hussein is a racist who can’t admit he is white like his momma.

nobma is a fluke.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

If he is, then the bar is embarrassingly low.

I completely agree! The guy had few peers. Would have liked to met and talked w/ him a bit. I think tho in the ‘black’ community he’s but a side note. Too bad.

nobama is a fluke.

[nobama] has his own unique place in history, which will be debated for centuries, but his being black doesn’t automatically turn him into the next MLK.

nobama is not black. He's mulatto

Note that the article sentence above could have just as easily referred to him as white.

White, mulatto, black, whatever. Mostly he's a Republic destroying Marxist bastard.

Frederick Douglass, George Washington Carver, General Daniel “Chappie” James, Clarence Thomas, Rep. J.C. Watts, Walter E. Williams, Thomas Sowell, Rep. Allen West...these are men to be held up as role models for everyone. There are thousands of Americans who can be named that come before the Marxist Usurper who currently occupies the White House. Barry Soetero is a done-nothing, know-nothing street agitator who was elected by an activist, leftist media and an uninformed public. History will remember him as a bigger failure than Jimmy Carter.

First off it must be noted that he's 50% white (genetically) and was raised by whites...most of whom,it would appear,were "typical white people".

But going on the premise that he's black...he's certainly the most *successful* black peron ever...but *greatest*? For the sake of black folks everywhere I CERTAINLY HOPE NOT!

Had BO been born to a white Christian mother and a black father - descended from slaves - with deep American roots - he could have been a great healer and uniter.

Sadly, he has shown no desire to unite us - rather he is driving us apart - rich vs. poor, black vs. white, Christian vs. secular, etc.,

There are many great black Americans who have excelled in a wide variety of industry and academia. They are the true inspiration to Americans of all creeds & color.

Please post intelligently.

Can't. Laughing too much.

Obama’s legacy as an African American historical figure should be judged primarily by tangible evidence of his sacrifices and gifts to the black community, and not by his popularity among the white community the descendants of our historical oppressors.

plain english version - the racism never stops does it?

[unkus]

obama is a sorry excuse for a human being. He’s one evil bastard.

[LibLieSlayer]

His path of destruction has been wide and deep... and if he had his way he would "eliminate" all of his "enemies"... so he is somewhat like Idi Amin... so with regards to demonic black despots... he is right up there with Mugabe and Idi.

I thought they gave a standing ovations to Meryl Streep & Christopher Plummer

[Oztrich Boy]

Don't be silly. In a list that includes Aesop, Hannibal, Cleopatra, Zenobia, Askia the Great, the Mahdi, Robert Browning, Dom Pedro, Alexandre Dumas, Socrates, and many others, Obama rates very low indeed.



As the great black writer Shakespear said "hoist by his own petard"

[Doc Savage]

He’s a MULATTO! As far as being great, I flushed a turd today that was much greater than this POS!

Is President Obama Among The Greatest Black Men Ever?

Maybe it's me but, aren't great men,of any color, supposed to have accomplished.....something first?

[SMARTY]

Chance + time + FRAUD

And Octavia Spencer is the greatest actress! Why else would she get the only standing ovation at the Academy Awards?

Yeah, I thought that was ridiculous, too.
