2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumTurtle > Obama...amazed at republicans hatred
so President Obama is visiting my university next week (along with Rmoney) and my roomate began to talk about politics- something he has never done before. I knew he was a conservative but I was shocked at the amount of hatred and vitriol that he was throwing towards Pres. Obama.
He ended his rant by saying that he would rather have a turtle be president than Pres. Obama (saying this after I asked him if he was happy with Romney)......I told him to tell me 5 reasons/specific policies about why he doesn't like the president
He was not able to respond with any concrete details.
It really shocks me how stupid and hateful republicans have become. We must defeat them this November
Obama/Biden 2012

You can be as general as you want in your responses or no responses.

Does he like the fact that his parents can keep him on their insurance?
Does he like that interest rates on school loans are not raised?
Does he like the fact that insurance companies can't use his pre-existing condition of being a male to exclude him? Joking.

(305 posts)He's form north florida
medium sized town
he's a christian but isn't really that religious (only when its convenient for him i guess)
He does not attend church regularly....at least here at the university
He attended a christian school
Parents are in the medical field
He is on the pre-med track
He loves the fact taht his parents can keep him on insurance, he takes advantage of govt. subsidized loans
He just hates OBAMA- and based on talking with him about other stuff he seems to have an inbuilt racist hatred of obama, even though my roomate is a very nice guy....i just think that the way he's been brought up a black man can't be in a "position of authority"
