Barack Obama is not seeking Legacy

The author made that case.

 

Yes, you downplay his mother. His white family that raised him, that is responsible for whom he is today.

 

yes, his skin color is black, I am only going by skin color, he is the first black President

Hilary's parents are male and female, but she would still be the first female President

.

 

Pretty much the "Obama is half-black" line (along with other stuff in the cited article) is a dead giveaway of a racist rightwinger.


It's also ironic.....whenever I see one say that I ask-

"Okay, so if Obama is 'half-black'....if he were alive in 1954....where would he get to sit on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama?....."in the middle"?"

 

Too bad the public does not see the president job for what it really is.

As Trump manages his enterprises, our president merely is the most senior of many managers who all in all manage government.

 

of course, but were talking long term legacy, not here and now management of government duties

 

I think a large part of BO is he talked about growing up in Indonesia and being Muslim and that's what shaped him into being what he is today, rather than what he learned and experienced while living w/his white grandmother, whom he once described as a 'typical white grandmother'.....IOW's - nothing exceptional about her.

If Obama were a white Republican, conservatives would hail him as a savior.

Obama will be remember as the president who got us out of the worst recession in 80 years the last Republican president left him, despite a Republican controlled House and Congress that was doing its best to undermine him and the economy.

 

Obama's legacy is just sad. His biggest struggle is ensuring creepy old men get to legally sneak a peak at little girls in the restroom. What a guy!

 

And you believe so much in Obama that you were conned into believing he actually did that?

I get a kick too how you blame Bush for job losses.

Civics lessons aside, presidents do not do the things you listed.

 

If you read his loyal followers, they give him credit for things he never did nor ever was able to do.

A long list by one of his lackeys is a couple of posts above this post.

 

he didn't talk about "growing up" in Indonesia. He didn't grow up their. He didn't talk about "being muslim" as he is a Christian.

 

Where did I say he did anything? Strawman.

I don't even have the word "Bush" in my post. Strawman.

I didn't say Obama did anything. Civics lessons aside, presidents do not do most of the things folks blame them for. Strawman.

 

Please link and quote the source where Obama talked about "being Muslim."

The level of ignorance conservatives show is astounding, but doesn't surprise me any more.

 

If you read conservatives, anything negative is Obama's fault even things he had nothing to do with it.

But as for anything positive, he has nothing to do with it.

Another example of conservative hypocrisy by RW propaganda brainwashed acolytes..

 

Is Obama's mother white? Is his father black?

Than it follows that Obama is half-white, or half-black if you prefer (I don't think you do)

 

During the 08 campaign, Obama said he converted from Muslim to Christian, which I didn't believe then or now....that he's a Christian.

He talked about living in, 'growing up' in Indonesia. How many yrs, don't know but he said he lived there.

 

JFK wanted to send man to the moon.

Obama wants to send man into the ladies restroom.

 

please provide a citation for this.

he lived there for 4 years from the age of 3 to 7. he didn't grow up there.

 

He should never be blamed for things he did not do. But the narcissist seems to enjoy the attention he gets.

Why the book about an African father and no book about his mother or grandparents?

 

He will have the legacy of Bathroom Barry.

 

why do martians weigh less the humans?

 

But but, you are the poster that when discussing his legacy, comes up with a list then admits it does not mean he did any of the things on the list.

Hoosier told me his legacy is Bathroom Barry and I believe he is correct.

 

And you are certain there are Martians?

Were there Martians, they would be the same weight on Earth humans are of equal weight.

A human on Mars naturally weighs less than he does while on Earth.
