Florida Republican Candidate's Ad Depicts Obama As Captain of Slave Ship

​Portraying our first African-American president as the captain of a slave ship in a political ad probably isn't the world's best idea. Mark Oxner, a Republican running for Congress in the Orlando area, did just that. It's not so much offensive, really, as it is laughably terrible.



Get it? Obama is enslaving our children with debt.

Redistricting will probably result in a new congressional district covering parts of Orlando. It will likely lean Democrat, and our old pal Alan Grayson will be running. So is this Oxner fellow. It appears this race could very well be a hilariously horrible one to watch.

Wait. Was it not the republicans that had rack up 12-trillion in debt before Obama became president. Was it not the Republicans that drove the economy into a ditch with deregulating banks and the home bubble that busted in the mortgage market. Are not the republicans the obstructions and party of no plan. And then on top of it all want to steer the US back to the same old pollutants and dividing the country rather the bring consensus. I say bring back the centrist and independents, dump the tea party republicans and conservatives. Bring in a GOP of moderates and centrist that can come to agreement. Other wise we are doomed.

It seems that we have short memory,  The fiasco was not created by Obama, he is trying to fix what is almost  unfixable.

Max Oxner, another FL Republican douche.  No coincidence he looks like that pro-wrestling manager 'Paul Bearer'...
