Quote from IShopAtPublix:
Comments like that reaffirm my belief that I am better served in the democratic party.
Barack Obama was in large part raised by his grandparents. Jem implied here that this was some kind of a privilege which is a load of crap. Barack Obama could have easily grown up to be a rapist or a loser of a human being with 8 baby mamas and no sense of commitment or responsibility. Given the problem of shortage of responsible black men(and men in general), Obama is exactly the kind of person that republicans should put on a pedestal while they spend every living breath trashing the guy. These people are animals. I tip my hat to someone who while being predisposed to avoiding commitment is happily married with 2 daughters, got multiple degrees and achieved success in life.
Given the same set of circumstances, your goldenboy Romney would have been lucky to be a greeter at wal mart.
Only a moron would say ABO because there are WAY worse man to be. ABO is just a substitute for "I can't form a cohesive argument as to why I don't like Obama besides the crap fed to me by fox news and rushlimbaugh" It was very telling to me to see triple a in the beltway post something like "... he is a conservative now". Romney could be an NRA member "now" or an honest human being "now" as opposed to "always".
I did not imply anything about privilege... I simply countered your statement about him growing up during the civil rights era.. with the fact he did not grow up here in the 48.
If you wish to go into his childhood and how that prepared him to be a great president - please put some facts on the table about his childhood or his presidency.
