 So you really believe if Obama had ran the same campaign, had the same views, did everything the same but was white, he would have had more support from republicans and would have faced less opposition and would have passed all sorts of gun bans and so on?Halifax2TheMax said:

 What you posited, that "its been going on for generations,' legislatively, is not true. Prior to Obama, dems and repubs regularly worked across the aisle. See Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush. The bi-partisanship ended with Obama, despite his adaption of previously repub positions. I get it, "you're okay with it."mace1229 said:

 Yeah me either. I'm sure deep-down the Limbaughs and Hannitys of the world definitely didn't like the idea of a black president. But I have no way of proving that, and they bashed him in the same way they'd bash the Clintons. So on the surface, they treated him as they would any democrat.mace1229 said:

 This is just insider DC stuff. Real Americans aren't concerned about who has top secret clearance and whether they are potentially compromised. This article guarantees a Trump victory in 2020.Halifax2TheMax said:Drain the swamp? Not working for putin on the ritz? WTF? Because this is how an up and up White House and POTUS should operate, right? But you're "okay with it."
 Ms. Newbold told the committee’s staff members that the clearance applications had been denied for a variety of reasons, including “foreign influence, conflicts of interest, concerning personal conduct, financial problems, drug use, and criminal conduct,” the memo said. The denials by the career employees were overturned, she said, by more-senior officials who did not follow the procedures designed to mitigate security risks.
 In one case, she said that a senior White House official was denied a clearance after a background check turned up concerns about possible foreign influence, “employment outside or businesses external to what your position at the EOP entails,” and the official’s personal conduct. Mr. Kline stepped in to reverse the decision, she said, writing in the relevant file that “the activities occurred prior to Federal service” without addressing concerns raised by Ms. Newbold and another colleague.
 In the case of the second senior White House official, Ms. Newbold told the committee that a specialist reviewing the clearance application wrote a 14-page memo detailing disqualifying concerns, including possible foreign influence. She said that Mr. Kline instructed her “do not touch” the case, and soon granted the official clearance.
 Ms. Newbold also asserted that Trump administration had made changes to security protocols that made it easier for individuals to get clearances. The changes included stopping credit checks on applicants to work in the White House, which she said helps identify if employees of the president could be susceptible to blackmail. She also said the White House had stopped, for a time, the practice of reinvestigating certain applicants who had received security clearances in the past.

 Today you can't criticize Obama without someone calling you racist. Its ridiculous.
 And There were plenty of issues that they could not agree with on Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush Reprise. I would agree it didn't seem as extreme back then, but every 4 years it seems like it got worse than the previous 4.
 Thats just my opinion, I can't prove the motivation wasn't racially motivated just like you can't prove it was I guess.0

 After re-reading this, I disagree with what I just typed a few minutes ago. The Republicans blocked nearly every bit of legislation that Obama proposed with not much more of an explanation than "fuck Obama." And Limbaugh did say that he hoped Obama failed. If someone said the same thing about Trump, he'd rant about how if Trump fails, we all fail. Well why wasn't that his view on Obama?Ledbetterman10 said:

The changes included stopping credit checks on applicants to work in the White House, which she said helps identify if employees of the president could be susceptible to blackmail. She also said the White House had stopped, for a time, the practice of reinvestigating certain applicants who had received security clearances in the past.

 The fucking majority leader of the senate said it, not just Rushbo. And he broke with every senate tradition regarding the confirmation process and allowing legislation a vote. Boehner and McConnell both come from a generation and states where white people just don’t take direction from a black man. Regardless of party. I can’t believe the denial I’m seeing today. Some on here are “okay with it.” I get it.Ledbetterman10 said:
 After re-reading this, I disagree with what I just typed a few minutes ago. The Republicans blocked nearly every bit of legislation that Obama proposed with not much more of an explanation than "fuck Obama." And Limbaugh did say that he hoped Obama failed. If someone said the same thing about Trump, he'd rant about how if Trump fails, we all fail. Well why wasn't that his view on Obama?Ledbetterman10 said:
 Yeah me either. I'm sure deep-down the Limbaughs and Hannitys of the world definitely didn't like the idea of a black president. But I have no way of proving that, and they bashed him in the same way they'd bash the Clintons. So on the surface, they treated him as they would any democrat.mace1229 said:
 And many of the Dems wouldn't attend Trump's inauguration. Repubs tried to impeach Clinton over a sex scandal. It really isn't anything new, and I haven't seen anything that makes me believe Obama was disliked/hated because of his color over his politics.Halifax2TheMax said:
 Yes but not on the gun bans, that’s a lost cause. Jesus Mace, the repubs wouldn’t even attend the WH Christmas party hosted by the Obama’s.mace1229 said:
 So you really believe if Obama had ran the same campaign, had the same views, did everything the same but was white, he would have had more support from republicans and would have faced less opposition and would have passed all sorts of gun bans and so on?Halifax2TheMax said:
 Because it hadn’t been going on “for generations.”mace1229 said:
 Its politics. Dems don't want to give Trump a win on anything Trump does, is that because he's white?Halifax2TheMax said:
 With a republican congress that absolutely refused to give him a win. On anything. Because he’s black.my2hands said:Halifax2TheMax said:Can anyone explain what Team Trump Treason has given Dems? Besides a ban on bump stocks?
 https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1111768933651152897
 To be fair... banning bump stocks is more than Obama did
 We can go back to Bush and so on. Why is it suddenly about race when Obama takes office, even though its has been going on for generations?

 This is just insider DC stuff. Real Americans aren't concerned about who has top secret clearance and whether they are potentially compromised.

Because this is how an up and up White House and POTUS should operate, right? But you're "okay with it."
 Ms. Newbold told the committee’s staff members that the clearance applications had been denied for a variety of reasons, including “foreign influence, conflicts of interest, concerning personal conduct, financial problems, drug use, and criminal conduct,” the memo said. The denials by the career employees were overturned, she said, by more-senior officials who did not follow the procedures designed to mitigate security risks.
 In one case, she said that a senior White House official was denied a clearance after a background check turned up concerns about possible foreign influence, “employment outside or businesses external to what your position at the EOP entails,” and the official’s personal conduct. Mr. Kline stepped in to reverse the decision, she said, writing in the relevant file that “the activities occurred prior to Federal service” without addressing concerns raised by Ms. Newbold and another colleague.
 In the case of the second senior White House official, Ms. Newbold told the committee that a specialist reviewing the clearance application wrote a 14-page memo detailing disqualifying concerns, including possible foreign influence. She said that Mr. Kline instructed her “do not touch” the case, and soon granted the official clearance.
 Ms. Newbold also asserted that Trump administration had made changes to security protocols that made it easier for individuals to get clearances. The changes included stopping credit checks on applicants to work in the White House, which she said helps identify if employees of the president could be susceptible to blackmail. She also said the White House had stopped, for a time, the practice of reinvestigating certain applicants who had received security clearances in the past.
