He finally makes his claim for why anyone is better than the US, but no real argument is offered for why. Just the claim Obama is the reason and thus anyone is better, with a few examples..

When asked what's wrong with Obama or just to give any specifics for what he's trying to say...

Notice that once again, no actually arguments are offered.

So... offensive, even by his own admission, comparisons are made to people who purged members of the posters own family and statements throughout the thread about how the US is evil, but no arguments.

Just to add to that, from another thread...

Also from that other thread:


"I don't think anybody was genuinely scared of Bush. You know who else the Americans were scared of? The king of Great Britain."

"I know how you're government works. Some guy comes out and says "Look at me! I'm not Bush! And I'm also black" and he suddenly becomes president."

"Americans are deluded, thinking it's still a "war or no war" question. The time for choices is over, and if US forces pull out of Iraq, well, if you think it's bad now, you're in for a surprise."

"I just want the US to lose already. Worst hyperpower ever."

A rather strange one: "No, you're not imperialists. ROME was imperialist. And you are no Rome."

Possibly flamebait - it's definitely designed to cause a fuss. It might also be trolling, since he also says he doesn't actually care to continue that discussion off in it's own thread.

I'm disinclined to warn over that level of mild trolling. He's on the edge, but I'm not convinced he's crossed over the line yet.

Said the Nazi to the Jew.

The Europeans wouldn't fight back if the enemy was already in Berlin and Paris.

So let's see all black people are going to torture and kill white if they get into power. The US is worse than Nazi Germany and Obama is more terrifying than Stalin and Hitler. And he's calling people Nazis.

If all blacks will do X and comparing Obama to every horrible dictator in history because all black will do X then what is trolling?

The important thing is that he managed to kill a lot of people. And isn't that, after all, what leadership is all about?

Well, you're nuts.


Not much on its own, but given the poster's (ongoing) history...

I think he was being satirical/ironic and cynical there.
