It also proved that electing a Prez based on an affirmative action agenda would backfire as well.

You are also afraid to be considered insensitive and quite evidently, ever racist or "homophobic." Another thing about libs like you– you are desperate to be accepted by others in your collective.

I've been studying your ilk since the 1960s and you are all shades of the same entity. Your altruism and ability to let your hearts bleed for strangers is driven by guilt and shame over what you have versus what others don't have. You don't think there should be haves and have nots. The dirty little secret about life is that it's impossible for everyone to be equal or to be treated equally. Homo sapiens aren't wired for it. Homo sapiens are wired for self-preservation. Bush a bit thick? Hmm, let's see, America was not attacked on its shores since 9/11. I'd say that's damn good leadership. I'd say it's another sign of good leadership to consider what's the most prudent and pragmatic course rather than basing your decisions on popularity polls. Taking the war in the Middle East right down the throats of the terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan was the best course, even though the method in which they executed their war plans wasn't always sound. The USA doesn't fight its best in guerrilla warfare, I'll admit. Oh please, I know you libs better than you know yourselves.

For the record, futile as it might be to a magical thinker like you, I <em>don't</em> look for saviours, indeed, tend to mistrust anybody who even thinks in those terms. I do think Obama is a big improvement on the last US president, who always struck me as a bit thick. I can't speak to how guilty US citizens feel, but as to myself, I've never felt a shred of guilt about slavery. If you are intent on asking anybody for anything, I'd ask for a course in logic and reason if I was you, because your thinking processes are seriously messed up.

Barry O. is your darling and the darling of the rest of the guilt ridden white liberals who feel that blacks in America have finally received adequate recompense for the whole slavery issue. Funny how they forget the hundreds of billions of dollars spent since 1964 on the War on Poverty, which was another guilty conscience motivated piece of legislation which has yet to provide any tangible results (only symbolic ones). I guess I should ask descendants of the citizens of the Roman Empire to compensate me for enslaving my ancestors two thousand years ago as well.

I would have been fine with the Nazi party if he hadn't scapegoated and slaughtered Jews. The Germanic people are proud and industrious and are among the greatest warriors of all time. It never made logical sense to scapegoat and murder Jews because of our inherent talent and ability to be successful at the arts, commerce, and the sciences. We comprise less than 1% of the world's population and we dominate all the aforementioned areas. So it's not logical to kill those who are the best and who make the greatest contributions.
