Although I'm not American, or eligible to vote, I would like to see Obama as President again. Let's be honest, he's the first black President America has ever had. People were weeping with joy in the streets when he was elected.

That is so no reason to elect the man. Racism has no place in this country. Who cares if he's black, or yellow, or pink with blue polka dots? By now, you'd think America would have moved past sexism and racism.

Are you accusing him of racism? Like, i'm really asking.... Because I have no idea what you're trying to say.

I'd vote for the pink polka dotted just because

I'm saying that "because Obama was the first black president" shouldn't have any bearing on whether or not he gets reelected.

Then what's racism got to do-

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I think Obama is doing ok for what he started with. At the very least I think he handles things abroad very well, tries his best not to rile people up in negative ways, and supports research into alternative energy in a way I prefer.

My number one biggest problem with Romney is that he kind flat our lies... a lot. I know Obama isn't a saint of honesty either, but he doesn't go around claiming one thing one day and a different thin the next denying ever said anything else. Romney just seems soooo disingenuous.

Voting on someone because they're black is racism. (I couldn't think of a clever quip/song reply.)

But how is that ONLY Obama. The thing is that War has been proven as a way for a country to earn money fast, and it was widely accepted after WW2, that doing so would be an automatic fix for the economy. We're just now learning that something like that doesn't exactly work anymore, as proven with Vietnam and the Middle East. There's also other reaspns for US involvement past imperialism. Take for instance North Korea and South Korea, which has US forces deployed on the DMZ at their request.

Or maybe you mean Lybia? The people there were asking for help, but after something like that you have to have a cleanup, and that's the part that promotes backlash. Though, no I don't agree with the invasion of a country, I don't think that the intention is imperialism, I think that usually the intention might be something a little more sincere but is taken the wrong way. However, when you look at the Iraq War, which is still a pile of nonsense in my books, (Not started by obama might I add) you're going to find that yes, THAT was an imperialistic move.

Honestly I'm not concerned with Obama being imperialistic. i don't see it.

I never said it was ONLY Obama, I said he was continuing on with America's imperialistic thirsts.

Also

It was imperialist after a few years. Originally, it was an actual act or retaliation. Think about it. Almost everyone was for the war in Iraq after 9/11. However, I agree that it should not have lasted that long. Imperialism is when you take over a country. From what is universally understood, the US hasn't tried taking over another country in a while.

Act of retaliation? I find that hard to believe after the Northwood documents were released..
And Imperialism doesn't always include flat out taking over a country..........

Granted, the wars should have stopped after a few years. But being like "lol why did American go to Iraq to hunt Al-Qaeda? It was only millions of American deaths and a big hit to the global economy." The retaliation to 9/11 was every bit justified.

Wow you just completely ignored what I said and posted a definition.
How mature of you.

"1.

Note the OR.

Pretty sure going to different countries to put in democracy and FREEDUM is extending their influence or power. Which is imperial interests. hurr durr

EDIT: Again, retaliation???? Why are you ignoring what I posted?

I'm not going to jump into this, however I saw something today that I felt was just strange.
Maine Republican Party Attacks Candidate for Playing World of Warcraft Article

TL;DRMocking a representative for playing WoW.

Admitidly, some of the things she's been quoted as saying weren't the best of things to have said. It's her fault for putting such things online, however the means of which they've worded the article, it's very much an attack in any way they can find.

Also, Romney hates Big Bird. What's the deal yo?

 

[Bacon Boy]

Romney wants to cut spending towards PBS. Afterwards, he said he likes PBS and he likes Big Bird, but he wants to cut down on its funding.
