rMoney could come out and out and call the President the N word ....

... and most of the %$#& media would figure out a way to defend him. WTF is it going to take for them to stop pushing for ratings and cover the damn news?

The media needs this race to be close (better ratings)

and if Obama was white he'd be walking away with a Bush/Dukakis'esque victory in this election . (I never play the race card but lets call a spade a spade.....afterall...dude killed Bin Laden and 2 days later his approval rating was only like 67%).

He could call him boy, the N word whatever he wanted and the media would try to rationalize it. This is a race thing. If Obama were all white he would be ahead so far that he could go in and say Medicare for all and go up in the polls. I have and always will support PBO, his legacy will be judged properly by history. He hasn't gotten a chance to be the next FDR or Clinton so far, but after term 2 he will be seen as one of the great ones. By 2020, one of the best.

You'd see pickup trucks full of racists headed to the polls on election day.

i completely agree with you.

when all is said and done if Obama gets a 2nd term he will go down as one of the greatest presidents of all time.

what i KNOW we will see as he wraps up his 2nd term:

-Unemployment around 5.5% (which unfortunately I think will be the new normal)
-Healthcare reform like never seen before
-Balanced Regulation on WS
-Minimum Wage Up but ahead of general inflation
-College Education easier to achieve than ever before for low income people
-Immigration reform thats balanced across the board

what I suspect we will see:

-a real focus on trying to get Israel/Palestine resolved
-normalization of relations with Iran as back channels are worked and Iran backs down on nuclear development
