How much has Obama's race and ethnicity played in his successes & failures as President?

Obama is president because he is black and will be reelected because of it. mccain was a way better candidate. also why do people act like obama was out there in the trenches putting in work to get osama. I could have done that my self. people act like BLACK people were his main supporters. but they seem to forget it was all the colored people and the white kids who watch bet and mtv and listened to young jeezy's my president 1,000,000 times. like seriously? mccain had no love from the media except form fox news. while obama was the cool thing at the time and was on every channel and referenced in tons of rap music. Most of our voters are young. and Obama was the hip thing for he young people at the time.
Obama has done nothing that has helped my life at all and therefore to me he is not a good president. people need to realize that obama has done some things but how many of them actually affect them?
also obama basically rode not going to war during his whole campaign. then he goes off to libya %$* is that?
But on the good note Obama is probably the one of the best speakers i have ever seen. every time he speaks i feel like he is talking to me directly and it just blows me away with body posture and confidence, and i do believe he is an intelligent man. if our country was better off i think he would do a good job but in the state we are in now he just isn't a good fit.
sucks to i was really pulling for him, but i just don't see it getting any better when he gets reelected.

LOL.  Bless your  heart.
  

what did he do that i or you couldn't?
kept his mouth shut to the public and said go get em tiger.
people came to obama with the information they gathered and asked if it was ok to go after him. anybody with a pulse would say yes kill that son of a #*@%%

It's not a matter of what President Obama, I, or even you could have done.  The FACT of the matter is what President Obama did do, and what he help get accomplished.  There are some things people may have the ability to do but for whatever reason they don't get done.  President Obama got it done, simply as that.  Also, President Obama doubled down on trying to find and kill Osama Bin Laden.  It wasn't just a bunch of US troops walking around in Pakistan just because and happen to see a compound with no telephone lines connected to it.  Obama purposely wanted to kill Osama Bin Laden at all cost and sent our troops out on a mission to locate him and take him out.

I'm more interested how this race issue is going to play out by the Corporate *%%!$ Media if he loses. The Southern Poverty Law Center is going to have a field day.

If he wins = The U.S. is racist
If he loses = The U.S. is racist

all i said was that obama didnt put the gun to anyones head...calling him a murderer is a little......

Charles Manson isn't serving in jail because he killed people, he's in jail because he instructed it...

There's a thing in law called Joint and Several Liability.

this i also another reason why I voted for him. Just to be able to be apart of this. McCain honestly had my vote up till the last few weeks and when he announced Sarah Palin

Him being black was part of it but I always felt with the way the nation was at the time was more the reason any dem was gonna win it after what the GOP did to the country. Like if it wasn't Obama I'd see Hillary easily winning.

Depends....... Obama is relatively young. I wouldn't have bought it from any regular white haired-old-as-*@%! politician tho. His appearance and persona had a lot to do with him being able to sell that change/hope spill

I actually didnt mind Mccain for the most part until that. That was a death blow. Not sure why she was chosen.

Exactly that's what I'm saying.... If anything Mccain made me vote for Obama. Everything else, voting for a black man, being part of history, etc was just icing on the cake
