'Opposing Black Guy in the White House' Is 'Good Politics'

It is good politics to oppose the black guy in the White House right now, especially for the Republican Party," said Republican South Carolina House Member Kris Crawford in an interview about how he supported a Medicaid expansion despite his party affiliation. Now just guess what he did on Tuesday. Crawford voted on party lines and shot down a measure which would have granted a three-year expansion of Medicaid for the uninsured — an amendment which would have extended taxpayer-funded health insurance to 500,000 more people. (And you thought the governors had been having trouble on this issue.) Of course, now Crawford is going to have to delicately explain why he said what he said, did what he did, and not try to sound like he's pandering to racists and politics.

ghee it was never about his race? really?

Yoiu wonder why black people would never vote republican

 

When I heard that I was blown away.
Basically this asshole said he scores points with his electorate for being a bigot and racist against the Black POTUS, screw any real policy differences.

Then I laugh when I remember how people were arguing since the USA elected a Black president, we are now living in a post-racial America.

No US President has faced the level of constant obstruction from the GOP that Obama has, to the point they're willing to vote against policies they used to be in favor of because now Obama supports them too.

The individual mandate for healthcare, which requires everyone to buy into the public/private healthcare insurance system, originally was a Republican idea. WHen Obama proposed it, Republicans acted like it was a Marxist plot.

You can be chosen to lead, but if those under your charge refuse to follow, you become powerless.

The Republicans have decided from the minute Obama was inaugurated in 2009 that he may have been elected POTUS, but that he would never be THEIR President.

 

That man told the truth in spite of his backtracking.
