likely go down that road.

But you know, cheap shots at history is a decent enough substitute for having anything intelligent or meaningful to say, I guess.
