Obama Seattle

The Republicans are doing it: Ben Quayle, son of former Vice President Dan Quayle and now a Republican candidate for Congress in Arizona, states unequivocally in a campaign ad that “Barack Obama is the worst president in history.”

Bam!

The Democrats are doing it: In The Wall Street Journal this summer, Democratic stalwarts Patrick Caddell (pollster for Jimmy Carter) and Douglas E. Schoen (pollster for Bill Clinton) badmouthed President Obama, accusing him of a “cynical approach to governance.” They said his divisiveness “has weakened us as a people and paralyzed our political culture.”

Pow!

In fact, everybody is doing it: According to a recent Gallup Poll, the president’s job approval rating has fallen from 68 percent in January of 2009 to 42 percent in mid-August 2010. A recent Time magazine story explored “How Barack Obama Became Mr. Unpopular.”

An AIDS activist shouts slogans during a protest in New York City on May 13. The president was at a fundraiser in the city and activists were protesting his administration’s policies on AIDS funding.

Kerblooey!

More and more people are hating on the president. What is a loathed leader to do?

Wailing On The White House

For one thing, says presidential historian Catherine Allgor of University of California Riverside, President Obama should take comfort in knowing that hypercriticism of the president is a revered American tradition. “Even George Washington — who was often regarded as a demi-god — came in for his share of snarky remarks,” Allgor says.

Text continues after Pictures of the week gallery:

Venom and vitriol coursed through the veins of early America. Congressman John Randolph called sitting President James Madison weak and feeble, Allgor says, and accused Madison of corruption, bribery and whore-mongering.” Presidents’ wives were also fair game in the public discourse,” Allgor says. “This same Virginia Congressman accused Thomas Jefferson of pimping out Dolley Madison and her sister to foreign dignitaries.”

One problem today, says Douglas Wead, who was a special assistant to President George H.W. Bush, is that older Baby Boomers grew up in the Eisenhower years — when “there was a national consensus leader, after facing an enemy, with moral certainty on our part.” That generation, Wead says, thought that political harmony and relative homogeneity was the national norm. Consequently, the Boomers see the subsequent bitterness in presidential politics as an aberration. “I am afraid,” Wead says, “it is the other way around.”

    Obama is NOT the wort president (BUSH is), but I think it might be TOO LATE for him to be ranked with those PHONIES that schools had BRAINWASHD us to believe back in the day like George Wahington, Lincoln and OPP( Other p***y playa) Thomas Jefferson…….

    This is Mr.Obama Karma. He kiss white people ass the last 3 years and diss us and he is now having his N****r wakeup moment. Didn’t Rev.Wright and others warn his ass. Robert Gibbs was right last month when he talked about how the left is as bad as the right. Remember brothers and sisters it was the left that used racism when he was running,the gay community and the latin community that has b***hed and moaned about him not moving fast enough for them,but tells us a rising tide and that other stuff. As I said before Karma Karma Karma.Do I feel sorry for him yes and no. As a blackman I wanna defend him,but as a blackman I’ve seen what blackman like President Obama would do for me ? Nothing!! I warned friends and family this would happen and now they wanna get pissed. We been warned. And it not just the right that wants him to fail. This country still see us as N****rs and until we stand with each other they will play these gotcha games with us.

    Hating On The President: A Great American Pastime | News One…

    I found your entry interesting do I’ve added a Trackback to it on my weblog :)…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/infinite_question/ infinite_question

    its’ reality. the democrats have become victims of their own success in that they’re stuck between a rock and a hard place. on one side we have the gop, who want NO progression in congress at all. hence the name con-servative (con meaning against or the opposite of pro). on the other side he has the progressives like me, who are loosing patience with this democratically centered administration. progressives are the evolution of the democratic party, whos ideas USUALLY include legalization of controlled substances, a public option, gay marriage, amnesty of “so called” illegal immigrants, and a miniscule military. all of which were compromised OUT of the legislation passed, one by one. the opposition DID NOT all come from the gop, and we recognize this.

    does this mean that the country is leaning to conservative values? f*ck no! it means that democrats are loosing the progressives by ignoring them and progressives will ignore them in nov. the left movement is so huge, that the only way the gop or the tea party have a chance is IF we sit this one out.

    honestly, i think it would be a good learning experience for the democrats that have been in office for more than 3 or 4 terms. they will see that they cant serve 2 masters, they had to choose who would get the short end of the stick. i believe that the NEXT time they have a super majority, they will shut the door on lobbyist and get to the business of WE THE PEOPLE, for a CHANGE we actually can belive in.

    KML at the title of the topic(“Hating On The President: A Great American Pastime”)

    Didn’t you really meant to state HATING ON A BLACK MAN IS (“A GREAT AMERICAN PASTIME”)Hating on a BLACK MAN period is the GREAT AMERICAN PASTIME. The President is FIRST TIME on and being used to KEEP the STEREOTYPE OF THE BLACK MAN/RACE has been going on for YEARS and still GOING ON NOW. After all this is what got the “Republicans” really talking. Nothing like having a BLACK MAN running things in WHITE AMERICA. Because in their EYES thats A SIN.(JMO and paid for by me.)

    @jazzwatch-I agre with you.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    @Infinite_Question. That’s a good post brother and it has risen above your typical rose colored glasses outlook, and it appears as though you are looking at this thing with some balance. BHO has been a Centrist which in my view is impossible to actually pull off in this country. People seem to prefer a candidate to pick a side and stick to it rather than playing the middle or trying to balance on the fence. BHO would have been better to stick to his guns and lose on the Public option than capitulate for the sake of the “headline.” By doing so, he only disappointed his base, and lets be honest, didn’t gain any new allies from the other side of the aisle. Independents will probably look at that as weakness and either sit out or take their vote elsewhere..

    Also, I’m sure you realize that a great deal of blacks who voted for Obama are not as committed to the political game as you are and probably won’t even be out this Nov. There entire plan was to vote a black man in for the sake of history. I firmly believe that you voted for him for the sake of ushering in a new system, but I think you are indeed a part of a small minority, if the supporters of BHO here on BP are any indication.

    Lastly. All Presidents catch the same amount of criticism as BHO. People believe BHO catches more only because prior to this, they weren’t even paying attention. Damn, they tried to IMPEACH WJC. Carter, Reagan, Bush etc. Can someone name me one President who didn’t CATCH hell in the form of criticism?

    and to blame all that on obama when he took office in the begginin of the the recession is just pure ignorance to think everything was gonna get solved in 2 years

    …or whenever you started to bash the poor man…..

    to be up in here talking about economy and politics it dont seem like you knew that recessions are ESTIMATED to take years to recover…the great depression took 43 months before we recovered….

    we had two recessions 1973-75 and 1981-82 that lasted 16 months each…..

NO OTHER PAST PRESIDENT CAN BE COMPARED TO PRESIDENT OBAMA.(HE IS BLACK DAMNIT.) NOT ONLY IS HE TAKING ON THE SH!T TALK FOR SOME OF THE FOOLS WHO ACT LIKE THEY ARE BLIND AND FAIL TO SEE HE IS TAKING ON RACISM AS WELL. NO OTHER PAST PRESIDENT HAS WENT THREW THAT SH!T BECAUSE HE WAS THE RIGHT COLOR FOR THE AMERICAN EYE. Some people just need to get off that DAMN DENIAL DRUG.(JMO and im still sticking to it.)

