I have to vehemently DISAGREE with this statement. MILLIONS of people voted for Obama ONLY because they wanted to tell their children and grand children that they helped elect the first black president of the US.

I personally asked dozens of people, including my own children and in-laws, "Why did you vote for Obama?" and the majority of them answered, "Because he is black."

Obama was NOT elected because of his experience, because he doesn't have any. Obama was not elected because of his intelligence, because it is average. Obama was elected because he is handsome, a good speaker and black. None of these qualify him to be president.

Latest poll shows that 93% of blacks approve of the job Obama is doing and around 40% of whites. While some of the whites may be racist, I venture to say that a vast majority of blacks are racist.

Let me put it this way, if Obama were Caucasian and EVERYTHING ELSE was the same, Hillary Clinton would be president today.

It is NOT racist for me to say that Obama was elected because he is black, it is FACT.

Health care reform needs to address COST, SERVICE and AVAILABILITY. Forcing folks to have Health Insurance is like forcing folks to have Life Insurance. It is WRONG.

Unless you address TORT reform, Anti Trust practices, and outright FRAUD, you will never address Health Reform correctly.

Here are a few anecdotal samples: Medicare paying $2,000.00 for a wheel chair. A hospital buying a twenty nine cent item and charging $120.00 for it to the Health Insurance Company. A hospital charging $50.00 for one tylenol. Most doctor's I know pay six figures just for mal-practice insurance.

Unless you address the real CORE of the problem, nothing will get fixed. But Washington is full of attorneys and Insurance Lobbyist, thus stonewalling true health care reform.

First off, I really want to keep this civil, intelligent discourse, please. Next, prove what you say, if possible.

To me, there are three main reasons that Scott Brown won.

1. He ran a better campaign. He ran an "Obama Like" campaign.

2. People do not want the health care reform bill that is currently being bantered around Washington. Most polls show a 60-70% AGAINST the current bill.

3. People are really beginning to see that the government cannot create jobs nearly as efficiently as the Private Sector.

There are a myriad of other reasons, but let's face it, Obama's honeymoon is OVER. The Dems honeymoon is over. NOW, they have to listen to THE PEOPLE.

I will start a new thread, this one is getting old. WHY did Scott Brown win?

Senator Scott Brown!!! It's just the BEGINNING! America is finally seeing all the smoke and mirrors that are Obama.

No more "centrist" Republicans! True RIGHT WING values! Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness!!!

Easy way out. The last 3 rentals I purchased were built after 1978. 2 were built after 2000. This also keeps your repairs well below the "50% rule".

Rich, my 3 have mortgages, but all my parents, save 1, are free and clear. I plan to leverage my parents to about 50% before 2020.

Rich, I couldn't agree more. When I see someone, I use the Dr. Martin Luther King approach, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." I NEVER look at someone's race, it is of NO CONSEQUENCE. And anyone who voted FOR Obama because of his race is a RACIST.

The "...content of their character..." That rules out Obama.

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele on Sunday called on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to resign for describing Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign as "light-skinned" with "no Negro dialect" unless he wants to have one.

Like I have always said, it is the Dems who are racists. From the time the Dems fought President Lincoln on his anti-slavery stance, Dems are the ones who want to keep the minorities 'down.' Today, it is to get their votes.

Rich
I really admire you. You are successful in your personal and professional life. You remind me a little of my father.

I still believe that Obama will go down as THE WORST president this country has ever had, mainly because he doesn't have a single clue. He may have intelligence, but he has no common sense, no ability to reason, and like you said, the worst 'associates' of any president, ever.

Hopefully, a majority of American's will get over their "slobbering infatuation with the first black president" and elect someone who has a clue. I am pulling for Mitt Romney, personally.
