Or he has the same color of skin.
What black votes did Obama take away that the Republican party already hadn't pissed away? I'm trying to figure out how many votes Mitt lost by running against a black* Democrat as opposed to any other donkey. The count keeps coming back 0.
* = half

None. What Obama did was get their asses out the door to vote for the brother, when they would not have voted otherwise.

On the other hand... if fatties wanted a fatty president, I mean... shoe-in, right? That's like 60% of the electorate.

Are fatties self-loathing?

So a fattie candidate is not the sure-thing a black democrat is.

[insert minority here] Democrat would have achieved the same impact.

With Mitt, probably none, because he was hopeless. But exit polling during the 2008 election did show that something like 94% of black Republicans voted for Obama, and McCain wasn't quite that awful, even with Palin strapped around his neck like an albatross. I lost a handful of Livejournal "friends" for daring to suggest that those particular voters might have been swayed by the color of his skin.

The only black Republican I know voted for Obama in 08.

I still say any minority would score that well in their own demographic.

Sure, and I don't really hold it against them. Everyone likes to get swept up into a historical first if it feels personal to them.
Still, no matter how they want to try to spin it some people clearly did vote for him only because of the color of his skin.

And more did so in his favor than against.

Public hates pachyderm Congressmen slightly less than Democrats.
And Congress' approval ratings continue to track with various diseases and horrible life events. Fewer than a third of Americans think Congressional Democrats are doing good work; only about one-in-five feel the same way about Republicans.

Sorry that all the honkies are so lazy and apathetic.
This the first time since 1968 that blacks turned out at a higher rate the whites.
As you'll remember, that was the last time there was a black candidate ... oh, wait a sec, no he wasn't.

More idiocy.
Republican Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma has said that he believes Obama is “getting perilously close” to impeachment as well.
Dumb-ass.
Except for this dude.
So far Louisana Gov. Bobby Jindal has been the only Republican to openly call on those in his party to stop talking about impeachment, telling David Gregory on Meet the Press that he “reject that kind of talk.”
