If it wasn't racial in intent, it was racial in effect

"Racial in effect" is a rather unusual phrase. It it wasn't racial in intent then it wasn't racial. It was perceived as racial, but that isn't the same thing.

The REAL unemployment rate is much higher than the govt' figures state when you take into account the unemployed that have quit looking for work and the part time people that have been laid off or can't find work

There is no simple "REAL" unemployment rate. I suppose you could count anyone who doesn't have a job as unemployed, but are you going to count children and retired people, and stay at home parents as unemployed? The normal definition of unemployment is people who are looking for work but have been unable to get it.

In any case the unemployment rate has not changed in ways that significantly decrease its measured value since the 1967. Since 1967 people who stopped looking for work where no longer counted as unemployed. As for part time people they have never been, and should never be counted as unemployed, because they have jobs.

11. Regarding broken campaign promises. That statement is a joke right?

Hardly a joke even if it might not literally be true. Obama's been racking up broken campaign promises at a good clip, but then I doubt he's actually racked up more just in a month than Bush did in eight years.

Some people think President Obama is INTELLIGENT

Reasonably so, because he is, as is Cheney and as surprising as it might seem to you, Bush.

TO STEM THE DOMINO COLLAPSE THAT WOULD SURELY FOLLOW IF WE DID NOTHING.

That's easy to say, but even saying it in all caps doesn't make the argument for you