    To me, the hatred isn’t the issue, since as _A_ stated, every president gets their share of idiotic resentment.

    Although _A_ I think you’re wrong when you say that BHO hasn’t received worse than most POTUSes..(he got the anti-Black haters, anti-Muslim haters AND the anti-liberal haters), but like I said, I don’t think that’s the real issue here.

    I think the bigger issue is HOW a President and his/her Administration OVERCOME the
    haters. To that end, I don’t think President Obama or his Administration are doing enough.

    They seriously need a media engine similar or greater than the one that opposes them. To me, it seems as though the Democrats are TOO SCARED to consistently point out their accomplishments in light of the current economic crisis. Basically, meaning that they are wary of praising their own efforts, because many in the U.S. are still in pain.

    While I understand that (I wouldn’t talk about how great I am at my job is to an unemployed person, either), they need to realize that while individuals are intelligent, masses of people are incredibly STUPID and repetition is the only way they’ll even remember what you did.

    If the Dems don’t pull out the stops and simply reference what they’ve done for this country, the lies, the slander and the ignorance will push the future elections out of reach.

    the recession started in 2007…..
    http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2008/07/31/the-gdp-debate-did-a-recession-start-in-2007/

    the president at the time didnt take care of it….obama was elected in 2009…..as stated below in my post a recession takes a few years and some took up to 16 months……..

    the president before obama had from 2007 to 2009 to fix the problem…..thats 24 whole months and the president at the time didnt fix it….

    so how is it thats its obama fault why we still in a recession or not out of a recession?….

    things take time and i dont see where he failin so far so yall need to chirp down da noise and watch and see before you start passing judgment….i wonder how many of yall did vote…..

    _A_ lives in bahamas so i know he dont vote for sure…

    how long has obama bin in office now?….ABOUT 18 months right?….give the man a break….

    the only problem i see with him being the president is he ran for presidency the wrong time and if he comes out of this the champion we can at least say he was the best cas he has bin tested by stress and time and his haters…and if he dont come out champion i still give him props for trying cas he never ran from the challenge nor is seeking to hand it over to the president to solve like how some other president did….

    let the man nuts breathe

    _A_ “Just Curious Infinite_Question. How you feel about BHO now talking about continuing the Bush Tax Cuts in addition to the 200B tax cuts he will provide to business?”

    hes a centrist, its not like he started an illegal war. i dont agree with tax cuts for the 250,000 folks. i was against tarp, but i agree with the stimulus. i also disagree with the tax cuts for businesses to “get them hiring agian” and every second we are in afghan. i am in favor of another stimulus that focuses ONLY on mass transportation, cleaner energy, and electric cars (aka green jobs).

    i will vote this nov IF
    1 he appoints elizabeth warren as head of the cpa
    2 gives a SOLID withdrawal date from afghan, OR
    3 decides AGAINST the tax cuts for the wealthy

    i wouldnt expect this type of legislation from mccain or bush, BUT pres obama has the charisma to get at least one of these goals accomplished by nov.

    Recessions are generally believed to be caused by a widespread drop in spending. Governments usually respond to recessions by adopting expansionary macroeconomic policies, such as increasing money supply, increasing government spending and decreasing taxation.~~~wikipedia

    SO FAR IT LOOKS LIKE THATS JUST WHAT OBAMA IS DOING

    All I can say is good luck Obama.

    @digg_it_up-You know I just got threw hearing the radio host saying that the reports on people voting against President Obama was FALSE and that they are being put out like President Obama is not doing his job and loosing his voters. Just so SOME people will run scared and vote against him come NOV. I have been saying this…President Obama is being LIED on and threw in the MEDIA,NEWS,NET,NEWS PAPER etc and they painting a picture like President Obama has fail to keep his promise. I have saw VERY few reports on what he has done and when they do speak of the change he has made they come back and drop a sh!t load of what they CLAIM he has fail to do. YET what have the REPUBLICAN DONE to BRING CHANGE to the ECONOMY? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE SHARE WITH ME WHAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTIES HAVE DONE TO BETTER THE ECONOMY? WE KNOW they are RACIST and QUICK TO PLAY THE HE SAY SHE SAY GAME,THE BLAME GAME AND KEEP THE STEREOTYPE OF THE BLACK MAN AND RACE ALIVE AND WELL,CUTTING/STOPPING PEOPLE UNEMPLOYMENT CHECKS,and SPENDING the HELL OUT OUR TAX MONEY. SO what HAVE THE REPUBLICAN DONE TO HELP THE AMERICAN PEOPLE? And IM NOT TALKING ABOUT SUPPORTING GLENN BECK CLAN RALLY.(JMO)

    Foolishness once again….I’m not touchin this one….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    Digg_it_up..here we go again….WHEN DID I EVER BLAME BHO for this? You love trying to put false statements on me to make your arguments stronger..I have been consistent by saying the same few points.

    1) This Economy has been in a downward spiral since 1913
    2) Clinton did more to mess this economy up than GWB. If you understand the impact of Credit Default Swaps on our current situation, then you would realize it was Clinton who made it possible for these evil azz bankers to treat the economy like Atlantic City.

    3)BHO CAN’T fix this. It’s like the flu. It has to run its course. That simple. The problem I have with BHO is that (if you people recollect correctly) he said HE COULD fix it when he was running. You guys talk all this “he can’t fix it overnight” or it’s going to take some time, but the fact is, he wasn’t saying that when he was running. Even in Jan 09, he said by the end of the summer ’10, things will be well on it’s way after the first stimulus. You guys don’t want to hold him to that, yall would rather just accept whatever he says whenever he says it, even if it contradicts previous statements. Yall don’t want to hold the brother accountable for his words,then want to get mad at me cause I choose to do so…You’re only kidding yourself with that, trust me. BHO is a politician like all others. They all play the game the same way…Over promise, Under deliver, make new Promises after that. A vicious cycle.

    @Johnny_Walker, you have a 24hr news cycle with hundreds of news outlets, bloggers etc. that makes it appear as though it’s more. As this article states, hatred for the President has been around since Washington.

    @Infinite_Question.

    Don’t hold your breath for #2 or #3. But hell, I might vote for him if #1 is achieved. But let me ask you this and I’m dead serious. Also brother, Stimulus doesn’t work. For every dollar they put in they are getting .55-.75 return. The only time that would work is if they were actually sparking innovative industries, that the govt could then make up that .25-.35 loss in the future.

    Not sure how familiar you are with all the facets of this Elizabeth Warren story. Just in case, she is vehemently opposed by Wall street fat cats because she is on their azz, SERIOUSLY. This Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is her creation (or perhaps co creator) and is the natural one to head it. How will you feel if BHO appoints someone else, who happens to be a Wall Street insider? Will that diminish him in your mind at all?

    You people really think I’m against this man for the sake of being against him. This man is a continuance of all other PRESIDENTS who preside over a system that OPPRESS poor and middle class. Despite what he says, look at his actions…Look DEEPER at his actions. You have to free your mind, and stop PUTTING HOPE AND FAITH in someone without conducting the research. I could give a damn if you agree with me, like me or even respect me. Respect yourself, like yourself, and hold the man accountable. RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH!!!! I know in his heart Infinite_question is still a staunch supporter of BHO, but he is now starting to ASK the tough questions after seeing somethings that are troubling. I respect that to the highest degree as opposed as the people who just come on EVERYDAY, not saying a damn thing except calling constructive criticism, hate. That shyt is just so juvenile to me…lol

    I know when ever a post about Education comes up, Johnny_Walker’s juices gets flowing. Dude is really passionate about that, and although I disagree with him, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that brother is SINCERE. I respect that. Even you Digg_it_up. There are times when you put the childish shyt behind you and come with some real information which i def respect. That’s what these blogs are about all that other crap is real lame.

