The possibility of this happening makes me SICK!

[SkyDaddy7]

All the economic policies of Obama's administration have done far more than folks at the time he took office thought they would...Folks were saying unemployment could stay above 10% for 3-5yrs back in 2009. Not only did he save us from total collapse he also stopped overall job losses in his 1st year & has created more than 5 million jobs since...Corporate profits are higher than they have ever been, the stock market has nearly doubled saving countless 401Ks & helping get back much of the money lost due to the near collapse. I could go on & on...And I know this won't be very popular here but Obama keeping Ben Bernanke was a good move as well because he has studied such collapses his entire life & knew very early on what to do.

However, now America is doing better than any of the richest countries in the world even China because of Obama's policies...Now the country is set to create 12 million jobs over the next 4yrs regardless who is elected!!! If Romney wins then he will take full credit for fixing the economy & the American people will think he is the new Reagan or whatever...IT MAKES ME LITERALLY SICK JUST THINKING ABOUT IT!!

Sorry, but if Obama was white I think he would be getting far more credit for what he has done with the economy...I hate when folks use the race card for no reason but I know many people who have been life long Democrats who refuse to vote for Obama! They claim it has nothing to do with his race but it is obvious it does. I know I live in one of the most racist states in the South but this is happening all over the country! I honestly think if Obama was white this election would not even be close!! Obama has run an almost perfect campaign except for one poor debate performance & even with that the polls seem to be what they were prior to the conventions.

I wish others in the media had the journalistic integrity to report this...

2. They fuck it up, we get the blame. We fix it, they take the credit

W. Bush came into office with a stable economy, a surplus budget and a country at peace.

He left it with two raging wars, an economy on the brink of disaster and a record budget deficit.

When 9/11 hit, they tried to blame Clinton.

When Obama policies killed bin Laden, they tried to say Cheney's policies did it.

It truly is sickening that their policies are a disaster, but that too many Americans don't have the attention span or the memory of a hummingbird.

3. Obama would have to be white and a republican to get credit for what he has done.

They hate both of those things.

4. I don't think his blackness has as much to do with it

as his party affiliation. Clinton pulled the country out of the Bush I recession and got little credit. If Hillary had been elected and pulled us out of the Bush II depression, it would be the same story.

7. I didn't say it's not a factor at all

But Fox Nation and GlenBeckistan hate everything Dem. The run-up to the re-electing any other Dem right now would be almost as vicious.

This statement in the OP

Sorry, but if Obama was white I think he would be getting far more credit for what he has done with the economy.

is false. Hillary wouldn't be getting "far more credit".

6. No one ever demanded from Clinton to show his birth certificate

Or depicted Clinton as an African witch doctor.

Or called Clinton a "Muslim" like it was a bad thing.

Or called Clinton a "thug" who hangs around other thugs.

Or a host of other things.

You may not think that the President's race is a big deal, but they certainly do.
