I would tell him that he is going to have to grow up and get a job because the gravy train just dried up.

Tell the kiddo's like Jimmy Carter before him, he was a big ass mistake.

Completely unqualified and sent packing after one anti-capitalist, big government, economically disastrous term.

No, not....strikes me as a BS question to ask a kid, myself. I’m tired of hearing about the great significance and the import of electing a black man to the Presidency.. We’ve seen what it got us, why the heck dwell on it?

Tell them that if they don’t do a good job, they can be fired. That’s the way life is for everyone, no matter their color, if there is fairness.

How well someone does a job has nothing to do with their color.

Gasp!

When I was younger the city I lived in had exactly one black family out of population of fifty thousand. In those days, fifty years ago, religion was many times a big divider. I was raised a Catholic and heard a number of times people say they hated Catholics. I’m sure there were Catholics who said they hated Protestants. How did it affect me? Just about nothing at all. For one thing I had close Protestant friends, so I knew they weren’t evil, and they knew I wasn’t evil. I don’t let the fact people, (Islamists, Lefists) hate me for what I and my country are bother me much. I ignore them.

First of all - tell them the truth.

Obama might have black skin, but he has nothing in common with you. He knows nothing about the real Black America. He had a privleged upbringing & has never lived in a black neighborhood in his life.

He's been a phony liar & we are lucky that he will no longer be the President.

Tell him to break free of the leftist machine that chose a mess of a puppet to run.

Tell him about Aunt Pelosi and Uncle Reid putting their puppet vehicle for government takeover of health care on mute as they schemed over largess.

Ask him why he thought an unqualified, inexperienced political gun-for-hire was mainlined into the role?

Then tell him to grow up and drop the race card if he wants to aspire sentient being status.

Tell them that his election in 2008 shows that American isn't racist. Then tell them that, even though you get an opportunity in America, that is no guarantee of success. You must work hard and give the public (whether clients, or customers, or voters) to keep your job and be successful. Obama's ideas didn't keep as many voters as happy as some other ideas might.

Or you can choose to teach them that America is racist, that they have no hope, and that they should be miserable, lazy, vindictive, and offended all their lives.

It's up to the parents to decide what kind of outlook to instill in their child. These are the primary options.

What do I tell my black child if Barack Obama, America's first black president, loses his bid for re-election?

Boy, that is a tough one.

Millions of white voters who voted for Obama in 2008 are voting against Obama in 2012. Did they all just turn into racists during the past four years or were they always racists who just figured out that Obama is black?

Maybe you could tell your child that there are some people who judged Obama not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character?

Nah, just tell your child that the evil racist Republicans stole the election.
