Election Poll, Sept 2011 Debate - St. Paris, OH

He should have at least eight years to clean up the mess that gbush created in the same amount of time. Repuglicans scare me.

If all it takes is eight years to clean up Bush's mess, Obama will be a miracle worker. The difference between the current president and the previous one isn't skin color (although that will be the deciding factor in November), but rather I.Q. (not to mention personal dignity and genuine concern for his fellow citizens). Clearly the Republicans would rather run a dolt for the highest office than put up with a black man who isn't serving cocktails off a silver tray. (By the way, Andrew Jackson was born on a ship in mid-ocean, not on U.S. soil--they covered it up-- and my father, along with several hundred others, had no birth certificate thanks to a courthouse fire--which didn't make him a foreigner. If Obama were two shades lighter, the subject would never have come up.
