It didn`t stop that 20 plus percent in some states voting against him solely they see him as a black man.


Take that 20 percent bias out of the equation and he would have have carried several states that he did not.

Clearly race or the perception of race still infects our politics.

Uh well TA if Barry wasn't black...he wouldn't have carried any of them. The media played paddycake with him. He would have been laughed off the stage but he dems were scared to openly mock a black guy.

TA pick a state that he carried...any one u like. Barry got elected because he was black, he got elected because the media was scared of him. Look how quickly Ferraro disappeared after her common sense comment on Obama...she was goneeeee. Nobody could do what he's doing to this country if they were white. He's a worthless piece of shit and the media continues to ball wash him.

So you admit you have ZERO evidence or fact that you can point to in order to back up your ignorant statement?

Obama won solely because he was black.  Thats not racist its a fact.

If he were a 100% white guy named Barry Soteronstein from Brooklyn New York he would not have even made it through half the primaries with his insanely shallow record.

No way.  Obama won because he was the democratic nominee.  Thank Bush for it.

That helped, but more likley Hillary would be president since she would have won the primary if Obama were 100% white.

Between the black/hispanic vote and the White-guilt vote, Obama got enough to beat Hillary.

I disagree with you there to.  Obama out campaigned her.  She was so polarizing it provided the opportunity for Obama.

This had little to do with him being Black.  It more of the ideal circumstances.  Him being Balck was a factor, but not near the determining factor some would say.

If you are stating it as fact, where is your evidence?

You dont get it. 

The media was completely biased in his favor because of his race and failed to treat him like they did her.  The media still shills for him in a manner like I have never seen.