    It has been stated clear and present that all Presidents have received their share of criticism at some point in their reign. The difference here is we live in a more hypersensitive and overexposed society. W/ multiple social networks and news outlets, no one can escape it. There just happens to be more right-wing mainstream outlets available that it feels like the light is brighter on this admin. Not mention like Tiger did for golf BHO has done for politic. He has brought the largely uninformed from the periphery to the front and that has increased the heat of the light just from the increased volume.

    I have always been in question of this admin w/ its decision making process and have receive high criticism here for my takes. I do agree that most of us have not credited this admin with their progress it has made due to us being blinded by lack of support coming back to our community, or the handling of big issue like (Healthcare, Financial reform, War & Education reform) just to name a few hot button ones.

    Where I disagree w/some here is come Nov I think the Senate will be lost and there will be some loses in the house yet the majority will remain. I think b/c of what I mention earlier about the ones who otherwise would not be involved in politics if not for BHO will show in Nov and allow the Dem to retain the house.

    @infinite_question I agree w/ you about the progressives, but I disagree that they will leave the support of the Dems. Progressives look at the bigger the picture more so than the right now. They understand b/c of their youth that they have wait a little longer to make their move and will support the Dems in Nov and then push their agendas.

    Last part the Michael Dyson show http://dysonshow.org/?p=2341 interview w/ Dr West touches on theses very subjects and excellent listen.

    CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST, “Obama is being LIED on and threw in the MEDIA,NEWS,NET,NEWS PAPER etc and they painting a picture like President Obama has fail to keep his promise.”

    I couldn’t help myself LOL!…Obama has indeed FAILED to keep his promises, especially regarding the war in Afghan….He stood up in NEBRASKA on the campaign trail and said he would ‘end the war during his term’….Now we aren’t talking giving him another 4 years…Nah, at that time he wasn’t even sure he would be selected…BUT he did say he would end the war in Afghan….NOW we are almost 2 years later and he is now in ‘talks’ to send 657bil more in funding for THEE war for the next THREE years….Doesn’t sound like an ‘end’ to you does it??

    Hate to say it, but yeah, ya boy Obama did in fact FAIL on that promise….If you don’t believe me, (which you probably don’t), feel free to look it up…

    I don’t think Obama catches all this heat for NOT being able to do every little thing he PROMISED….I think he’s catching the heat because he in fact DID PROMISE! He dropped dates, time frames etc….He shouldn’t have done that to himself…Had he been smart he would have just been like…”Ey! Imma see what I can do!!”

    damn good question. i would say if the FIRST business at hand when investigating something of this magnitude in a corporate entity, would be to FIRE those responsible. this was NOT done here, so i raised an eyebrow. the tarp had me a lil skeptical of bho because 1 bush proposed it and 2 i didnt buy the whole “sky is falling” rhetoric. i think MOST rebublicans and democrats didnt either. we both agree tiny tim should be behind bars and so should paulson. if anyone from that group is selected, i will seriously doubt bho’s lip service.

    i send that question back 2 u. if he does select elizabeth warren (ive seen her on cnn, bill mayer, washington journal, etc), will u admit that he’s a decent president and rethink ur position SOME of his policies?

    HERES WHAT HAPPENED IN BUSH ADMINISTRATION….

    As for federal spending, the size of the annual federal deficit has been coming down since reaching a high of $413-Billion in 2004. The Administration forecasts a deficit this year of $205-Billion. The forecast from the Congressional Budget Office is lower still at $158-Billion.

    But the size of the National Debt has soared. It now stands at $8.9-Trillion dollars – numerically in excess of the debt ceiling authorized by law. On the day Mr. Bush took office, it was $5.7-Trillion. That’s a 57% increase on Mr. Bush’s watch. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson is already calling on Congress to hike the debt ceiling as soon as possible for the fifth time in six years.

    57% INCREASE ON BUSH’S WATCH

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    @Infinite_Question. I’m already on record saying that if Ms. Warren is appointed, then I will DEFINITELY applaud him and believe that he is serious to some degree with reigning in Wall Street. I still won’t go as far as calling him a decent President though. I got to be honest. The war, the economy and this BS healthcare bill will still be troubling issues with him. The only other appointee I personally would accept is William Black who is the only person I have ever heard talk about the “prompt corrective Action Law” which should have put all those failing banks in receivership and not eligible for bailout money. As you stated Paulsen and Geithner should be in jail. Also, you say most Dems or Republicans didn’t believe Paulsen? I beg to differ. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t have voted for it. Remember BHO and McCain suspended their campaigns so they could go vote YES for the bailout. For the record, AT LEAST one Congressman voted against it. RON PAUL.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    @Digg_it_up. The only way your question concerning me bashing other Presidents can be valid is if you have known me for the past 20 years. The fact is, you have known me for about a month, so you’re not really sure how I feel about prior Presidents. I will be happy to answer any specific question about any specific President that you have.

    Ok, so what I’m hearing from you is, BHO is no better or worse than any other President. So then how can you say he is getting more criticism than they did. By your own admission, doesn’t he deserve it?

    “yall acting as if his term is over and he did nothing to fix the economy…..”

    Well actually, up until this point, he hasn’t done anything to fix the economy, why do you think he is about to add 500B more in stimulus, oh wait, they don’t want us calling it stimulus, they want us to call this an investment..lol…So much BS. It’s just as much a stimulus as the last stimulus, but they insist on playing these word/mind games.

    Not sure where you got those numbers, but you are missing 3 zeros on the projected deficit for this year. It’s projected to be 1.5 TRILLION. Actually, that was before this new 500B, so I’m not sure if that will drive it up or is that money coming from cuts. Regardless, it will be near the 2nd highest in history. 2nd to last years deficit. See brother, what happens in every Presidency is they all pass along their bills. It’s like you living in a house running up the electric, water, phone and cable bills, then I move in and have to pay for it. This is how it always happens. Clinton passed on to Bush, Bush41 passed on to Clinton, and so on down the line. That’s how they all do. They just kick the can down the street. You are correct though, Bush increased the national debt tremendously. He cut taxes (revenue) at the same time increased spending. Don’t have to be a genius to know that’s not all that bright.

    @thedaythelordsaved. What station were you primarily listening to when Reagan or Carter were President?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST/ CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST

    @CaliFemme23-Its true they did LIE on him and act as if he hadn’t done anything nor tried to fix the problem dealing with the economy. Some people act like President Obama stated he is GOD and he will fix everything in 6 days so they can rest on the 7th day. The funny thing is that President Obama has to fight with his government parties just to try and get started on the change dealing with the economy. Why is that…when they all claim to care so much for the american people and wanting to fix the economy? President Obama feel the heat from all the limelight of EVERYTHING wrong with the economy…because of the (HE BLACK-SO THEY STEREOTYPE the PRESIDENT)media,news,net,news paper they are the ones who promote the lies the republican report to them. If President Obama say the sun is up…the republican will stated its down,if President Obama say it rain cats and dogs the republican will state he is lying it clear outside. Then they paint a picture in the white american eyes that President Obama has done nothing. My question and concern is what have the REPUBLICAN done to FIX the ECONOMY? They talk big sh!t and thats it…no action on their part. If President Obama was a white man he wouldn’t have these problems…just look at bush…he started this War,he was the real reason behind the attack on american,he was the cause for the 9/11,and he turned his back on the people when Katrina hit. To me he is the worst President ever yet President Obama come along and he get that title in a year and hadn’t finished his 8 year term out. I say 8 because I know he will be President for another 4 years. So while the republican are digging up “dirty”(thats all they digging) on President Obama they need to dig out a game plan to help fix the economy.(JMOARTY)

    @Thedaythlordsaved. I asked you that question, trying to make a point about the amount of media coverage then vs. now and why the criticism appears Non stop now. Its a 24hour news cycle now compared to then when all you had was 3 major networks doing global news. You now have entire shows dedicated to politics on TV in prime time.

