I've kind of been thinking about old Ross. He was right on a lot of stuff. Nobody listened.

Ross made the mistake of telling people what needed to be done. His opponents told people what they wanted to hear. Honesty is political suicide.

I do not delude myself into thinking the average American voter can find their ass with both hands. If someone tells them there is a free lollypop for everyone that's who their voting for.

Sad really.

Or telling them that we can get out of debt by lowering taxes. And when it fails and the debt gets much, much worse, telling them that again.

You can write it off as racist but that is just an out. If the majority were racist he would not be the president. I think he is a good person but he lacks any real experience being the boss of anything.

Yes, the majority did vote for him so I guess that means they're not racist but you mentioned the deep south specifically. Who did they vote for? Overwhelmingly. Racism aside, you guys did not want to see Obama become president so your "outrage" is inherently suspect.
