A brand new campfire, with no other primitives having arrived at it so far. [edit] I spoke too soon. This one is growing fast, and may be worth a row over.

What is the best argument you can make for Barack Obama?
That he seems incapable of making for himself?
"He's not a Republican" is not a strong enough argument to win the next election.
Perhaps you might say that he saved us from another Great Depression? At least, so far, if the Republicans don't screw it up even more?
Perhaps you might argue that his stimulus program, although too small, kept unemployment from going to 12% or 13%?
Perhaps you might say that he put country over Party and saved this country from unknown hardships?
Perhaps you might argue that history will judge him as one of our greatest Presidents?
Let's try to focus on the positive. Give us the big picture.

5. He's are[sic] first Black President
Really stupid DUmmies are among "are" favorites!
And this DUmbass gives us random capitalization as a bonus.
We get the first black president and also the first wookie.

He's never met a vacation he's afraid of.

Let's see…an argument for the unicorn keeper? Hmm.
He's American through and through? Nah. We can't really say that. He may be American. He may not be. Who knows for sure.
He was an academic superstar? Nope. We can't say that with any real assurance as he's blocked all of his transcripts.
He only takes a job he has the experience to handle? No. He ran for president without any executive experience in government or the private sector so that one is out.
He's a black man? Well, his skin is dark, but his mother was white. This would make him a half-white man.
He's a great supporter of our allies? I think we have to rule this one out. I'm sure Israel would agree with me on this one.
He's a Christian? I'm not really sure that we can go with this one. He does claim to be a Christian, but he also claimed to be the one we've been waiting for. I'm pretty sure that I wasn't waiting for him. He also seems to show more solidarity with non-Christians than with Christians.
He's a financial genius? This one might be close to accurate as he is living large. The problem is that he's living large on the work of others. He's not really doing anything to improve the country's financial situation.
He's a great speaker? Yeah, I suppose an argument could be made for this UNTIL the teleprompter breaks down and then he makes Elmer Fudd sound eloquent.
Man, this is tough. The list of things is running out. Wait a minute! I've got it! An argument for the unicorn keeper! I've actually got TWO!!!!
1. He bows to our enemies real well.
2. He can convince ignorant idiots to vote for him.
-
He's a clean articulate man, who only speaks the negro dialect when he wants too.
Before you call me racist, remember that those words is a combination of statements by our Vice President and Senate Majority leader.
-
He's so photogenic!

Reason #2 is caused by reason #1and is reason enough for stupid leftists to vote for him.

No.
Has anyone ever actually read one of nadinostradamus's books, to see if she writes that way in them too, or if she has an alert editor correcting her?

His new ads should feature him eating an Oreo. A black shell with a white middle that is so Lickable.
( is that racist? no really, is that racist? I think I stole it from "The Jeffersons" )

Well, it's a sure bet that her little dungeons 'n' dragons pamphlet was a vanity work, so no real editor ever laid eyes on it.
She may have had someone down at the bodega read through it and mark it up, but it's unlikely she has acquaintances whose command of English is any better than hers.
-
Well, lets see....he's black....and.....and....and....and he's black.
And he's black. That's all liberal DUmmies needed to know.

So, it's a kid's book. :rimshot:

Uh huh. He's black, and so we have to cut the Magic One some slack.
The rest of us are getting tired of the primitives' racist meme; it won't work next year.

Hey, don't forget he is black.
If only reality were affirmative action orientated we would have a great president now. When you think about it, reality is racist.

Exactly Frank, there can only be one 'first'. He was the 'first' (not counting Bubba) Black pResident. It will be fine with me if he comes in 'second' in the 2012 election. Bloom is off the rose and all that sort of thing. ::)
Now this may not set well with the dummies but a vast number of independents will look at it as "We gave him his turn, now lets get someone who can actually get things back on track." Heck I don't even think Vesta will be silly enough to vote for Obama again just "to shake things up." ( but then I am ever the optimist )
Most of the lucid dummies recognize that they are not, in fact, a force to be reckoned with in the next election. They do not command an overwhelming number of voters even when all of the various factions of the party are cobbled together. The only way they could win is with a plurality like Clinton did in his first election or out right fraud like Kennedy did in 1960 and Gore attempted 2000.
Lots and lots of 'independent' voters are getting sick of the 'race card' too. ObieWun needs to come up with something better than the classic six year old's line "An elephant sat on it." when it comes to the broken economy. He needs to man up, call a tow truck, and, admit it was he and a bunch of joyriding democratixs who actually put the car in the ditch, not George W. Bush. The democratix are, and, always have been, all about scapegoating so I am not expecting this to happen.

The best argument that I can make about Soetoro is that like a bad crab cake he will cause great ills for a relatively short period of time but he too shall pass.
Funny how the lever in a voting booth much resembles the lever on a toilet tank and the results they both bring are the same.
:fuelfire:
-
Technically speaking, he's not our (or "are" if you prefer) first black president. He's our first half-black president. He can't even do that right...he's just a half-rican American.

He's no less incompetent than some of our white Democratic presidents have been?

Soetoro , strange I do not know of anyone voting him into any kind of power, must excuse me there were times when I was out of touch, hospital or just hiding under the bed.
So how many other men and woman have I missed that the public did not elect yet make the rules for us ???
Under the bed is a good time for me, it is when I crawl out to find Barney Frank elected to anything but door man at Gay bar that makes me start placing more provisions under the bed until the next time, This is becoming most frequent that our Electred Offal's run off with someones wife, head out to live with a same sex partner, Hell, is there anyone in DC that is not bisexual ??

He should have taken one look at that girl's bike, and the dorky helmet the secret service wanted him to wear, and said "No Way."

He's black enough to get street cred in the hood and white enough to appeal to lily white union members.

He has kept us from mindlessly wallowing in prosperity.

Far more people have far more free time than during the Great Bush Prosperity.
Back then, they were working their asses off.

Perhaps you might say that he put country over Party and saved this country from unknown hardships? (Wrong answer. He's not for this Country. It's pretty evident.)
Perhaps you might argue that history will judge him as one of our greatest Presidents? (What?!?!,........ :lmao: :lmao: :rotf: I don't even consider him a president.)

Kentuck wants to focus on the positive. :rofl:

It'll be positive when we get a true conservative in the White House and that person then turns this Country in the right direction. We're going backwards instead of forwards.
But, it was a nice try on the part of Kentuck. Thanks for playing Kentuck. :lmao:

That's like Obama waking up in the morning and telling himself he's going to do a good job that day. Doggoneit, he's the President and people like him.
