I know what it is--you guys have Obama Tourette's!

"We still have high unemployment left over from Bush"

"IT'S OBAMA'S FAULT!"

"An oil company punched a hole in the ocean and the Earth is bleeding to death"

"IT'S OBAMA'S FAULT!"

"Tiger Woods"

"IT'S OBAMA'S FAULT!"

"Gary Coleman had a brain hemorrhage and died"

"IT'S OBAMA'S FAULT!"

etc.

You are inventing a wonderful system for yourself where you need only to defend Obama by pointing out that he is attacked only because he is black. I think it is kind of a lazy system. I hope your brain doesn't seize up from inactivity using it.

I am hoping for better from our community leader/president in the future. We need better. My future is tied to what he is going to do the next couple years so it is a selfish motive for wishing him better.

It is really not the color thing at all.

It is the Chicago-style Pol stereotype B.O. admires and practices at each and every opportunity. This is why at the more local "community organizer" level he was successful on Chicago's southside. Further, we never even gave him a chance at the national level as a U.S. senator from Illinois as the lemmings in both media and academia paved his way in a truly ignorant and ill-advised strategy as he became the most powerful person on the planet.

However, more fundamental now at the global level as the Cdr-in-Chief, he must display a far more wise and mature approach than that of a gang member or punk from Chicago. This immature and reactionary approach to his overwhelming predictament within the truly extraordinary circumstances he faces today - national and international - will continue to dictate failure.

He is not Presidential for certain!

(Note: For informational purposes, I am a former Chicagoan ("Vote early, vote often.") and I think my dead grandfather (1960) still votes in his southside ward.)

What Obama is not is stupid. That does not mean he does not do stupid things but he has the ability to learn. It is on that I base my hopes for better choices by him in the future.

The color defense you will understand if you follow these forums much and read Beavis posts. You would think that black constituents would be backing his every play if color was truly a factor. They are getting dismayed with his performance as much as the rest.

I will say this about Obama. He is refreshing compared to Bush. He is just not the leader I hoped he would be.

I'm quite certain that if Barack Obama was a white man, you would be referring to him as a "gang member."

Riiiiiiiiight.

Since you apparently don't get it, why should Baldy?

Point is, you complain about something--your complaint is completely either a. answered, or b. exposed as ridiculous, not factual, or an outright lie...but you keep repeating it anyway.

When all questions have been answered, but the questioner keeps insisting they haven't, something else is going on.

Now on THIS statement we can agree completely, although we disagree on what form that "leadership" should be taking, and why it hasn't so far.

Well, sir, as with the rest of your "libtarded community" you enjoy representing while readily exploiting racial stereotypes and similar principles, I never equated "blackness" with gang-membership. There are millions of white, yellow and brown gang members across the country. B.O. has plenty of white gang-members with him by the way (e.g., Emanuel, Axelrod, Jarret, etc.). OBE

Thanks, Grand Dragon, I'll keep your spew in mind.

OBE is correct in the point that our President did come out of the Chicago political machine that has long history of corruption, and affiliation with a (mostly white) gang mentality. I don't assume that he is corrupt as a result. The race card gets old and reminds me of the boy who cried wolf. When we really do have people acting with racist motivation it does no good to call everyone on the right a racist. It's like calling everyone on the left a socialist. You're free to say it, but that doesn't mean that you're right.
