....increased welfare for black people. They also say Obama stole money from Medicare to pay for "Obamacare" which they think is free health care for black people. They think the housing crisis was caused by the government letting black people move into white neighborhoods and when they couldn't afford the homes it caused the value of white people's homes to drop not only from them moving in and ruining the neighborhood (just by being black) but from trashing the house.

Oh,....and these same conservatives claim they aren't racist, we are for saying these are racist views.

that yes, it was conceivable Romney could get gas back to $1.90 because he could send the economy back to the depths it was in 2008.
