No I do not think Obama will serve two terms. As unemployment continues to rise and it will those who are unemployed will not vote for Obama. As taxes go up as they will with the policies they have up in Congress Americans are already having a tough time making ends meet and they won’t forget that Obama took from them. In 2010 I beleive we will see 1994 replayed again. American’s seem to need to be taught a lesson every 30 years or so about how liberal polices really work out.

"I read somewhere that Obama will mess this country up so bad, there will not be another black president."

I did not read that statement but I have felt that way from the day he got elected. This country will never again elect an affirmative action president. The people will not be fooled twice.

The drive-by media has been waiting for an opening where they can blame Obama’s horrendous failure of a presidency on anything other than his own actions and incompetence.

Ha ha ha. They've made their 'opening' over the previous eight years and it's called George W. Bush. Lefties are still blaming most everything that they don't like on Bush. And most of the MSM is white if I recall properly, and they shamelessly compromised their core principles to promote a black man to be president while hiding his myriad defects. Is this reverse racism, or mostly just the Left as a whole selling their souls to cheap partisanship using race as leverage?

Obama has convinced me never again to listen to anyone who identifies a person’s race. I do not give a damn if you are black or if the Presdient is black or if the presidential candidate is black, red or purple. I hate Obama’s character (or lack thereof}, I hate Obama’s politics, I hate Obama’s world view. I hate Obama’s efforts to undermine our constitutional principles. It has nothing to do with his race. He is a race baiter and was elected as such. Don’t mention race, I don’t care—not a reason for, not a reason against.

Great and prescient article! I said shortly after the election that 0bama’s inexperience and ultra-leftism is going to ensure that a qualified and capable black candidate in the future gets denied the office out of of fear of a repeat of 0bama’s failures.

I don’t care if the qualified black candidate is a Republican or a Democrat, he (or she) will suffer for 0bama’s bad decisions. It won’t be fair, but it’ll be understandable. Remember, it’s “historical” and all that.

but it sure as hell will set black aspirations to political power back a whole bunch - maybe more than 50 years.

I agree. The thought process will go; "If THAT'S what a black politician brings us, we don't want another one.

Unfortunately for the MSM, the blame Bush mantra is falling apart with every passing day. And they know it so time to look for something else.

“I’ve always dreamed of what it would be like to have a Black President before Barry Dunham became president.

I’ve hoped that this president would be a Conservative rather than a Democrat because black conservatives have a unique perspective. (To somewhat quote Judge Sotamyhitler)”

Thanks, I enjoyed your post. I think most of us experience some form of bigotry in our lives, some more than others. But, as you say, the key is to just keep trucking along and don’t let the other person weigh too heavily on you. Being successful requires that you put a lot of crap behind you.

Many successful people have overcome big obstacles: Clarence Thomas, Charles Krauthammer, and many, many, many injured veterans of foreign wars like Sen. Bob Dole.

Maybe no race war because blacks are getting whacked a lot worse than whites economically by Zero’s wild spending spree and policies, and they’re shutting up and taking it in the name of ‘racial solidarity’. Like all those Zim billionaires who have had their life expectancies cut in half by Mugabe and are apparently liking it well enough because he, after all, is definitely not white. The Democrats definitely still have blacks on the Lefty plantation - the beauty part for the Lefties is that they’ve managed to install the whip crackers in the blacks’ own heads now.

Forget President Obama.

Think entrepreneurial black liberals.

The civil rights and victims industries have the highest return on investment (ROI) of any legal business, I bet.

As long as that is true there can never be a "post racial" era.

How much does it cost to keep the pot stirred?

Umm, kiddo.... read again. I *bashed* Obama’s character and called him a race baiter as well as a quitter who’s never faced anything difficult in his life. You should read the post again and probably drink a nice sleepytime tea bag.

“I highly doubt it, I will bet you a red penny blacks will vote 95% for Obama again.”

I’ll take the over on that bet.

Thanks for your post and perspective. I am white, but I honestly feel bad that future generations of blacks will be stuck with the legacy of Obama as the first black president. I wish the first black president would have been a great man.

It’s all Colin Powell’s fault.:) If he had run in ‘96 we might well have had a nominally conservative black president who I would have voted for. It’s also the Illinois Republican Party’s fault for running Peter Fitzgerald out of office in 2004, which allowed 0bama to be installed in his spot.

Good point. We've paid what, how many billions of dollars into that ongoing reparations scam known as welfare and 'public assistance'? And blacks have done what with it to further themselves as individuals and as citizens of this nation? Bupkis. I ain't running a soup kitchen here. I want my damned money back.

"black conservatives have a unique perspective"

"Many of us grew up poor and we know what it’s like to pull ourselves up from our bootstraps and never quit until we get to the top"

Whites aren’t born poor? Whites don't dig deep to succeed? Blacks persevere, Whites don’t?

What kind of racist crap is that? You’re not so special. Cripes!

He didn't say there aren't any whites who were born poor. He didn't say whites don't dig deep to succeed. And he most certainly did not say that blacks persevere while whites don’t.

You read what isn't there with all the skill of a witch-hunting liberal.

One thing that gets me is how parochial most ‘anti-white’ atitudes are in the USA, as if billions of people across the world aren’t conducting their business very much the same way as US ‘whites’ do and therefore billions of people are ‘acting white’ across the world. Makes anti US white attitudes look sort of mean and ignorant.

You quoted sentences 2 and 3 from a long post. None of your deductions are found anywhere in TypeZoNegative’s comments.
