    I remember all the women weeping in August of 1977, when the news hit the shipyard. There were 12,000 working. The men were just shocked.

    Obama was elected president for one main reason: He was a "nonthreatening black man". Like Colin Powell the kind of black man that millions of white Americans had been wanting to elect president for years to show they were not racists and make history. But they would never vote for a black man they saw as some kind of radical bomb thrower (a Jesse Jackson type) but Barack Obama filled the bill perfectly.

    They were thinking of "young sexy Elvis" who was fixed in their memories. Not "old, fat, druggy Elvis" who is the one who actually died.

    It was the talent Obama was born with that caused him to rise to the top. The average anybody can get mere education.

    Oh please. Drop the crap you sound like a shrill little partisan hack that is drowning in the koolaid. Neither one is an idiot neither one is a rocket scientist. I doubt there is 5 points between them let alone thirty.

    Worked his butt off?

    Hardly. He obtained all his good fortune via affirmative action.

    You could actually say, he didn't build that...

    Maybe there is something to this "white privilege". I attended an engineering school at a university where my wife's uncle attended about the same time I was born. And then my son attended the same university. It had a white campus and a red campus. We all did very well in life and the white campus was a whole lot nicer than the red campus. Must be "white privilege".

    Your opinion of Obama is not shared by everyone. If the country had wanted another 4 - 8 years of Obama policies, they would have elected Hillary!

    Give it a rest he graduated from Wharton did he not? You don't manage that if you are an idiot no matter how much money your old man's got. What's Obama got? The most non threatening black guy award from Harvard? The dude couln't speak five minutes without a teleprompter without sounding like some guy on an athletic scholarship from some directional school. And he couldn't go that long without saying the word I. In fact I was the most commonly used word in his speeches other uh when his teleprompter went down.

    I guess I benefited from "white privilege". My mother graduated from Henderson State University (at one time the cheapest four year college in the United States) she and my dad contributed some money to them off and on over the years. My three older sisters all graduated from there before me.

    Of course there were plenty of African Americans and Middle Easterners there as well so I'm not sure who helped them.

    The biggest fraud in American political history. Handpicked by Soros, fooled millions of Democrats and Liberals not only in the USA but also in the world. Bailed out the Wall Street, bailed out the banks, not a single criminal got convicted for heinous crimes against ordinary Americans, almost completely destroyed the U.S middle class etc...At the same time the DNC and liberal elites enriched themselves.

    Both men are EXTREMELY intelligent and very funny, though in very different ways. (3 Stooges vs Marx Bros.)

    Trump likes to operate somewhat off the chain, however.

    Both are elitist lackeys, but with Trump, there's always that hope that he'll actually act in accord with his better angels.

    With the Big O, it was disappointment after disappointment; the only good things he did were commuting Manning and the Iran deal.

    And the aristocracy/deep state convinced Trump to undo the Iran deal. :(

    Ya I wish my pops didn't spend all that time in a coal mine then FMC with seven children and I too could have had a better start too! So I did the next best thing and worked long side Mexicans, Blacks, Koreans, and every other less than privilege American and in some cases FOR those less than privilege folks.

    The leftist whining is more than compensation for all my years of less than privilege suffering ;)

    His Teflon ways, like those of Reagan and BClinton, marked him for great personal accomplishment.

    Trump is INCREDIBLY intelligent; to deny this is to deny reality.

    Oh wait... :blowkiss:

    I'm just shocked there isn't a Democrat yet proposing the 'final solution' to white men in America(and no white ladies, you wouldn't be spared either) lol. It's not Godwin, it's simply the next logical step. Unless anyone here would like to openly say they'd denounce such a thing if a mainstream democrat politician said it.

    You dont know that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He locked up his records.

    I question his IQ. The only way he can speak in public was when he was reading from his teleprompter. And that all came from a speech writer. When he had to talk with out his teleprompter he was a babbling fool.

    Being a legacy does not decrease how tough it is to get into an ivy. You still have to get the grades, letters of rec etc. My son had classmates who were legacies and who had siblings that did not get in.
