I'd advise against suggesting someone is a racist for disagreeing with this president. Could a person reasonably say that because someone voted for Bill Clinton they were a racist? It's a slippery slope argument with no end.
It's not. There is a lot of racism in this country. All the voter registration crap of the last 6 years is also racially focused.
If you didn't know that the largest providers of internet services are cable companies, and that they, in turn, are local monopolies, I am not sure in which country you live.
Yes, and a government-sanctioned monopoly is as bad as a government controlled utility. Meeting some nebulous "public good" results in decreased innovation and a flight of capital investment. All negatives. Taxpayers will be on the hook for this and the poor fools don't even understand this.

The Verge is not remotely in favor of free markets. I've read their articles regularly and they maintain a strong anti-competitive bias. I'd say they are politically aligned with New York Democrats, which is where they are located.
And one could also say he was elected for the exact opposite of MLK's dream- he was elected based upon the color of his skin and not the content of his character. Just sayin. Hope = Nope.
Regrettably, I agree with you. The number I've heard him referred to as "our first black president" is very disappointing and proves that it was actually racism that put him in the office for some.
Monopolies can only exist because of government regulations and/or protections.
You may need to take a class in Econ 101, intend of believing everything you hear (although, there's no law against it " src="http://forums-files.appleinsider.com/images/smilies//lol.gif" />). There is such a thing as a natural monopoly.

...and you could say that people voted for Romney because he is white.
Of course not. The racism has moved to innuendos and shadow comments that will deny anything Obama does because of his policies… regardless of his policies.
I'd never say racism played no part, because racism certainly played a part in getting him elected. Some people voted for him because of his skin color and I know this because I saw them say so in TV interviews.
Also, Federal laws are created by our elected representatives. The president signs laws that come from Congress. "ObamaCare" was not created by Barack Obama and "FreebieNet" won't be created by him either (not that he has even a remote chance to even get something like this advanced in his current lame duck status).

1) We don't know if Obama is the first "black" US president if you go by genetics. The odd are, he's not. What he is is the first to be classified as "black," and yet oddly he's never clarified as the 44th "white" president.
2) I'm sure many did vote for him because they classify him as "black" — which is unfortunate since they should be voting on whom they believe is best for our country — but do you really think those voters trump the ones that wouldn' t vote for him because he's "black"? I don't see how that's even close to being possible when you consider the demographic spread in this country in relation to wealth, incarcerations, and felony convictions that will prevent voting from occurring.
PS: The Affordable Care Act is the best thing that has happened to me in the 21st century.

I'm not asking for a guesstimate. How accurate is a guesstimate?
My time is too valuable to give a detail listing of all his failures which double that list AND how that list uses skewed statistics. Sorry. I'm not getting paid to help you out with your own laziness.

ObamaCare is an abomination passed without one Republican vote- the first time ever in our history that half the country was sacked. And that fact that he signed such Strictly partisan legislation is enough said about the man.
It's pathetic and quite laughable, but not surprising at all coming from racist leftists.
Intelligent debate for libtards amounts to playing the race card every time that they are unable to intelligently respond to an argument that is above their intellect.
You want us to believe you would have praised Obama if he announced he wanted to trash Net neutrality in the toilet?
Of course not, because your thought process has nothing to do with the argument, and everything to do with who is making the argument. 100% of all your posts follow this rule. Net neutrality (which every sane person would want) is now a horrible thing according to you and others, because Obama agrees with it. You have thousands of posts containing hateful vitriol giant the underprivileged, anyone who isn't white, mexicans, black people, democrats, Muslims, Arabs, Obama, etc- then you pretend to get all self-righteous and accuse others of playing the race-card? Thankfully, your disgusting, filthy breed of bigotry and racism is dying off. Enjoy spouting your trash on forums like these, because the anonymity of the internet is the last bastion of people like you.

I don't call him a "black president". I just call him the president. And he's just plain lousy at his job. He is just as bad as George W. Bush in terms of violating both the spirit and the letter of his sworn duties.

The misnamed "Affordable" Care Act is a fraud. It's a tax and what has happened in the lead up and passage of that monstrosity has been absolutely criminal. It should've immediately led to a Constitutional crisis.

Actually I'm doing cartwheels if you ALSO believe that list to be 100% accurate without skewed statistics and IS a direct result of BHO.

That's really all that a lot of folks are saying here. A government sanctioned monopoly is what we have now.
Percentage wise? My guesstimate? You really want to know or are you trolling me?
Perhaps 45% accurate though a list of failures would double it.
