Virginia Democratic Rep. Jim Moran is blaming his party's losses last November in large part on voters who "don't want to be governed by an African-American."
The comments were made following President Obama's State of the Union speech Tuesday during an interview with Arab network Alhurra.

The irony is that Obama was elected because he was black, not despite his being black. Millions of morons voted for him for his color alone, primarily guilt ridden whites. Another irony is that he is a black (half-black) who was raised by honky whites. Personally, I’d have been much more satisfied if Thomas Sowell had been elected president, despite his being black. Moran is an idiot. It’s about political philosphy, not race. Obama had the thinnest resume in history. Fact is, he would’ve never been considered except for being black.
Moron is aptly named.
I object more to his being red than black!
Voters who don’t want to be governed by the wrong person, no matter their skin color, no matter their gender. The gentlemen should have the matter clarified for him since he is obviously a bigot.
Yes, I have a real problem being governed by an African American Marxist. I would have no problem being governed by Walter Williams or Thomas Sowell.
How very “civil” of the Rep Moron (sp)?
TT
Moran the moron. Swap Walter Williams for
Obama. Orders of magnitude better. Alan Keyes
as well. Plenty of bright, conservative black men
who can run circles around Obama. Our problem
is with a hard left socialist, anti-American muslim
who pretends eligility for the office.
“I object more to his being red than black!”
Right...
I will take a black American any day over a black Marxist.
He has a point. I can think of one African-American that I do not want to be governed by—at least after 2012.
I don’t like his White half anymore than his Black half!
It’s the communism, Moron.
I beg to differ, but Obama precisely meets the most honest definition of an "African-American".
Those of us with ancient family roots in Africa are the ones stretching the definition. The last person in my family to have been born in Africa is lost in the mists of time to us. Our family tree is also full of Europeans and Native Americans, like most every other black American family.
Obama Sr. was 100% pure African, so Zero is the real thing.
Herman Cain is a great and very much appreciated voice and leader for our very soon to be expanded conservative majority.
WooHoo! Love it!
Yeah, sure. It’s all about race. It has nothing whatever to do with the mounting debt and having Obamacare forced down our throats.
One part of the racial equation does motivate me, though: I am very mad about the DOJ stonewalling concerning the New Black Panther Party, and reports that DOJ refuses to prosecute race related crimes committed by minorities. I believe this is a valid issue for the 2012 election.
That is just utter and complete bullshit. The American people are not blind. They had full knowledge of 0bama’s race when they elected him. What was unknown to some was his communist ideology.
Then how did he get elected?
If anything Americans should have learned from this is that any Presidential candidate that uses a hyphen to describe their nationality they are not fit for the Whitehouse! The hyphenated Obama clearly has done more to destroy race relations in the country than to bring people together. He's a divider not a uniter.
All the conservatives I know don't even consider skin tone in the discussion of a person.
