Yeah, but the reality is that even though Obama has done a bunch of things I don't agree with and think he shouldn't have done at all, I can't remember the last time the Republicans (and even some Democrats) in Congress have tried to fight against damn near everything Obama has tried to get into law, no matter how beneficial it might be for the American peoplelike Obamacare, which eight million people have signed up for so far, despite the Tea Party nuts
There aren't "Tea Party nuts." You're an beep activista,
because you have to disparage a group that fights against a corrupt president.
screaming about it being a waste of time beep them,anyway.) It seems like John Boehner spends more damn time trying to fight Obama than actually trying to meet him halfway. Even the Minority Leader of the Senate, Mitch McConnell, said the Repubs goal was to make Obama a one term presidenteven if he didn't actually say that until 2010, the fact remains that he still actually said it:

Also, when the hell has ANY President ever been hounded to death about his birth certificate to the most ridiculous degree. I don't EVER recall any president during my lifetime EVER being grilled over and over again about THEIR birth certificate. Even John McCain, who was born on a U.S. military base in Panama, didn't have the issue of where he was born thrown front and center like that while he was running for President in '08. And if the Tea Party thought things were so damn bad, how come they didn't form until after Bush left office? The economy wasn't doing all that great before Bush left office, but no one ever seems to point that outit's just easier to blame everything on Obama,
even though he pretty much inherited Bush's messes, like the war and the economic collapse.
You can't use those excuses anymore. President Obama has had to own his own failures.
He has been in office long enough.
And let's not overlook the very real fact that a lot of people,even to this day,can't stand and still even hate the fact that a black man got into office in the first place, because it just blows the hell out of all their stupid-a**, outdated racist beliefs that only white people are fit to rule because they're white and the majority. You even had some idiots who knew better claiming he couldn't have written his own biographythe man's a Harvard graduate, for God's sakebasically, he gets disrespected and challenged in so many ways that a white President would NEVER even be challenged on. So, Mr. Freeman is right. It isn't racist to say you have problems with Obama, but let's be realfor some people, the fact that he is black is ALWAYS going to be a problemlet's get that straight right away
No, let's be honest. From Day One, the media, President Obama, the Administration, Democrats, and liberals in general call anyone who disagrees
with President Obama on policies(or Eric Holder, etc.) a racist. -

American citizenship, for one thing ***wipe, and the fact he hypocritically hides behind Christian values then supports gays. I'm gay and conservative and he is the ultimate in dichotomy. His presidency, i fear, was funded by one of the wealthiest women of color and its obvious.

One of the most stunningly intractable posts I've ever read on this here forum.
Since I'm not currently plugged into the running monologue inside your brain, let I suggest that you make some effort to resolve the seeming contradictions in your words. -

Agreed, most don't even seem to think that was strange or uncalled for, how Trump, Tea Party, Palin etc were talking about his birth certificate.

@CIP Pride
that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever
please tell me when was racism in america eradicated for you to make that statement? what year?
Because I totally missed it reading the studies that show that minorities are still discriminated against in the education, medical and judicial systems. Thats in THIS century. -

He didn't say that about all Obama "haters", but there IS a large contingent who play upon his racial background as a reason they consider him to be a failure as President.
IMHO, Obama's a lighter version of George Dubya Bush in terms of affecting change in government. Conservative GOP voters really have no reason to "hate" Obama since he's done nothing to hurt them economically or socially.
The ACA isn't even panning out to be this apocalyptic travesty they've been campaigning against since 2010.
If you're a Socialist, Communist, or Green voter in this country then I can see why the would HATE Obama on certain issues like the environment and falling short on "single payer" in Healthcare reform, or not closing down GITMO as promised, but other than that Republican outrage is manufactured and hypocritical on many levels. -
joekiddlouischama — 11 years ago(August 25, 2014 08:59 PM)
But then when it came to Obama, he said the only reason people don't like him is because he is black.
I don't think that he actually said that
As for Black History Month, I'm sure that he found the concept "ridiculous" because he felt that black history should be studied all the time, not just in February. -

Yes the Tea Party hates Carson, because he is black. No wait, bad example Carson is liked. Maybe because Carson believes in Capitalism and is a Christian???
Maybe the Tea Party dislikes Obama, because he said he would help special interest groups and this includes blacks, YET blacks are doing worse under Obama. Wait though, the Washington Cartel, which makes up the 1% of the riches are getting richer under Obama. Even Sanders understands this. YET Sanders pushes Socialism that will increase the wealth of the 1%, even though it is a Catch 22, as Sanders argues he is against the 1%. -

Obama was the first black president, it was an obvious race issue. Race was also the reason why he was elected though. I think Carson would be a good candidate for the Repubs but it doesn't seem to be going that way anymore. The two major candidates are Hilary and Trump, and both would make terrible presidents. Especially Trump it'd be scary if he was elected, I'd leave the country if things got too bad, and they are already bad enough.

What is wrong with Hilary?
I'm not saying a lot is right with her, and I don't like legacy presidents, but I don't understand why people don't trust her and think something is inherently bad about her being President. I really don't understand what she's done to make people think she's not trustworthy of the mantle of Presidency. What's she going to do. Sell us to Putin for a few million dollars?
I'm not a woman much less Deanna Durbin, but the old-time glam-shot appeals to me. -

Well, if calling a 'spade a spade' is wrong, then let's take him out back and beat the crap out of him! In 2005 he stated a truth, when you stop pre-qualifying statements without stating race, then it does NOT matter. They do not announce at the Academy Awards, "Now for Best Actor in a Leading Role, Morgan Freeman, an African-American man . . ."
He is trying to say, NOT stating that a man is black, or not even thinking what color, nationality, or religion IS complete non-racism. The only time a man should be called "Black" is when describing a fleeing suspect. It is similar to a hiring boss, he can only look at a resume, no name, no age, and no physical appearance, then he hires based on education and experience, be it man, woman, pink-colored, or any other traits that can be observed that have no bearing on one's ability to do the job.
Now, President Obama has had his movements as President curtailed by a Congress who do not want him to "shine" as the first black President
Two completely different situations, unless all you see is black and white.
