I have no bone to pick with you, Bigmon. I enjoy your posts. So, don't get all defensive when I ask this...just HOW does it do so?

I understand the whole reverse racist argument. But, I find it difficult to believe that he would be racist against his OWN MOTHER'S race. Or that of his Grandmother who helped raise him. He may have grown up poor, as he says, but I bet it was in a poor WHITE neighborhood. I've heard no evidence that he was "beat down" for being a little (half)black child by his white neighbors.

But, whether he's racist or not (and I don't believe he IS,) my question is what part of this thread starting post SHOWS that to you. I'm really interested. Maybe, I can learn something if you can make an argument for your position.

Your "twitter-length" post doesn't quite make your case. ;)

:argue:

:D

And some are worried about Ms. O'Donnell "dabbling" in witchcraft when she was in high school when she was 16-17yrs old? This is the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES when he was an adult! It wasn't just "dabbling", it went on for a while. Again, his words, not mine. And yes, I just put in the pertinent parts. Cut and Paste as it were. Does it make it any different? And they are slamming tea party folks? Amazing.

I've got no problem with somebody experimenting with stuff or even doing some of this stuff. You realize that it's not the way to go, you made a mistake and you move on. What I do have a problem with is the A**HOLES, (Lib's), slamming other folks for their mistakes when they have done the same or worse. From either party!

Effect of Obama's Candor Remains to Be Seen

Senator Admitted Trying Cocaine in a Memoir Written 11 Years Ago

Long before the national media spotlight began to shine on every twist and turn of his life's journey, Barack Obama had this to say about himself: "Junkie. Pothead. That's where I'd been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man. . . . I got high [to] push questions of who I was out of my mind."


Obama's revelations were not an issue during his Senate campaign two years ago. But now his open narrative of early, bad choices, including drug use starting in high school and ending in college, as well as his tortured search for racial identity, are sure to receive new scrutiny.

Didn't Obama in one of his books hint around that he may have tried a little homo-sex act? I THINK I REMEMBER HEARING ABOUT THAT and no I'm not wasting my time looking it up! You can believe it , prove it, or disprove it, it's up to you.

Hobo, I could be wrong but I did hear something about his mom and how he may have been raised by her. If it is true then it seems he has a bone to pick with everyone. The story pissed folks off at the WH.

How Obama Thinks - Forbes.com

The WH response:Howard Kurtz - White House rips Forbes article

This morning on the news they showed Obama at a town meeting with his former supporters. One woman said that she was exhausted defending him. It is interesting to see his base fall away. Most of those shown said something about being disappointed at the type of change he has made. It was interesting.

He's talking to the Black Caucus telling THEM to get back to their barbershops etc. Who is THEM and notice these are all businesses blacks tend to own. Like Earl the barber. The way he makes his statements comes across and blacks against the MAN.

You know she was racist? I know she was black, but still, isn't anybody that speaks against obama a racist?

I'm so sick of hearing that. But yet when a black person speaks out nothing is said.

That lady owned him at the Town Hall Meeting. He wasn't quite ready for that to come out in a meeting where the people allowed in were screened so he wouldn't get a question he wasn't ready for. Notice how he stumbled for an answer and never actually answered her question but instead went into a campaign mode of "look what I did here." His face was priceless as she slowly unloaded on him, you could see the wheels turning in his head of, "Oh crap I can't answer this."

That is the way Obama and the Democrats like it. If they can keep a wedge between certain groups of Americans they can maintain control. It is like the magician who uses slight of hand to make us believe in magic. You look at one hand while the other is doing the trick. If they can keep blacks in an uproar against whites then they can exercise control. They want to do the same thing with the Hispanic community. Some of those who have been fooled are waking up and are beginning to see what is going on.

Just look at all the racists organizations they support such as the Black Caucus, Black Chamber of Commerce, Miss Black America, Jet Magazine, Ebony Magazine, Black Entertainment TV, etc., All of these are racist organizations. These would not be tolerated if you substituted "white" for "black." Blacks are called African American even if they have been in this country for generations. I wonder what would happen if White people started calling themselves "European Americans?" We are all AMERICANS if we were born in this country. By using hyphenated names it provides a division between the races.

Obama and the Democrats also like to drive a wedge between the rich and poor. They have pushed an agenda of entitlement where some citizens are told that they are entitled to certain benefits from the government. They also tell those who are poor and the middle class that the reason they don't have any more than they do is because of the rich. If the rich paid more taxes then they poor or middle class would have more. It is a lie, but millions of Americans have fallen for their lies. It would not have been so easy to happen 30 or 40 years ago when children were educated and learned how our government and economy works. Socialism was NEVER taught in our schools as it is today.
