Without reading the article let me state that the Campaign's two biggest problems are, in order:

Obama
Biden

If race were an issue, Obama would never have been elected. Why do people have trouble believing that voters can be against him because of his policies? Also, having a 70% illegitimacy rate has more to do with poverty in the black community than race.

I will save you from wasting three minutes of your life. Do not read this article.

Thanks #3, my first thought is
1. He's a fraud.
2. He's a liar.

Fact is, people in the third world get their information about the USA from our very own lame-stream media, mostly CNN international. They never see Fox News or hear Rush or Mark Levin.
So you may forgive the writer of the article - but it's still not worth reading.

Well, no, he did not save the auto industry nor the financial industry. And white Americans knew he was 1/2 black when they voted for him 4 yrs ago, now they just don't like his policies and he's still 1/2 black.

Dumbest thing I ever read. I am white and after I file my taxes I am only one or two points above the poverty level. Been that way for 52 years.

Actually, these constant knee-jerk, last-chance, desperate charges of racism are killing Obama. Undecideds and moderates see this constant nonsense coming from Obama's supporters, and they know it's BS-- so they start realizing that everything about Obama could be BS, too. And it is!

According to the writer, America has problems. Using too much gas, water, whites have a higher income than blacks, and too many blacks and hispanics in prison. So we should all listen to him and

1) Reduce automobile use. Walk to work.
2) Reduce water use. No more showers.
3) Reduce the income of white households and give the money to black households
4) Free black and hispanic prisoners, leaving the white prisoners in jail

See? All the problems have been solved now.

"Today, America has a black president. To many voters, that means that the race issue has been erased. Last year, however, the number of African Americans living under poverty hit the highest number in 52 years — 27.4 per cent."

Maybe it got worse because Obama is incompetent? It has gotten worse for everyone, white, black etc.

White peoples median income is 20 times that of african-americans? Ok. That would make the african-american median income about $2500 or $200 a month. It's all slavery's fault and George Bush of course.

They should've talked to Obamas' half brother in Kenyka. They might have gotten another side to the story. Like "selfish" and "socialist"

An article for the knuckleheads who will believe anything. Obama is toast...another incompetent like Carter.

Clearly Obama is much better suited to be the King of Kenya.

We have been hearing this same crap from the left for the past 50 years.

Way would any one even post this on Lucianne?

Posted because I think it's important to understand the mentality conservative America is up against. The person who wrote this (like 0bama) thinks he is an intellectual . . .and there are many of them.

So maybe there's good reason the U.S. is the sole remaining superpower.
The rest of the world is full of idiots like this Randall Smith yo-yo.

Every, every strain of argument contained within this article comes from the old Pravda; each move, pathetic, ethical, or logical, was part of their playbook in this exact mode of application to the decadent West (no need to discriminate much among states or cultures). So note and then disregard.

Come on now, this is truly from The Onion, right? I mean, just look at this statement:

FTA - "Simply put, most do not understand why the president would be in a virtual dead heat with Republican Mitt Romney after all that Obama has done as president:"

What follows this pathetic sentence is a litany of what Obama has "saved" us from.

Well, at least this writer has the excuse of living in Kenya. What's the pretext of the Kool-Aid drinkers in this country. Amazing, simply amazing.

OP, I believe Randall Smith is American. I know when I go abroad, I find many articles like this in foreign publications, written by Americans and bad mouthing our country. Their work is one reason foreigners have such a distorted view of the USA. The fact that they are Americans lends them a credibility that they do not deserve.

I did not read the article...but, if you are going to elect ANYONE to ANYTHING because of their 'color' instead of their ideas you are less than stupid.

I googled around a bit #20 and believe you're right. If he's not a third world idiot, he's certainly a traitor and propagandist. In any event his style appeals to a mind foreign to the free press or American values.

Irrelevant overseas, racist, enviro-nazi, marxist drivel.

If Randy is a Yank, writing from overseas in Africa, he's been chewing too much khat, methinks.

If Randy is a Yank writing from within the U.S., well then he's just stupid.

I read his sophomoric (moronic?) article completely. Personally, I still prefer Mark Steyn.

Fat lot of good Obama's done this country. Want four more years of this crap and we deserve to go down.

I believe that Randall Smith is actually a muppet?

The only reason Obama is in this game at all at this point is because of his race. Affirmative Action is in play here, due to white guilt. Take away that, and he would be so far gone it wouldn't even be funny.

This article is remarkable in that it eliminates facts from the text, promotes false narratives about racism, and shows incredible bias and dishonesty in his handling of the current election issues. FAIL!

Well, well, well, 'citizens of the world' all have their panties in a twist because Barry's redistribution of US wealth to the world is going to shut off their gravey train.
