October 9, 201510 yr Still not comfortable with the picture being painted that to be accepted as black you must fit a certain mold. They will probably be accepted, just not elected.
October 9, 201510 yr Are you sure? I thought that unemployment numbers had improved. You ARE kidding, right? The only reason unemployment numbers appear better is because the government cooks the numbers. They no longer count people who have given up trying to find employment as unemployed (that makes sense, doesn't it?). Look at it this way - the employment rate is the lowest it has been in 40-50 years. The number of Americans NOT working is at an all time high - close to 100 million people now. Wages adjusted for inflation have gone DOWN during Obama's administration and all of these numbers are much worse for blacks than whites. So no, the numbers have not improved.
October 9, 201510 yr ^ Never seen this level of vitriol for a president - sitting or otherwise - since I was old enough to remember (born in DDE, can remember JFK). Not even remotely close. And I'm not even considering social media. This is live conversation. I disagree. GW received equal heat from the left.

And Obama is responsible for it all. Got it.
October 9, 201510 yr These are the same numbers the Republican Party used to justify blocking extending unemployment benefits a few years ago. Cutting off a million unemployed workers at Christmas time including me. So if the numbers are cooked like you think it wasn't only used to Obamas advantage politically
October 9, 201510 yr And he's Muslim. Don't forget that one... And the only Muslim I know that goes to a baptist church on the south side of Chicago and prays with Rev. Jeremiah Wright
October 9, 201510 yr And Obama is responsible for it all. Got it. I don't think he said that, only questioned the blind support given the circumstances. Presidents take the heat and the glory, just like quarterbacks, regardless of their role.
October 9, 201510 yr I disagree. GW received equal heat from the left. Has anyone ever accused GW for being Muslim for the foreign aid he gave to Muslim countries? I wasn't a bush fan but I never said I pray for his death. The issue we have on the right is they our drifting to far right.. And getting rid of the moderate republican base. Boehner got ran out for his willingness to reach across the aisle. Furthermore we have created a hatred for people that are Muslim.. We demonize them as sub human tyrants... Kind of like we did with Asians when we fought Japan, Korea and Vietnam. We also seem to forget all the atrocities committed by Christians in the name of their God. Anyway Obama is more moderate than FDR , JFK etc. But he is black and the Fox News Kool aid is flowing freely in this country.
October 9, 201510 yr And the issue we have on the left is they are drifting too far to the left and getting rid of the moderate democrats. Both sides are at fault but neither side sees it.
October 9, 201510 yr I disagree. GW received equal heat from the left. Nope. W got heat. Obama gets straight hate, Big difference.
October 9, 201510 yr Nope. W got heat. Obama gets straight hate, Big difference. Top 10: Most vile anti-Bush signs [sLIDESHOW] | The Daily Caller
October 9, 201510 yr Top 10: Most vile anti-Bush signs [sLIDESHOW] | The Daily Caller The majority of those are from white people. The only black person I saw said he was the worst president ever. Wow, how hateful. Bush wasn't hit by racist, xenophobic idiots from all angles like Obama.
October 9, 201510 yr The majority of those are from white people. The only black person I saw said he was the worst president ever. Wow, how hateful. Bush wasn't hit by racist, xenophobic idiots from all angles like Obama. So hate only matters if it's from a different race ? I'm sure with 5 Mins on Google I could give you examples.
October 9, 201510 yr The majority of those are from white people. The only black person I saw said he was the worst president ever. Wow, how hateful. Bush wasn't hit by racist, xenophobic idiots from all angles like Obama. Seriously do some of you have amensia on the hate directed toward Bush? It doesn't excuse bad behavior towards Obama , but to act like it's new is just silly and against all facts.
October 9, 201510 yr So hate only matters if it's from a different race ? I'm sure with 5 Mins on Google I could give you examples. Nope, that would be you asking that.I'm sure within 5 mins on google I could easily fined triple any riducle against Obama.
