Race is not irrelevant. Many Blacks voted for him, because he was Black. Many Whites hate him far more than they would a White Dem with the same exact views. The guy in the video says "The Constitution says.." O.K., Right Away I know that's most likely an unfair person. 33% of Americans get an 8%say in whether that Healthcare Bill got through the Senate. That's due to the crap in the Constitution. It's biased. If your quoting it, then most likely you're for bias against some Americans. If you're quoting it with love, then you're often( but not always) backing the unfairness within it.

lol
it's only biased when you disagree with something that has happened. was it biased when they used it to give blacks the right to vote? or women? was it biased when slaveowners had to give up that practice? segregation? prayer in schools? whenever the minorities rights are protected altho many think 'majority rules'?
as for the most recent supreme court ruling allowing corporations and unions (something you see virtually no mention of) the ability to spend money on advertising, the rules that were in place regarding foreign entities, and regarding donations directly to pols are still in place.

this is from factcheck.org, excerpted from their article about his state of the union address:

Foreign Corporations Donating?

The president claimed that "foreign corporations" could begin spending big money to influence U.S. elections under a recent Supreme Court decision.

Obama: Last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests –- including foreign corporations –- to spend without limit in our elections.

Justice Samuel Alito, who with the other justices sat at the very front of the chamber last night, was seen shaking his head and mouthing what appeared to be the words "not true" as Obama said this. Alito joined the majority in the 5-4 Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision issued by the Court last week, which knocked down restrictions on corporate spending on elections.

But it’s unclear whether the court’s opinion will lead to allowing foreign-based corporations to buy campaign ads and engage in other electioneering activities. There is still a law barring foreign corporations from spending money in connection with U.S. elections (see 2 U.S.C. 441e(b)(3)), and that’s a matter likely to be litigated further. The court’s most recent decision explicitly didn’t deal with that question. But strictly speaking, Obama couched his claim as something "I believe," making it a statement of opinion and not of fact. So whether his view turns out to be right remains to be seen.

62% of Obama's votes in 2008 came from whites. The racial thing is irrelevant.

Don't you think that should be changed to start with "re?" It's sadistic to make people spell it that way. They should allow either/or. I'm not spelling it that "ri" way on here anymore. Alert the spelling enforcement official (Black Wind Tongue.)

It's biased against the voting rights of people in certain states. I didn't say it's racist, but it has turned out to be biased in favor of White Voters in small states. The combined population of North n' South Dakota (not many people, btw, and almost all white folks) have twice the say (in the U.S. Senate) as the whole population of the State of New York (which just so happens to have a large minority population.) It's the biased design in the Constitution that's responsible. Healthcare would easily have passed in this country if we had a system that gave everyone equal representation for their vote. It's that U.S. Constitution's biased Senate design that enabled you folks to beat this brotha. You have an advantage, and it's called the piss poor Senate design in the Constitution. He could of got 60% of a fair pool. You're really making him get 65% (in real #s,) and then call him a useless negro if he can't do the impossible feat.