    Also, I agree with you about reading and learning history, but allow me to correct you. First of all, that meeting you talk about happened in 1910 and it wasn’t off the coast of Cuba, it was off the coast of Georgia a place named Jekyll Island.

    As far as politricks, you’re preaching to the choir. I don’t participate in any of it, because I’m already convinced it’s become a system to maintain status quo. Actually, myself and many others have been trying to get people on this site to see that as well, but they still put faith in this administration and future administrations to do the right thing.

    It would shock people to learn that these bankers knew the economy would collapse the way it did. People want to believe this came out of nowhere but it’s not true. I believed that too until I saw people actually predicting it back in 2003. When you get down to the nuts and bolts of it, you can clearly see, that those involved knew it was going to happen and didn’t care. The ones who didn’t care are making record profits right now when they should be in jail. Think over that one.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/leewilla35/ leewilla35

    I always say: “If you can do a better job, then do it”. It’s easy to criticize someone, unless your in their shoes, dealing with their daily issues and so forth. I think Barack O. stepped into a game that was screwed over waaaayyyy before he became President of the U.S.A. I think most people fine enjoyment in blaming one person for everything, he’s not running the country or government by himself, there are alot of other people, etc. involved as well. Give me a break, please.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    Save for infinite_question, bvince, johnny_walker. Hardly any of you BHO supporters even know what you’re talking about.

    CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST, Ok, you didn’t even touch on what I said about the BILLION dollar funding of the war effort Obama PROMISED to shut down during his term in office. I say again, he did FAIL on that account, and it happens to be one of THEE most important issues that got people running in droves to vote for him. His promise to end the war. Do you realize how much money the war is costing, AND for the administration to continually fund it for another 3 years? Obama is SUPPORTING the war at this point…I ask again…HOW did the media lie on him about that?

    I see BHO supporters will NOT hold him accountable for ANYTHING he has faltered on. And please, all of you can only say is..’Well you didn’t talk about BUSH!!”. Before you go there on me, I did indeed rant and rave about Bush at every chance I got…I just wasn’t a member of blackplanet back then so none of you ‘knew’ of me back then. Matter of fact, I complained about Clinton and the previous Bush. I just wasn’t old enough to go in on Carter and Reagan…lol.

    Digg_it_up, “…..everybody tell campaigne lies to get elected.”

    Well thank you! I am glad one of you Obama supporters has admitted to his blatant telling of LIES! I hope Carolinagirl read what you said as well….lol.

    thedaythlordsaved, Oh trust me, the media ‘hating’ was indeed there for EVERY president. I don’t know where you guys were at when Bush was in office. That idiot was talked about and criticized at EVERY chance the media had to go in on him. Once again I must say that the media NOW is far greater than it was back then. It didn’t take a negroe for the hatred to start. I don’t think MOST of you even paid attention to politics BEFORE the negroe was even selected…And oh it shows!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    digg_it_up, You guys KEEP asking ‘why aren’t you bashing bush?”

    I just have to ask this….What good is keeping up with Bush’s failures going to do RIGHT NOW?
    Do you all really THINK that Bush is losing sleep over you? Even Obama himself said that he had to STOP bringing up Bush at every press conference and speech he made because IT DOES NO GOOD!

    I mean, if you were hired on as supervisor of a company, and the last one was HORRIBLE, would you want the employees to talk to you about that last guy EVERYDAY, ALLDAY LONG for your entire tenure? OR would they hold YOU accountable because YOU CHOSE TO TAKE ON THE JOB??

    We have been betrayed by a system of injustice that we endorse with a vote,and a false promise of representation that never presents itself,through policies,laws or societal institutions.President Obama’s late night cinder fella affair with popularity is at a end.And he can blame no one but himself,for attempting to clothe himself in the societal popularity of convenience,manufactured with the materials of falsehood.Any well reasoned man,will go to war against popularity,the way a seasoned warrior, wars against an enemy.The news media are physiological sorcerers that utilizes the electronics of technology, to lure you in with the bait of your own desires,that you have no control over,to gain societal prominence.But most of these men,reason with their self inflated sense of themselves to such an extent that they inadvertently,provide their enemies with the blueprint for their own political and societal dismemberment.Now many of our traitor based,black leaders are going to encounter the same downward plunge in popularity,that their once prized stallion,the first black president is facing at this time.You black leaders,have foolishly,cashed in all your cultural chips of dying credibility,hoping that you could pimp a living,like you pimped a living off the M.L. K. LEGACY,but just like the falling dollar,your next to worthless credibility will be the Judas noose around all your treacherous necks.P.S.O” Black people,of people of African descent,your overriding desire was to have a black president,But who is among us,that can truthfully say that it is divine providence,For the scriptures say,the first shall be last,and the last first,But to the white race it has become a snare and a preemptive curse.

    Hey, it doesn’t matter what President Obama or Mrs. Obama does……..someone always has an issue with it. We finally get a family in the White House that is intelligent, classy, and just GOOD PEOPLE, and still no one is pleased. I am proud to have such a decent man as my President. As for the job he’s doing, he has been in office for less that 2 years, and has made great strides. But, they still complain that we are not there yet. It took a lot longer than 19 months to get in this mess! Give the guy a break. And, whatever happened to ‘United We Stand’? Start showing a little faith and loyalty, and support your President. Shame on the Beck’s and Limbaugh’s and Palin’s in this country. All they are doing is contributing to the problems. I believe that many do not understand that racism is fueling most of this dissent, but trust me….RACISM IS ALIVE and flourishing in these United States of America!

    You people need to satdown with all this Obama whining. Boo hoo hoo, Obama is not the first pres. to be dogged, and he won’t be the last. You all should be ashamed for not even taking the time to learn or take part in politics before 2008….None of you can really speak on this if you didn’t.

