| #14 Hope she enjoyed the last few years because it'll probably be awhile before she sees another one... |

| #13 That chick is a real bargain, about 75% off. |

| #12 I think she was really just trying to say something positive. Really what else can she say about Obama? LOL. Damning with faint praise? |

| #11 Is that a polite way of saying that the White House has done nothing worth bragging about? |

| #10 And I remember despising a plains state governor who wanted to end the war, the draft and give $2000 to everybody. White, decent and flew a Liberator in the big one. Man the Democrats have changed a heap. |

| #9 There's an element in our society that are not well- informed who vote on the basis of whether or not they think someone has celebrity value or look good or that they would be cool, e.g. the first black president or the first woman president regardless of the candidates experience, knowledge, qualifications or capabilities. Look for the first Donk transgender, black gay woman stoner candidate in 2088. |

| #8 AlanC and JohnQC. Even in 2088, would have Obama been elected without the 95% Blacks who voted for him because they believed he was Black? I don't think so. Would have he won the Democratic primaries, would have he even been in the final race against Hillary Clinton without all those Whites who voted for him because they believed that by being Black Obama would be a silver bullet in the upcoming election? I don't think so. |

| #7 I don't mind him being black. That is fine. However, he is worthless as a president and COC--white or black. |

| #6 JFM, in the language of the old slave South I think that makes BHO an octoroon. In any case he's a maroon. |

| #5 I attended the concert for valor last night and was very glad to leave before Rhianna and Eminem performed. But I will say in the beginning they played prepared remarks from obama and the crowd was not enthusiastic. Even heard a few boos and an 'obama sucks'. As for her specific comment. I think she was really just trying to say something positive. Really what else can she say about Obama? |

| #4 Actually he is 1/8th Black. In Kenya his father was listed as an Arab. |

| #3 Why should the ones of us who didn't want him sit back and smile? The midterm elections show what happens when the ppl aren't happy, we're not stuck with this idiot for life. |

| #2 Excellent point Chris, but we probably should credit her with being half-right. |

| #1 Rihanna is not a US citizen so technically he's not your president. |
