If Obama were White?!!

I definitely agree with you on that. If I'm not mistaken close to 70% of our CA state budget is already determined by voter propositions. That's way too much to me. In theory I like that we have the proposition system to give voice to the people but in reality it doesn't work well. And you are right, our state politicians would rather pass tough issues onto voters in propositions than make decisions themselves.

actually, the legislature passes things off to the voters via referendums

as for the propositions, sometimes they are bought by out of state interests...like the way the mormons bought prop 8

bummer

ps i tend to agree with you on this too

the question or discussion wasn't over whether Nixon was a good or bad President it was about the route (offices held) each took as a prior to becoming President.

true, but tricky dick made a bad vp...i still dislike him for the excrement he produced
 
If Obama were white he would not be the president, because he would not be useful enough for the plutocracy that put him in the White House.

Hillary Clinton would be the president. The Clinton's have always been useful slaves to the corporate will .. but Obama is the greatest invention they have ever come up with.

Now, they can do ANYTHING they want without opposition.

anything?

examples please, because until ted kennedy died, the dims have not been able to do much at all, which may be what the oligarchy that runs this nation may want after all

i am rather surprised that the tax on the wealthy was passed

as for background checks on all firearm purchases (with an approval rating among voters of over 90%) may fail for a lack of votes in congress

bummer

Your post assumes that you have integrity. When you cannot address the obvious, and choose adolescent graphics instead, you've clearly illustrated the parameters of your 'integrity'.

I understand that this place tends to resemble a playpen from time to time. Come around to the adult section when you get your diaper changed.

You come on the board trying to talk trash and then want to call others childish? That's why you are getting mocked.

Our unemployment rate is higher than it 'could' be, because unlike Reagan/Bush/Bush 2.0, Obama CUT public sector jobs. Can you say the same about the way the aforementioned addressed the recessions they endured?

There's nothing factually wrong with what I stated. You are stating the unemployment rate is higher than it should be because of less public employees. And would you like to give some examples of when I haven't used facts in the past because it's obviously on your mind.

I don't think race plays much into this. Sure there were folks who voted for him due to his race - and AAs who though he'd be more sympathetic to them as a whole - and those who voted against him for the same reason. I don't know the numbers, but there was likely a balance.??????????????????????????

You gotta be kiddin'......94% of AA's supported Obama.

Either you're the most uninformed clown in town or the stupidest.......

You stated something about Hersh/Think Progress. That's all you offered. You refuse to accept the facts about public sector jobs, and how that applies to the unemployment numbers.

How boring. Show me how many of them voted based on race, or this isn't a discussion.

As much as serving eight years in a state legislature? No.

But of course you voted for McCain and the half term quitter.

Actually I didn't vote in 2008 but I'm not sure what that has to do with what we were discussing.

NDAA and the Patriot Act .. no concern about the massive poutrage that greeted Bush.

The attack on Libya without provocation or congressional oversight. In fact, with Obama in office, the corporatists can attack any nation without much opposition. No concern about the protests that greeted George Bush. In fact, Obama can attack Africa .. no outrage .. even from African-Americans. Let the white guy try it.

Obama passed 98% of the Bush tax cuts .. made them permanent. No outrage

No closing of Gitmo. No outrage.

Obama attacks medical marijuana after promising not to. No outrage.

Attacks civil liberties. No outrage.

Kills Americans without trial. No outrage.

Obama is droning planet earth and murdering lots of innocent people .. including women and children and babies. No outrage.

Obama is going to cut Social Security and Medicare .. and the democrats won't say shit

I could go on .. but you get the point.