    I never agree with Johnny_Walker or infinite_question on these political topics, but I have to give those brothers all the credit and respect in the world because they KNOW what they are talking about!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST/ CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST

    @soveru34,sosogood33,goyasmom,and MissLexiBaby-I agree with ya’ll as well. @CaliFemme23-I DID MORE THAN TOUCH BASE I COVERED THE WHOLE FIELD. You claim he didn’t keep his promises or didn’t attempt to go threw with any of those promises. I say he did and he is doing ALL those things he PROMISED yet here is the REPUBLICAN co(k blocking on EVERYTHING President Obama TRY TO DO. Like I stated before WHEN President Obama state anything here come the REPUBLICAN.
    ( “If President Obama say the sun is up…the republican will stated its down,if President Obama say it rain cats and dogs the republican will state he is lying it clear outside. Then they paint a picture in the white american eyes that President Obama has done nothing.”)
    This is where I blame the media,news,net,news paper etc THEY REPORT THIS BULLSH!T and its NOT ALL TRUE even with the VOTING going on now. THEY CLAIM PRESIDENT OBAMA IS LOOSING. WHY PROMOTE THAT LIE TO MAKE HIM LOOK BAD IN THE EYES OF WHITE AMERICA? We had ALL those things BACK then we just wasn’t able to use the NET back then and their was ALOT OF TALK SHOWS HOST yet they WAS NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK DOWN ABOUT THE WHITE RACE yet WAS ALLOWED TO USE RACIST REMARKS JUST LIKE THEY DO NOW TOWARD BLACK PEOPLE that much HAS NOT CHANGED. SOME PEOPLE WOULD RATHER RUN WITH A LIE INSTEAD OF STICKING AROUND FOR THE TRUTH. I don’t know about you but,im waiting on the truth…im not running anywhere. Like the ole saying go WHY CHASE THE RUMOR WHEN YOU CAN CHASE THE SOURCE YOU WILL ALWAYS CATCH THE FACTS? Right now my question and concern is what have the REPUBLICAN DONE TO FIX OR TRY TO WORK WITH THE PRESIDENT TO FIX THE ECONOMY? I see what they try to do to the President yet I DON’T SEE ANY GAME PLAN FROM THEM TO FIX THE ECONOMY and NOT AD ON TO THE PROBLEMS ALREADY BY SUPPORTING A CLAN RALLY AND SH!T TALK THE PRESIDENT WITH RACIST REMARKS. It take MORE THAN A PRESIDENT TO RUN AMERICA…IT TAKE ALL THE GOVERNMENT PARTIES TO HELP RUN THE ECONOMYAND DO THERE PART. SO WHEN WILL THE OTHERS STEP UP AND HELP or WILL THEY NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THERE LACK OF EFFORT TO FIX THE ECONOMY? Its NOT CALLED FAITH LIKE SOME FOOL KEEP STATEING…ITS CALLED NOT BEING BLIND TO TRUE FACTS or GOING INTO THINGS WITH A BLIND-FOLD ON WHILE HOLDING A BLIND MAN HANDS AND ASKING CAN YOU SEE THE LIGHT? Just because SOME people want to BLAME the BLACK MAN and STEREOTYPE the BLACK RACE and SOME OF US SEE AND BELIEVE THAT TO BE A BIG PART OF THE PROBLEM DON’T MEAN WE ARE MISLEAD BY THE (“administration and future administrations to do the right thing.”) What SOME of YOU FOOLS FAIL TO REALIZE IS YOU GOT EYES,EARS,AND A MOUTH and A DAMN BRAIN TO FORM YOUR OWN OPINION AND HEAR<SEE<AND SPEAK ON THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN TH ECONOMY. It don't take a PHD to tell YOU your PAYING TO DAMN MUCH TAXES and the COST OF LIVING HAS WENT UP NOR THAT THE FOOD WE EAT IS NOT SAFE FOR US NOR IS THE MEDICINE. ON TOP OF THE GOVERNMENT(WHITE AMERICA)DON'T GIVE A FLYING FU(K ABOUT US. (JMOARTY and to other people who sh!t talk from another comment.)

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST/ CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST

    @CaliFemme23-I did more than touch it. What YOU and a FEW others FAIL to REALIZE is that IF the President WAS WHITE with NO TRACE OF BLACK IN HIM…HE WOULD BE THE BEST PRESIDENT EVER. President Obama GOT MORE BASH than ANY PRESIDENT IN HISTORY from his CUT IN ON HIS SPEECH,RACIST REMARKS, to the CLAN RALLY MARCH. Your over LOOKING the MESSAGE. The “WHITE AMERICA” is painting a picture that(STEREOTYPE) NO BLACK MAN IS ABLE TO TAKE CONTROL OVER ANYTHING DEALING WITH THE GOVERNMENT. Even IF President Obama walked into the room and stated here is the game plan to FIX the ECONOMY and IT can be “GUARANTEED” TO WORK and you would HAVE THE(REPUBLICAN) GOVERNMENT PARTIES FIGHTING WITH HIM and CLAIMING IT WANT WORK LIKE THEY ARE DOING NOW. The ONES WHINING IS THE REPUBLICAN. What have they DONE to FIX THE ECONOMY? Are they being held ACCOUNTABLE for their LACK of NOT DOING THEIR PART/JOB to fix the PROBLEM instead of GIVEN IN TO MORE problems that FOLLOW RACISM? I don’t see it nor hear of ANYTHING they have done to FIX the ECONOMY just a 2010 CLAN march to try and ATTEMPT to CHANGE HISTORY of a DEAD MAN who wanted the RACISM to END and that we ALL be threated EQUAL. I don’t see that in this picture. You might be blind and act as if RACE don’t play a BIG PART in this matter and ALL the media cover and sh!t talk of the republican yet im not. If you really went back and got the correct amount of ALL the government spending and that include the President you would see that the amount President Obama is spending is no different and he is ending the War which it took some time and that something SOME of you FAIL to hear him STATE…ITS GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME TO FIX THE ECONOMY yet it can be done with the help of EVERYONE. Why is that SO HARD for SOME of YOU to UNDERSTAND?(JMOARTY)

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST/ CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST

    @ Those who keep stating know your HISTORY. I got a question for you DO YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR HISTORY? Just about EVERYTHING in HISTORY AS YOU PUT IT WAS BUILT ON A LIE. Question is which 1 would you rather do GO OFF THE PAST OF THE HISTORY THAT YOU CAN NOT PROVE 100% TO BE TRUE OR GO OFF THE FACTS YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU? Which is President Obama is GETTING ALL THE HEAT AND BASHING IS BECAUSE HE IS A BLACK MAN DAMNIT. Look BACK at FACTS what COLOR was the PAST president? Yes they got talked about YET NONE OF THEM WENT THROW RACISM and NONE OF THEM HAD ANY RACIST REMARKS THREW AT THEM AND THE MEDIA RAN IT IN THE GROUND? YES THEY HAD TALK SHOWS,RADIOS,TV,NEWS,NEWS PAPERS,AND EVEN THE NET it just wasn’t open the the public like it is NOW. So stop trying to candy code sh!t like the other president went threw this sh!t President Obama going threw now because NONE of them DID. I didn’t see not hear of them being called a monkey,ape,water melon jokes,fried chicken/pig jokes,n!gger jokes,speech cut in on,and a fu(king clan rally march to washington. Topping it off with a A$$ for a(WHITE) talk show host who was ALLOWED to SPEAK IN A DISRESPECTING WAY TOWARD THE PRESIDENT AND HIS FAMILY and it be called or looked at as a SLIP of the TONGUE. I REPEAT NOONE BLACK WAS ALLOWED TO SPEAK IN THE WAY THESE WHITE TALK SHOW HOST ARE DOING NOW. Now that some HISTORY FOR YOUR A$$.(JMOAR)

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST, LOL…Umm no, you STILL have yet to speak on or answer just HOW did the media lie on Obama about his failed promises?? You’re STILL talking about the ‘clan’ and ‘slips of the tongue’ and ‘getting passes to talk shyt’….LOL

    He PROMISED to end the conflict in Afghanistan during his term. He is now looking at funding the war for THREE MORE YEARS. He isn’t guaranteed another 4 years, so that means he will NOT have ended the war in Afghan, in fact, during his term.

