imagine being half white but the entire country calls you the first black prezzo. Imagine passing the affordable care act saving peoples lives from financial ruin and it was a republicans idea but it gets called Obama-care. Imagine old women calling you the N-word live on tv at Mccains rallies. Imagine bumper stickers with target sites over your face donning pickup trcuks. They are not the same my guy. Obama was up against the wall and did what he could to keep the nation together and did. And he not only did it but he did it with finesse. (and this isnt even mentioning the hate his wife got for daring to be african american) America is a racist country, desperately trying to downplay Obama's legacy by equalizing him to trump a cheating loser who failed a university, casino (multiple) stiffs contractors, insults disabled people, deregulates environmental safety regulations, I could go on and on. They are NOT THE SAME.

But go ahead, keep thinking both sides are the same, it makes you sound so smart! What a smart man you are!

Imagine being a 4 year old in the middle east. Imagine being blown up by the first half-black president! Do you know how amazing and progressive that must feel?

Imaginge being tortured in a prison, with the approval of a person who had been called the N-word. Can you imagine how liberating that must be?

Imagine losing your home, and watching the bank that owned your mortgage making billions of dollars in profit, but all, while a PoC was president. Can you imagine how great that must feel? To know that America was so forward thinking?

I don't really care about Obama's race. I care that Obama screwed over the working class, and tortured and killed innocent people.

Once again, I ask you to point out where I said that "they are the same". You won't, because I haven't said that, because I don't believe they are the same. Come back when you are done tilting at windmills
