When the Left elected "the cool Black man who speaks like a White guy, clean and articulate" they either knew and didn't care, or possibly they didn't know, that they were electing the reincarnation of Malcolm X.
All the comparisons of Obama to MLK are way off. Obama is a racist Black Muslim radical who has a deep hatred for America, American law, culture, and traditions, and any traditionally White country including Britain (as it used to be historically).
His policies bear this out. He was absolutely the worst guy to be an American President ever. Obama would have fit much better as President of some shithole African country like Kenya. He may be half-White. Maybe he was born in Hawaii. But his mentality was that of an anti-American, pseudo-communist, African dictator. That is where he belongs.
But, the Liberals were fixated on 'the first Black President' no matter what. His dubious history and lack of any history, his dubious academic credentials, his nonexistent work history, did not matter to them. All they cared about was the color of his skin, nothing more. And he destroyed them for it.