    All you seem to holler is ‘They hate the black man!’. That’s it? That’s really all you have to say in defense of your president? You dare not speak on FACTS about the administration at all? Ever??? I haven’t mentioned his skintone, his ethnic background, who his parents are, none of that. I haven’t mentioned Beck, Palin, Limbaugh or Fox News at all. I haven’t mentioned any type of racism toward the man. I have asked you about ONE factor of a promise he made, that he has gone back on and you can’t even discuss it.

    So NO, you have NOT ‘touched’ on it. You stated that the media ‘lied’ on Obama regarding the promises he made. Again I ask you…WHEN DID THEY LIE ON BHO? I even stated the very promise he failed on…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST/ CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST

    @CaliFemme23-He did end the War and yet the media fail to keep YOU posted on that part. Like I have stated before you don’t get the TRUE story of what all President Obama has KEPT good on in his promises because the MEDIA don’t want you to know nor see that part of it. Yet you FAIL to answer my question what have the REPUBLICAN done to better the economy? You claim President Obama hadn’t kept any of his promises and that 1 promise you claim he hadn’t done is being done right now as we speak. A week a go President Obama ended the War. Will the War just up and end over night NO it took more than a night to start. As for his term let me just STATE for the record PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL BE OUR PRESIDENT FOR 8 YEARS. Now you know as well as I do when someone talk this much sh!t about 1 man and go OUT their way to bring up dumb sh!t he is DOING SOMETHING GOOD IS GOING ON IN BEHIND THAT FOG the media got put up to have SOME people turn away and run. White america/republican don’t want to see a black man nor race doing GOOD and will stop at nothing to try and bring you down. Just the title of this topic is truth enough to open your eyes. I have NEVER heard of any such QUESTION ask nor STATED in HISTORY to address the President as this 1 and many others.(“Hating On The President: A Great American Pastime”)
    (JMOARTY) @leewilla35 and thedaythlordsaved-I agree with ya’ll as well.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/infinite_question/ infinite_question

    whats happening here could be staged, maybe. i feel cornell west’s opinion. yes, we love our brother obama. we understand the attacks made on him because of his race, age, education, etc. but we cant stand here like zombies and let him IGNORE those of us who saw NO change. i am not one of these people, but i know american citizens are out here struggling to put food on the table. there are blacks and whites who DONT know where there next meal is comming from. to act like these problems vanished because we have black president is WRONG.

    i love my father, but if i see him smoking crack, molesting a child, or beating my moms, i would be a fool to sit there and say nothing, just because he’s my father. so, what we have to do is research the proposed legislation 4 ourselves. we will find that collectivley, SOME of it benefits us, some of it does the opposite. he is WRONG about the war in afghan. drone strikes are WRONG. the killing of innocents, wheather in baghdad, ny, or compton, by u.s. soldiers, coast gaurds, or police is WRONG.

    now, obama has pushed through MAJOR legislation to help just about everybody. the biggest problem is that everyone who recieved help DID NOT deserve it. and those who needed it the most, HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED. obamas friends are millionares, bankers, and politicians, though he blew up on the southside. our president has knocked on EVERY door in my district during his rise to power.

    we have love 4 obama, but does he love us back? i dont have a SOLID answer, yet. i want to see what he does for those black farmers. i dont want to seem like a teabagger, but i want to see some proof that he gives a sh!t about us when white people are WATCHING. some issues HAVE to be more important than the next election cycle. but either way, hes got my vote in 2012 because there are NO other candidates that are as qualified.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/hellcat4lyfe72/ hellcat4lyfe72

    How long has he been in office? It takes TIME to change everything that EVERYONE wants fixed, you can’t do it so stop judging or get your ass up there and become president like he had the nerve to do.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    @Digg_it_Up. When it’s appropriate, I mention or have mentioned Bush’s failures. But as Cali mentioned, Bush is no longer President. That’s like asking a Knick fan why he isn’t still bashing Isaiah Thomas? But the fact is, when Isaiah took over he had a mess too, but there are still many who want to act as if he caused the current problems. Same with Bush, this economy WAS IN RECESSION when he received it from Clinton. Not sure if many people even realize that.

    @Infinite_Question. It seems you are more worried about being labeled a “hater” or a “tea bagger” than you are interested in being objective. Listen, BHO and more importantly, his HANDLERS have some very serious issues, and all I’m saying I think it’s beneath an intelligent brother like yourself to dismiss that as PURE racism. You should leave that to others here who don’t have any other intelligent points to make. Let me also say this to you. If you TRULY understand racism, then you should know that intelligent white racists NEVER let their racist ideology interfere with their money. Case in point, when the Montogomery bus back of the bus policy was finally lifted, do you think it was the done because all of a sudden, those white’s woke up one day and started feeling guilty about the way they were treating blacks? Please!!! There damn profits were down 30-40% after blacks started car pooling or straight walking. I’m saying, if this President had unemployment down to 5% right now, even if the deficit spending was out of control as it is, these white’s wouldn’t care as long as their PERSONAL situation was straight. So anyone who is dismissing this criticism as pure racism, clearly don’t understand the dynamics of it.

    But damn bruh, I must say I’m proud of you like seeing a son graduate HS after being so stubborn for years…lolololol…Not to suggest you were being stubborn, but just not as open minded as I think anyone should be. The thing is, this is not about getting people to agree with me or not, I just want black people to THINK and dig deeper than the headline. You’re finally doing the right thing, and not giving the brother the benefit of the doubt on all these issues. Trust me, people who are committed to doing the right thing don’t mind the HARD questions being asked, it’s only the ones that are shady and up to no damn good who get sensitive when the spotlight is placed on them. AS they say, the devil is always in the details.

    CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST, “You claim President Obama hadn’t kept any of his promises and that 1 promise you claim he hadn’t done is being done right now as we speak. A week a go President Obama ended the War.”

    Shame on you sister…He did NOT end the war in Iraq a week ago. He merely pulled SOME of the troops out. Further more, I asked you about AFGHANISTAN, not Iraq. He hasn’t done a damn thing regarding Afghan, LIKE HE PROMISED. I asked you about him funding the war in Afghan for ANOTHER 3 years. Now how is that an end?? And no, I never said he didn’t keep ANY of his promises, I said he FALTERED on one of the most important ones. Once again, you have no answer to that one because 1) You really don’t know the FACTS of the matter, and 2) You REFUSE to admit that your president did in fact BACKPEDDLE on his famed promises. I agree with you though, it didn’t take a day to start the war so it isn’t going to be over in a day either…BUT Obama did PROMISE to spend NO MORE funding on the war efforts. THAT WAS A LIE. And no, a republican didn’t say that, Obama himself said that. You can’t refute what came out the ‘horses’ mouth.

    Now, you asked me what have republicans done for the economy? They have done the same exact thing that Democrats do for it…Nothing really. I’m sure you know that the ‘mess’ of the economy isn’t just a republican fault right? Republicans do NOT control the entire administration. BOTH parties, Dem and Repub are at fault because they BOTH have a say so in what happens, what laws are passed, what they vote on etc….So the question you should be asking is….What have BOTH parties done for the economy??? Faith without knowing is imminent disaster….

    Bottomline, this mess started before ANY of us were even born. Obama is a FOOL to have gotten up there in 2008 and PROMISED to correct it…

    infinite_question, I agree with your entire last paragraph…Well said. I appreciate discussion lent out of intelligence and facts as opposed to emotion and sentiment….

Keep your loyalty to Obama, just be AWARE of what is really going on as much as one possibly can…

    Digg_it_Up

    Digg_it_Up: dont you think to blame the last person in office for some crazy ish is just not morally right?……..

    _A_: I think it has it’s place, but to use it as an excuse for present failure is morally wrong. Also by your own criteria, don’t you think it’s morally right to blame those who predate Bush as well? or do you only want to cast blame on those in the other party? See we can’t pick and choose where to blame if they all are guilty. This is why you can’t get to deep into the blame game because you might be forced to speak on the shortcomings of your friends as well.

    Digg_it_up: let me ask you a question….are you racist?….and if you say no then why arent you goin off at the white men of today because of what their ancestor did in the past?…..

    _A_: Black people can’t be racist. For the record, I speak about White Supremacy all the time, so that’s not even fair for you to suggest that I don’t comment on that. Ijust try to remove all the emotion from the equation and deal with logic and actual facts. I’m a follower of the Most Hon. Elijah Muhammad. If you don’t know anything about that man, I would urge you to read “Message to the Blackman” if you haven’t already done so. IN MY HUMBLE view, we take a more practical, rational approach when it comes to race than the average. We don’t complain about it because that does no good, we feel the best way to deal with it is to not deal with it all since it’s impossible to fight an ideology.

    Digg_it_UP: and you hatin da dude when he da only black man that made so dam far…..come on now _A_….show some support for once….you too old for this…

    _A_: Again, I have no hate for this brother whatsoever. He seems VERY personable and and humble, intelligent and all that. My issue is NOT with him per se, but the fact that he presides over a system that is DESIGNED to Oppress not only black people but poor people in general. Why do you think it is that the income gap between the poor and wealthy has widened UNDER OBAMA’s WATCH? It’s the system. No one man or group of men is bigger than the system.

    Also, ONe is never too old for critical, analytical constructive thought and discussion. However I think it becomes a time when one is too old to suspend all those qualities and allow someone else to do it for them. I would put that age at about 6 or 7 years old. Some may say lower. I have no real reason for picking those ages, just seems appropriate in my mind.

    I have a question to all who feel GWB is solely responsible for the economic collapse of 2008. Do you know how the Community Re-Investment act and the repealing of the Glass-Stegall Act factored into this mess? If the answer is yes, then you already know that the Republicans can’t be solely to blame. if the answer is no, then simply watch “The Warning” on PBS frontline. It’s 45 mins, but it’s really easy to understand, meaning there isn’t a whole lot of Wall Street Speak in it. It’s real basic and simple. Now I know that ONLY those interested in SEEKING truth will watch, while the others are happy to keep believing what they want to believe. I’m happy with both groups although, I can honestly say, I only respect one of them!

    what has happened is what i always knew would happen…during the entire campaigning process people were happy and proud to be in a country that was i guess ‘willing’ to allow an African-America/Biracial man run for President and then there are always going to be those cynical people out there who think that people who voted and support President Obama are blind to the situations that they deal with everyday…not true. Most people don’t look to Obama as Savior but as a person who overcame a lot of odds to get to where he is but there are just as many people who voted for him on his platforms and proposed policies…

    With that being said change never happened overnight not to be cliche but Rome wasn’t built in one night but destruction is definitely faster. No matter what most people in this blog think…nothing will ever happen fast enough or to their approval. The problem is an unrealistic expectation that President Obama is more than who he is which is a man. There are a lot of Presidents who have been criticized and doubted but never to this extent but because President Obama is who is he definitely gets criticized more and no matter what anyone says the position he was put in with this economy he started his Presidency on a down slop. Digging this country out of a hole is definitely going to take a LONG TIME…and a year and half is not nearly long enough, of course times are hard for many but we need to give this President a fair go at this…i am not saying that everything he has done has been successful but what President hasn’t had its shares of successes and failures…i am going to be honest i don’t think everything that has been proposed by President Obama has panned out but i do think he is trying to come up with new ideas more than most of the gop who NEVER have an idea but like i said i am giving this president the same respect as i gave the previous one and treating him just as what he is a man…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    I find it odd, that someone who respects and holds a admitted RACIST up as someone to be admired has the AUDACITY to come here and try to define what racism is, when they CLEARLY don’t have a clue. Damn, you can’t get more Ironic than that!

    You supporters hang your hat on the same nonsense. “he can’t fix it overnight” or “he has only been President for 2 years, he needs more time.” He wasn’t saying that when he was running which means either he didn’t know how bad it was, or he was just blowing smoke. Either way, it’s a net loss for the people. But here is the thing, I truly believe he didn’t understand the gravity of the situation, but his people did. Geithner, Summers, Rubin, Krugman, Roemer, Buffet and his entire economic advisory team knew. So that also means one of two things. Either they did indeed inform him and he lied anyway, or they kept that information from him and they made him lie about it. Again, with either situation, it’s still a net loss for the people.

    Lastly, people have to realize this is NOT about fixing it overnight, this is about the fact that these policies are making it worse. Do you really think you can run 3-4 Trillion dollar deficits in 2 years with 2 more years to go and not have that come back at some point in the future and bite you in the azz? You’re simply ignoring pure logic if you do. And guess what? When BHO and family are making 20-50mil per year from speaking engagements, books, Board memberships etc. in 2012 and beyond, he won’t have to worry too much about all the inflation or deflation his administration would have subjected the rest of us to. This is so much deeper than fixing it over night and you people just refuse to want to see it.

    I must say it is because you keep a hold of President Obama promise dealing with the War that he is ending. Just that 1 simple thing you seem to KEEP in MIND yet you OVER look the TRUE FACTS in behind it ALL. You blame President Obama yet you didn’t blame everyone until now. I been stated they ALL was to BLAME for how the ECONOMY is YET you never made the claim of both parties. Also I don’t put my faith in the government nor will I ever put my faith in a system that is GREEDY AND SELFISH on top of MONEY HUNGRY wanting EVERYTHING under their CONTROL. So to play the blame game you got to INCLUDE ALL THE PLAYERS NOT JUST THE COACH. No TRUE FACTS and going off he-say she-say and research that is half true is (“Faith without knowing is imminent disaster”)
    The ones who are to blame for the economy down fall-

    1)ALL GOVERNMENT PARTIES-from the white house down to town manager and even your house.
    2)ALL BUSINESS OWNERS/COMPANIES-who over charge us or take their companies to other countries and bring back their trades to only over charges more for alot less.
    3) ALL THE BANKS-they give loans to these companies and allow them to over charge us just as they do.
    4)WE ALL ARE TO BLAME BECAUSE WE STILL DO BUSINESS WITH THESE COMPANIES. Everytime we spend our money on anything dealing with food,clothes,shoes,cars,house,etc we are making them richer and thats ALL they care about is MONEY and POWER to CONTROL.
    5)Once again NO I DON’T HAVE FAITH IN A GOVERNMENT SYSTEM yet I KEEP MY EYES OPEN TO THE WHOLE TRUTH and NOT JUST WHAT THE MEDIA WANT ME TO SEE. I don’t need to blame the President because im paying to much in tax,food,clothes,shoes,house hold items etc. I already KNOW WHY and WHO is REALLY THE BLAME and I will never blame 1 man for everything because HE DON’T RUN AMERICA BY HISSELF. Nor do I need a report on how high they have got to tell me its something wrong with the economy. I realize that when I open a bill and take my money and pay for it.(JMOARTY)

    racism is a subjective term. sorta like love, freedom, justice, or liberty, its hard to say what racism is, without the context. i do believe that ANYONE can be RACIST. but not anyone can USE the TOOLS of racism like the pale face. its almost like saying that ONLY a man can be a rapist. women can rape other women. its rare, but can happen. the sad part is that MOST of the racist feelings that blacks have is toward THEMSELVES and the people who look like them. this is why i USUALLY give pbho a pass. does this mean i like ALL his policies? sh!t no!

