To be fair to President Obama....

Post by catamount man »

....I look back and America in 2008 was just not properly conditioned culturally to accept a black man as President. It's sad. You would think 40 years after the Civil Rights era that Americans would've and should've behaved better but sadly, that was not to be. God love him, but he knows he's gone in January 2013 but I applaud him for taking the bold step and at least putting a crack in the good ole boy politics that we have been a slave too for far too long.

I didn't watch the videos but I totally disagree with your statement. To say American is not ready to accept a black man as president condemns the majority for the views of the minority. If American hadn't been ready to accept an african american as president, they wouldn't have voted for him.

Two cents.

There's no reason to watch the videos. Cman just showed the 0.1%, the lunatic fringe that occupies each end of the political spectrum.

Not that you would care but I am not currently on any meds nor have ever been on meds except BP medicine and I haven't needed a BP pill in 6 months. Last test showed 120/74. Drinking? I had 2 beers last night actually but other than that, I feel great.

Don't you just love this spin that any and all who failed to vote for Obama is inherently a racist.

There are plenty of African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans who are vastly more qualified to be President than the Commie occupying the White House right now. That's why I voted for Keyes in a few primaries.

This "you're not Black if you're not liberal" nonsense has got to go.

Not just that:
Bush had the whole "Stimulus checks" program where he took money from me and gave it to other people...and his record setting deficit spending... and protection of giant corporations etc. etc. all very Socialist

Obama has simply obliterated those numbers... :rofl: and protected different corporations - heck he even has corporations writing bills (Awesome)

The military, police and fire departments are supposed to be governmental functions.
At least that's what the socialist Benjamin Franklin thought. :lol: ;)

And i will tell you this: If those actions had happened at the end of Bush's FIRST term, I would NOT have voted for him for a second term. He completely lost any shred of respect I still had for him and his (albeit) warped principles with those socialist actions.

I have been, from the very beginning, against the stimulus, bailouts and corporate protectionism.

Not quite, he's still got his tired argument that a vote for someone other than McCain was a vote for Obama. ASUMountaineer is all too familiar with that one. :lol:
