[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the unleashed racism and hatred of elites that got Trump elected was in direct response to what Obama embodied. So yes but for different reasons. [/quote]
What racism? Surely you're not going to dig out that Charlotteville example again, comprising 1/100,000 of 1% of the popualtion? (Less, even.) The fact of the matter is that if racism were as prevalent as you claim, Obama wouldn't have won. (My vote: 2008/Obama, 2012/Romney, 2016/Trump.)

Obama was a bland President. In my opinion the only way to explain the over the top HATRED of him is racism. W was hated because he got a bunch of troops killed. No other President since like, Nixon/LBJ have been as LOATHED as Obama. It just doesn't make sense.

The types of things he did, overreach etc, those happened in prior presidencies.

The only other thing I can think of is that Obama was elected kind of in line with the dawn of the 24/7 news cycle and mainstream of the internet.

But it just doesn't make sense, on paper he is not an extraordinary President for anything OTHER than being black. [/quote]

Think harder.

Condescending even to people in his party.

Couldn't get a thing done even when his party ran Congress -- for example immigration.

Attended for decades a church with an America-hating reverend.

A riot a month.

Syrian, Lybia and Israel debacles.

Oops, Crimea and Ukraine debacles too.

Slowest recovery in recorded history.

Doubled US public debt.

You must live in lalaland.
