    Welllllll . . . it's a real thing. At least nobody has handed him a Nobel Peace Prize just for the gist of his campaign promises and because -- when you get right down to WHY Obama was given the prize -- his charming skin tone.

    really sad how Republicans think the only reason Obama got any support is cause he is black.

    they see him only as a black man, and nothing more.

    Obama had ZERO meaningful national level experience and no leadership or management history. In that regard he was the least qualified and least prepared president of the last hundred years, and had he not been one of the Left's most treasured of all Politically Correct poster children then not even they would have put him into the Oval Office.

    No White male, would have been voted into the presidency by leftists with such a urine-poor experience background, period. He was the quintessential Affirmative Action HIRE by the P.C. fanatical Left. Ironically that makes huge numbers of leftists . . . racist.

    Years as a U.S. senator? Yes; but Obama ceased all meaningful U.S. senate activity 143 days into his first year in order to devote full time to gearing up for his presidential run. So there was no YEARS as a U.S. senator. There were a few months. No MEANINGFUL national level experience.

    - - - Updated - - -

    He's implying that Obama spent years as a WORKING U.S. senator, and that is wrong. Obama ceased all meaningful U.S. senate activity after about four months from taking his oath.

    Really? A moth that's a royal jack ass? How about that!

    Gets into places it doesn't belong.
    Makes a lot of annoying noise
    Leaves you feeling sick if you see one
    Spreads poop everywhere
    Mates with its offspring
    Likes to watch hooker moths pee on each other

    Less than 2 I think. He will go down in history as being the first black president of the U.S.
    There is no escaping his color so don't act like it doesn't matter. It's just a fact of life. It's what he'll be remembered for by whites, browns and blacks alike. It's already being written that way and it will always be written that way.

    Barack Hussein Obama II (US Listeni/bəˈrɑːk huːˈseɪn oʊˈbɑːmə/ bə-rahk hoo-sayn oh-bah-mə;[1][2] born August 4, 1961) is an American politician who is the 44th and current President of the United States. The first African American and first born outside the contiguous United States to serve as president, Obama is a member of the Democratic Party.

    Third line - but I'm a little surprised it wasn't the first line.
