    What are everyone's thoughts on President Barack Husein Obama? Im actually aware of some... activist movements, and want to know where the ideas members of Powder Toy fluctuate. Feel free to post links to videos, threads, whatever you want. Please don't go off topic as that will lead to this thread being locked. 

     

    I'll start this off by stating what the Constitution says are "Requirements of Presidency".

     

     A president must:

    1. be a native-born U.S. citizens. Someone may be born abroad, but only if both parents were citizens of the United States. The only exception to this was for those around at the time the Constitution was adopted. Their requirement was that they had to be a citizen when the Constitution was adopted.
    2. be at least 35 years of age. The youngest president elected was 43 years old. However, there was one president who was even younger. Theodore Roosevelt.
    3. have lived in the United States for at least 14 years to be president. This does not have to be consecutive or even the 14 years leading up to becoming president.

    Obviously, a lot more is needed than this. The candidate must be acceptable to a large number of people across the nation. Nonetheless, these are the minimum constitutional requirements for someone to become president of the United States.

    Well, there was some controversy whether he was actually American or not. But you do know, there are plenty of African Americans, so it is hardly racist at all.

    What is the line in the sand anyway? Where does free-speech turn into hate-speech? Im just saying.

     

     It’s OK to like the guy personally but not vote for him again. This is not a popularity contest. It’s OK to vote against the black guy. You gave him a shot. He gave it his best shot. He failed. And the most effective message is: “It’s OK to make a change” — and not be thought of as a racist.

    I don't care if he is black or not, he is a horrible president. He only gained presidency because of his mass appeal to the minority of America. (Should be called the majority, haha.) Nuff' said.

    Your "good" president has raised the federal debt for more than $5.3 trillion, 2 million americans lost their job, and the gas prices were nearly doubled(+103%) since Obama became president.

    Better drop out of high school, go unemployed, and submit request for federal support through medicade. I'll be waiting on my couch waiting for my monthly check, meanwhile sucking the government's resources whilst not doing a single fuck of good for my country. Thus is life in America...
