1. Send Barack

And extra security

3. Sadly

he would be painted as the worst of the worst of demons in the twisted minds of the racist fucks in Alabama, most of whom seem to prefer to vote more often than anyone on our side.

4. Exactly. Obama knows well enough to stay away, and stay silent.

The AA votes possibly gained would be overwhelmed by increased RW turnout.

6. Indeed, a very popular President of the United States who drew in millions of new voters.

Someone who can be trusted, a shining light in American politics, a respected leader on the global stage, a clear voice of reason, .... I could go on ALL DAY.

7. He most certainly was and still is! However

Alabama didn't vote for him and we still have about a century more time needed to eradicate the century of indoctrination about "the niggers" and get that bred out of the state.

(I say this as someone who has family down there from a great uncle who went to Tuskegee (then-) Institute back in the '20s and stayed...)

Unfortunately, openly appealing to black voters in AL risks a backlash as well.
