He was never their friend. But so many Americans lost all confidence in W that it was easy to forget that. What surprised me last November was that the vote was 53-47, that close in the face of the disillusionment with W.
I don’t know if this is general knowledge but in 2008 there was a greater turnout percentage-wise by blacks over whites, first time ever. And still it was 53-47.
Meh, who cares about healthcare! Obama acted stupidly, people, keep opining - we are in the news business, not some kind of “actually relevant information” one!
Actually, there are reports on healthcare - they are just, apparently, less important. I still can’t get used to the gem below - the so-called Obama plan might end up as a big surprise to Obama himself.
SNARK ALERT: : : Well, this is what you get when lefties push their “King” into power over the wishes of 99% of Americans who somehow didn’t get to vote or something! Now we see how it begins. A mixed-race president, getting caught up by events and his own experiences into saying something not politically correct?? We all know that any comment by any black person reflects on the entire black race, whatever that is. The fact that the people involved: the prof, the officer, the Prez, have moved on and solved it as adult individuals will do nothing to keep us from the knowledge that: Black people are trouble! Look, two of the three involved here (not counting the media) are black. Only the police officer is white. How do you not see that as unfair to white people?
It amazes me that you lefties allow a person to be president who is suspect on all of these race-related issues! Obamabots! Oh, the One! Oh, the Rapture! You and your progressive ideas make me sick. Just ask Jesus. END SNARK
I also noted the Mayo clinic backed off their original negative assessment, and it IS up to BOTH parties to hammer out solutions.
Instead of one “master bill”, we really do need some shorter, and more specific pieces of legislation to take on smaller chunks, that can be modified more easily in the future, if “errors” are made in the first versions passed.
People are slowly but surely discovering that 0bama is a Marxist (community organizer) whose ‘new’ ideas have been around for a long time and have been discredited even in western Europe - which why they told him NO, when he asked them to join him in his ‘economic’ program.
Most importantly however, he is anti-American, as are most of you left wing super-intellectuals.
Hey, petergrt proved my point! Thanks, man. You left out the Jesus part, but according to my super-intellectual powers, it’s possible you might be non-Christian; Muslim, etc.
Tee hee: petergrt sez Obama is a Marxist community organizer). Tonite, petergrt and I are going to go out and vandalize the town’s local garden co-op. It took some organizing to get the community’s available harvest volume up to useful levels for our needs, but we’re doing it! Now, however, I see that it’s Marxist. It’s gotta go. I forgot (till peter reminded me) that community organizers are losers and worthy only of sneering contempt. Sigh. I wish I could stop being reminded of that; it makes me feel sad. Like it must feel to be a republican hate-filled obstructionist.
To those of you who don’t know Chicago the term Community Organizer seems to have a totally different meaning than it does in Chicago. Chicago is the home of the ward boss. The alderman who is your representative. CO job is number 1 to get votes. Do whatever is necessary but get the vote. Last I looked 46/47 aldermen were Democrats and Daley was the head of the Democratic party in addition to being mayor.
Garbage not being picked up, call CO. Need a job, call CO. Need to fix a parking ticket? Call CO. all he wants in return is vote Democratic across the board. Not a bad plan but don’t turn the job into something that it isn’t. You are a gofer, a hack and trying to move up the political ranks. You need to make your bones.
David, what did Preznit Bush get reminded of when he opened his mouth before he knew what he was talking about (sooo many times)? Nothing. No one thinks it necessary to give a white man a reminder of what happens when you’re uppity. Disgusting.
GNW, your generalizations about Chicago Dems notwithstanding, please look up Altgert Gardens in Chicago. This is Obama’s organizing. Again, you got nothin.
@ezdeb: If this is your best example of what Obama accomplished he is much worse a CO than anyone imagined. Seriously, why did you bring this up? thought nobody would check?
From wiki
It is one of the densest concentrations of potentially hazardous pollution sources in North America. Many of the landfills that surround them are unregulated, and some of those are still being used. Since most of these landfills as well as many industrial plants are located along the waterways surrounding the area, of the 18 miles (29 km) of rivers and lakes surrounding Altgeld Gardens, 11 miles (18 km) of them are unfit for human consumption and recreation, though many residents still fish in them.
Over the years, Altgeld Gardens has experienced various gang problems – yet the community is not regarded as ridden with the sort of bloody rivalries endemic to the North Side’s Cabrini Green community nor to the Robert Taylor Homes, near the historic Bronzeville neighborhood.
ACORN, and related organizations, with which 0bama has been and continues to be closely associated are pure Marxist!!!
Cuban stile.
I have had personal run ins with ACORN in LA, and it was not pretty. They terrorize (a word I do not take lightly) even the most liberal of politicians. They love America as ‘reverend’ Wright does … and as does 0bama.
Which exactly why he wants to “fundamentally remake America”.
Yes, God help us - a left-wing lobbying/interest group! Everyone knows only right-wing ones have the right to exist! Any left-winger who stands for what they believe for is a Marxist, and a communist, and an America-hater to boot.
Churchill: I still believe the “reminded what happens” is racist. Don’t be so naive as to think that racism doesn’t appear in conversation, especially when the conversation is, um, about race! Phrases like “young buck”, “welfare queen”, etc don’t specifically say threat-from-black-person, but it would be silly to think they aren’t. This is especially true when the “threat” is actively utilized in fear-based campaign ads. Ponder this:
Church, it’s this type of thing I’m talking about:
“It’s not just small fry Republicans who have shown a penchant for making foot-in-the mouth racist cracks, and racially loaded attacks. Prominent Republican Presidents set the tone with their own verbal race bashing.
President Eisenhower never got out of the Old South habit of calling blacks “nigras.” In an infamous and well-documented outburst at a White House dinner party in 1954, Ike winked, nodded, and whispered to Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren that he understood why white Southerners wouldn’t want to “see their sweet little girls required to sit in school alongside some big black buck.”
President Nixon routinely peppered his talks with his confidants with derogatory quips about blacks. He enshrined in popular language racially-tinged code words such as, “law and order,” permissive society” “welfare cheats,” “crime in the streets,” “subculture of violence,” “subculture of poverty,” “culturally deprived” and “lack of family values.” And President Reagan once told a black reporter how he would treat black leaders said, “I said to hell with em.”
So maybe I was thinking of “big black buck”, not young buck. the point is not the particular term, tho, you know that, I’m sure. The video I linked to shows who continues to trot out racism. It isn’t dems or Obama. You’ll never get past Jeremiah Wright. Remember, sir. If one black person says something, even if it’s said loudly, obnoxiously and venomously, it does not represent all black people.
“Of course all of them want the government to take care of them, but the chance of them giving the ultimate sacrifice for the country is Neal.”
I’ll be sure to pass that on to the family of my daughter’s fiancee. The one who voted for Obama and was killed in action in Iraq 1/3/09. Thanks for the pain and unnecessary division, striper. That’s what you offer.
striper; If half the population (The one who won the election AND popular vote, unlike somebody else) of your country is so abominable, have you ever considered moving away to, let’s say, Iran? No abortions, opposition or gays there.
stripper’s posts are just mind boggling. Between the lies, dam lies, and misused statistics and his foaming at the mouth hatred… I just don’t have enough time to refute it all.
church, is Mr. Charles’ ideology supposed to add something to this topic? In the 20th century, it just has not been the republican party that has fought for the rights of common people at all, let alone minorities or oppressed groups. Color me unconvinced.
And yes, Reagan signed the bill into law, but it was only because he saw the writing on the wall. He and his fellows did not agree with automatic civil rights and considered MLK an agitator.
