Why do right wing pundits like Bill O and Sean Hannity insist that white guilt is the reason OBama was elected?

I was listening the Rush Limbaugh's show on the internet today ( don't ask me why) and went on ranting about how the only reason O won was because white people felt sorry, didn't want to be called racist, blah blah blah. I'm not sure if this was a clip of another show, or today's show, but either way, all I could do was LMAO. Why is it so hard for people to realize that Obama was just the Better man for the job? John Mccain was old and senile, and had no plans what-so-ever. You know, I had sex with my neighbors daughter one time, doesn't mean I would make her dad president. After almost 2 months, these people continue to whine, and groan, like little girls.

    It is because they cannot accept the fact that a majority of Americans has rejected the policies of the Republicans. Conservatives have always believed that secretly all of us really buy into their philosophy. Barry Goldwater's slogan was, "In your heart, you know he is right."

    So when people actually vote for liberal candidates, conservates are always looking for another explanation. They do not want to believe that we voted for Obama because we like his ideas, and we really don't care very much about the color of his skin.

    WHY? do YOU think BO is better for the job? He has no experience on which to judge his abilities and he wasn't even bright enough to vote anything but *present* while in the Senate. As a white person I would never vote because of any white *guilt* for a man so freaking unqualified. Come back here 5 months from now and we'll talk then!

    I've never heard anyone say anything like this. By the way what is old? McCain is not senile. They are both good men and they both had a plan. I'm glad that Obama is listening to Bush now and taking his advice. I think we are going to see a much different Obama than we have seen in the past. I don't care what color he is either. To me race does not matter.

    the commercial get better is sweet - it took a even as to coach it round, quite with the GOP obstructing each and every thing. smart well being care is a plus. The deficit is shrinking. gas expenses have leveled out and the scandals, quite the GOP synthetic Benghazi disaster is pretend. also, we seem at what the GOP has grew to develop into into and we thank God a Democrat sits interior the White domicile and under no circumstances Romney or any of the different twits of the right Wing.

    They need to be able to wrap their minds around why Obama won. It just so happens that this provides a convenient excuse. The other option would be that the Republican message and ideology is outdated. Oh well another one bites the dust. I'm guessing the Republicans will be reduced to 3rd party status shortly.

    Have a nice day.

    No, BO has a lot of experience...In running for president. He comes from one of the least corrupt political systems in the whole country, and is rarely seen in the company of people that hate America. Allow this man in the high castle question: What if BO was named Barry O'Bama and was white? Is he more qualified than John Edwards?

    That's easier for Rush to swallow than the fact that the Republican "Brand" was so diminished by Bush and Republicans in Congress that the democrats were a shoo in.

    You're right. I hate when I can tell a person's political leaning by the words they use and biased phrasing. Bravo to you for pointing out the problems of flagrant editorializing.
