1. Suggests that he is shameful of his race, therefore will lose a large majority of black supporters, as well as whiteBleaching your skin white doesnt necessarily make it look like you are shameful of your race, but it definitely will not lose the support of black people in the next election. Obama can simply claim that he has a slowly progressing form of Vitiligo, a disease where black people literally turn white over time, and the bleaching of his skin would be to make it more uniform rather than a mash of white band black skin everywhere. http://en.wikipedia.org..."Democrats get a vast majority of the black vote. Obama received an astounding 95% of the African American vote last election."Exactly! Obama already has massive support from the blacks but blacks have always supported the Democrats since the days of FDR, and a skin color change may alienate a few voters, but hes going against Mitt Romney. Who do you think black people will vote for? A guy who used to be black and is changing or a rich white dude who has always been rich and always be white? The move to whiteness though would help Obama because since he is making it look like a natural disease, people could accept it and not hold it against him. What does Obama have to gain from doing such a thing? To get the conservative voteMost conservatives claim to not like Obama because of his policies or his ideas, but in reality they only dislike him because hes black.... Its true if you could get inside a conservatives head to find out why they hate Obama, its because hes black, any other reason they give is just bullsh*t. Now that Obama is white people are less speculative about him, they dont fear him as much, they dont ask for his birth certificate, they actually consider giving him credit for killing bin Laden, all of these doors start to open up. Americans naturally are a little more cautious over letting a black person run their country, but if its a white dude then people dont care as much, So Obama does have the potential to gain support with this move. "2. Puts a negative light on the way foreign countries look at America"Foreign countries already look at America like its full of crazy people, have you seen the sh*t weve caused in the past 20 years alone? Let me recap we have two wars that cost billions of dollars, there was the Bosnian war which could have went much better, Somalia is really f*cked up because of us now, We are a really heavy polluter, and thats just off of the top of my head. My point is compared to the other crap the US has done, A black president suddenly becoming white would barely even arouse interest compared to what weve done in the past. "the whole world would be squenching their eyebrows and scratching their head at the thought of the most powerful man in the world attempting to garner more election points by actually changing his skin color in the same fashion of a late pop idol."He doesnt have to announce the reason hes doing it though, he doesnt even have to say that he wants to all he has to do is say that he has the disease and then act the way he normally does and no one could blame him for it. It may raise eyebrows but as long as Obama makes it look like a progressive disease against his will rather then a strategic election move nobody will give him flak over it. "3. Craziness of the idea would initiate a negative light on the way people think of him""What are all the crazy things Obama has done?"Name a few"The president of the United States, often considered the most powerful position in the world, walking in the foot-steps of Michael Jackson and bleaching his skin white is indeed a crazy proposition and would only cause citizens... to look on in disapproval"Unless he doesnt make it look intentional"He'd probably use the tax-payers money too"Government already uses our taxes to fight wars, arrest us, detain us, and even kill us, I think a one time investment using tax payers money wouldnt be a big deal considering some of the other things the government has blown our money on (like abortions, how the f*ck did that happen?)"4. Being black is an advantage. Why take it away?""Many people are proud that we have a black president. Thus Obama is unique, and in a very good way. Taking away this advantage is nothing short of sillyness."He already served four years as being black, the next four years he would be white, so history will still see him as the first black president. That landmark of him though isnt much of a tool to use in the election anymore though, it is now just an interesting gambling piece at his exposal and he if he were to use it to his gain then why shouldnt he?========================================================================================================================================================Here are my main points1) Blacks always vote Democrat anyway, and black people would still support a White Obama over Mitt Romney2) If Obama made it look like a disease that was progressing against his will, then people would accept that he cant fight it and wouldnt haze him over it3) If Obama was white people would be a little more open-minded about his ideas since people are a lot more hesitant to trust a black person then a white person. 4) Being black isnt a good tactic to get votes anymore, at least not as well as it was back in 2008. Obama though can still use his skin color to his advantage to gain more votes by changing it5) Obama will and always will be the first black president, and he was black for a full 3 and a half years, turning white wont undo what he has already accomplished. Back to you Pro :D
