From facebook -- If Obama Were White

[FourScore]

[EC]

1. Looking like that they'd be complaining he was too young... n/t

[Scootaloo]

8. Why do you say that?

That's his first-term photo, given a recolor and "white guy" hair. The lines are the same, the texture is th same, even the hairline is the same.

granted, the hair style does echo that of Zack, the Lego Maniac...

[MadHound]

2. Nah, they'd be doing what they did to Bill Clinton,

Create idiotic conspiracy theories, and try to impeach him over a sex scandal. The fact of the matter is that the rabid right wing in this country is going to go after every Democratic president hammer and tongs.

[Bigmack]

7. Interesting... "hammer and tongs"...

I believe it!

I believe the Repubs go after every Dem politician like they were killing snakes.

Think for a moment, tho... when was the last time the Dems went after the Repubs the same way?

Seems to me that the only Repubs caught in scandals were caught only because they fucked up so egregiously that nobody could ignore it.

Where's the oppo folks for the Dems? Where's the investigations? Shit, where's the made-up scandals?

[loudsue]

21. With the republicans, dems don't even have to make shit up.

The republicans are so bad you can't make worse shit up!

[Politicalboi]

25. Damn it! Haven't you been listening

It's Benghazi. 4 people died and Hillary was asleep. Never mind 9/11 where our Secretary of Defense was helping victims at the Pentagon, or that Bush had a Bin Laden at the WH on 9/11. It's Benghazi!, Benghazi!, Benghazi!

[Floyd_Gondolli]

9. You're mostly right

But the zeal in which they go after this president goes to 11.

[uponit7771]

23. not racially, I don't remember that with Bill Clinton...I don't remember 23423 filibusters either...

...the rest of the stupidity I do remember

[dsc]

36. you don't remember filibusters because the gop controlled the senate for 6 of the 8 years

[progressoid]

24. Yep. During the Clinton years I worked with some rabid RWers.

The crazy shit they would say was jaw dropping. I stopped in a year ago and nothing has changed.

[tblue]

3. Well, they weren't real nice to Bill Clinton either.

They accused First Lady Hillary of murder conspiracy! But no one ever disputed Bill being an American. Oy! This country needs to grow the hell up!

[silverweb]

4. Because the reTHUGs didn't have it in for the Clintons...

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]...because they weren't white, either?

Yes, there's a very heavy element of racism in the RW's visceral hatred for Obama, but they'd still hate him even without that.

[Nye Bevan]

12. Wrong. I remember the Republicans lauding the "Clinton Recovery".

Ooops, my bad. What I meant to say was that they impeached him.

[TheKentuckian]

38. Shit, they are on Jimmy Carter to this very day

No question in mind that the racism is there and is a central tenant to their perverse ideology but just being the opposition, no matter what, already draws more fire than our overall make up allows for under the most grievous and obvious willful misdeeds.

Too few on our side grasp these folks can't be dealt with in a cooperative fashion, there is no path to "yes" save perhaps utter capitulation and I fail to see the guarantee there because there is tremendous evidence to support the idea that the closer the opposition comes to their positions the more radicalized they become. If you flat out adopt their positions they simply stake out new ones and declare the old evil. The one major whole that has presented its self in this logic is education deform. Here did we go so far right that there is no where else to go and remain viable even with a complicit media and virtually unlimited money? I don't know but what we are doing is at the least perverse and a disservice to the people for it to be so well tolerated in this environment and has to at least present a strong path to their wicked endgame.

[Jamaal510]

5. Funny thing here is

Obama IS 1/2 white. But just being 1/2 white isn't enough for the RWNJs. The One-Drop Rule trumps all (pun intended).

[Yavin4]

6. They would be tearing him apart for marrying an African American woman. n/t

[EOTE]

10. If Dave Chapelle ever gets back on TV, he should do a white Obama skit.

The black Bush that he did was freaking hilarious.

As for the poster, it's hard to deny that there is a large racist portion of the GOP, but they didn't treat Clinton all that much better.

[Politicalboi]

26. That was a good one

I miss Dave. So many good shows.

[RZM]

11. We would have president Hillary Clinton

No way an unknown white guy dominates the black vote against the biggest name in the party.

Still think Hillary would have thrashed McGramps. But you never know.

[graham4anything]

14. Hillary45 in 2016 and 2020, for the continuation of President Obama's agenda and forever more

Best revenge against the haters whomever they are.

[msongs]

17. let's hope for something better than that this early out nt

[graham4anything]

20. I happen to love President Obama, best President since LBJ, rivals FDR and Lincoln.

Can't think of even one reason I would not want a continuation forever.

Hillary/Napolitano 2016/2020

[Hissyspit]

34. Yes, because it's all about revenge.

[graham4anything]

35. No, because it's all about President Obama and I love his agenda and want it forever

The revolution was won in 2008
In spite of Ralph Nader, Ross Perot, jill stein, Rand and Ron Paul, the NRA, the
John Birch Society, the Birthers, the David Duke, Strom Thurmond, George Wallace,etc.

Revenge in this instance means keeping da Agenda going, forever.

Not picking some (another) far left Goldwater, that will be Dukakised.

I love Hillary. You are not saying you don't are you?

There is no one in the world more qualified to be US President than Hillary.

but of course, the same people who hated Lincoln, LBJ, FDR, JFK, and Jimmy Carter hated Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

All those ^&*(((*^^ that wasted their vote in 2000 voting for Ralph Nader.
Those are the ones whining the loudest now, after Nader enriched himself by throwing the election to George W. Bush.

[Tien1985]

13. Someone photoshopped my

Hair into this picture!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

15. Is that what happened to it?

[LeftInTX]

16. He would look like Justin Beiber?

Can't help but notice the resemblence

[Paul E Ester]

22. the hair!

Bit hip for a man of President Obama's stature.

[just1voice]

18. Hey look, it's Craig Ferguson!

I wonder if Craig Ferguson would still let war criminals go and appoint corrupt bankers to his cabinet?

[Matariki]

19. Well hopefully he'd have a better hair cut.

[Agschmid]

29. ^^^ THIS ^^^ n/t

[olddots]

27. If Obama was 100% caucasion

the turd maggots would complain that he had a high enough IQ to be president ,could speak eloquently and walk & chew gum at the same time.

[Auntie Bush]

28. Error! He doesn't have big ears in that photo.

[angstlessk]

30. Were David Bowie and he separated at birth

[mercymechap]

31. I hate to think that Repiublican/conservatives

would be saying that Democrat/liberals/progressives are too racist, that we should have a black President and that Caine would have been better! Probably not.

They would have found something else to criticize him for.

[Soliveindenialthen]

32. If he were white would he even be a Democrat when has admitted he is more of a Moderate

Republican in the mold of Reagan?

Did the GOP's crazy and racism cause him to run as a Democrat where he could get elected instead of as a Moderate Republican where he would have has a much more difficult time?

President Obama sure is not the very Liberal Democrat that he is accused of being by the right and if he were a Moderate Republican they would hate him just as much like they do to all Moderate Republicans anyway.

[pennylane100]

33. I think he is much more sexy as a black person

it but either way, he is a is a cutie. However, I do not know why they decided to give him that hair style. It is not becoming.

[hughee99]

37. Exactly, no one ever questioned the patriotism and faith of Clinton,

he beat his opponents by double digits, no one gave his wife a hard time when she went on TV, and everyone celebrated his handling of the economy.

Yep, it's all about race, and if Obama were a white REPUBLICAN, we'd be calling him all sorts of names.
