We voted this embarrassment of a President into office because he is (at least halfway) black.

I'm sorry, but that's just an idiotic statement. Let me say right off the bat that I am NOT a supporter of our current president. I'm a registered Republican who voted for Ron Paul in my state primary and will probably vote for Gary Johnson in the general election. But to say that people voted for him because he was black is idiotic. If anything, he got voted in because he was a DEMOCRAT after 8 years of BUSH. These types of statements are just racially tinged right wing talking points that contribute nothing of value to the conversation.

He lies through his teeth, keeps no promises to anyone (even those whose side he claims to be on), and is absolutely a Socialist.

Another stupid right wing talking point which is factually incorrect. He's a statist and a corporatist, not a socialist. Obamacare is not socialist (and neither is Obama). Hell, it was a REPUBLICAN plan first. It's not single payer socialist health care. It's a government mandate to buy corporate health care. It's statist and corporatist, which is significantly different from actual socialism. You should educate yourself on these clear distinctions and quit regurgitating right wing talking points.