    as i said b4, i am anti-war. bho and i do NOT even come close to a agreement on this subject. i belive the govt planned 911 with help from the cia. we dont agree on that either. however, the president and i have continents of common ground. its not that bho supporters agree with EVERYTHING he has to say, but we agree that he is the BEST man for the job.

    the reason gwb dumb ass keeps getting brought up, is because i agreee with NOTHING he did while in office. in fact, im opposed to his whole philiosophy, and i knew from day 1 what it would do to america. to say he was just ignorant to what was going on during his tenure is being ignorant urself. he KNOWS the architect of 911 was paul wolfowitz (google him). but then again, so does bho. this makes bho an accessory to this crime, but not the guilty party. this isnt new info, but it may be to a few republicans.

    now, i never agree with GENOCIDE. on the streets of pakistan or in the IMPLOSION of the twin towers, its still WRONG. i dont understand how bho can condemn gwb for one war, but embrace the other as “the good war”. war is war. no matter who attempts to justify it.

    its not like _A_ convinced me into the tea party, but ive been hearing some disturbing news comming out of the majority party. for example, the increase of soldiers in afghan after a draw down in iraq is like one step forward and 1 step backward. im just a lil frustrated with this administration when it comes to FOREIGN and MILITARY policies. but once again, i LOVE our BROTHER obama, and i dont want to be confused with those that HATE him for their own EMOTIONAL reasons.

    Wrong, AGAIN. Black people can NOT be racist nor practice racism. Blacks can be prejudice, bigots, mean or hateful toward other races, but we LACK the resources, intent, desire and motivation to be racists. Racism is a SYSTEM my dear. It is not simply hatred or intolerance of another race. What you’re talking about is prejudice or bigotry. Am I prejudice toward whites? Hell yeah I am because they mean me NO GOOD and have no place in my life. Am I racist toward them? Not at all. I don’t want any group of people oppressed like they do, I just want my own UPLIFTED collectively…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    @infinite_question..I don’t believe the term is subjective at all. I think what happens is the term gets interchanged incorrectly with bias. Yes everyone can be biased or even bigoted, but racism is the act of institutionalizing those biases and bigoted feelings to the peril of a group of people. That’s my personal definition anyway.

    Ok, I have to come clean as well. There are some proposals I have agreed with BHO on as well. His work trying to get crack sentencing equitable with cocaine sentencing for one. There was an initiative to emphasize Science and Math in schools in order to get American children back on top in the world as well, that I would be a fool to not acknowledge. ONe caveat with that last one, if you’re not bringing black children along for the “ride” then that’s a deal breaker. However I think his admin has failed miserably with the issues that are of utmost importance. Jobs, the economy and war. I actually don’t blame him for the first two. The only thing that upsets me with his admin in that regard is he keeps stringing the masses along with this false hope and short change all in the name of political expediency. The war, we both agree on. Also don’t be shocked if you see some type of troop movement in and around Iran within the next 12 months. This will be the last “stimulus” program he puts into effect. Nothing like a war to take the people’s minds off the domestic problems, and to create jobs.

    Lastly, I know for a fact I can find many laws GWB signed into effect that you would agree with, but I think when they are stacked up to what you disagreed with, they almost don’t even matter. I definitely feel and agree with you on that!!

    Hmm..if i just read Cali’s comment concerning racism, i could have just put mine in my pocket, but anyway.

    Also, anybody who respects Margret Sanger should really keep their mouth shut when it comes to talk about racism, bias, bigotry, prejudice, ignorance, foolishness, silliness etc. But it’s a free world and free to post on the blogs, so continue on!

    CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST, What facts have I overlooked? I mean I’m asking you that in all seriousness because if I have, then please lead me in the right direction and I will stand corrected.

    BUT, as of right now, you STILL have yet to explain to me HOW your president said he was going to END the war in Afghanistan during his term, when in FACT he is going to fund it for THREE additional years??? He made that PROMISE before he was selected, meaning if he was to become president, he would be ending the war during THIS present term. I don’t know what is so difficult about that premise.

    Sincerenow, “looking at just one thing and not the total picture it is best to look at everything and come to not only an educated but an unbiased decision”

    Ok, so I guess your RESPECT for Margaret Sanger came AFTER you of course looked at EVERYTHING she stood for right? I mean the whole eliminating/EXTERMINATION of blacks, the MANY black children she had sterilized, the men and women she did the same way, her working closely with HITLER etc….No, I’m just sayin…You are well EDUCATED on the chick to have made the decision to respect her right?

Why not throw in the Autobiography of Margret Sanger as well, so we can see WHAT SHE HAS SAID IN HER OWN WORDS? This one is talking about doing research. Ok. you call Glenn Beck a racist. Show me one example that YOU HAVE HEARD YOURSELF that shows his so call racist attitude? That should be simple. You should have no problem finding this on YouTube. Send us all something when GLENN BECK has ever called black people subhuman? Show me when Glenn Beck has called for the Elimination of black people. Show me where Glenn Beck has said advocated EUGENICS as a viable solution for solving racial problems. It’s good to see that you and Adolf Hitler have something in common, because he respected that beast as well.

    SincereNow, What the hell is this ‘dictionary’ reference you keep making toward me?? Have I misspelled something? Do I have an incorrect definition of words here? I think not. And what the hell is a ‘Woman’s history book’?? Are you talking about the ‘women’s movement” perhaps? If you are, then you are still WRONG once again. See that women’s movement was for WHITE WOMEN. The WHITE woman’s movement for black women is equivalent to integration for blacks as a whole…I can tell you got ALL of your ‘knowledge’ from a white man’s institution. No worries, I forgive you.

    Now on to your lame ‘cure for cancer’ analogy. If in fact Beck did come up with the cure for cancer, (which that will NEVER happen because where there is a cure, there is NO MONEY to be reaped, but that’s a different topic!), he would be HELPING people. You can not compare Margaret Sanger to ANYONE that finds a ‘cure’ for an illness, because in her eyes BLACKS WERE IN FACT THEE CANCER TO BE REMOVED! AGAIN, She wasn’t trying to help black people so how dare you respect her?!

    In Sanger’s quest for women’s rights to choose, she FAILED to let black men, women and children choose whether or not they wanted to be STERILIZED. You disgust me to no ends! Instead of you actually RESEARCHING and finding out about this woman you RESPECT so much, you would rather hold onto foolish pride and uneducated commentary, as opposed to checking out the REAL story behind ‘Planned Parenthood and Eugenics’, and just admitting that you have spent all of this time supporting the WRONG cause.

    I too was in your very same position a while back. I was in a debate with _A_ regarding abortion, and I was hell bent on supporting planned parenthood AND Margaret Sanger, until he dropped a link to ‘MAAFA21′. The difference between you and I, is that I AM open to learning something new and perhaps for the better. To paraphrase something Johnny_Walker said in another forum…If you didn’t LEARN something during a debate, then you didn’t WIN.

    Although I may not agree with infinite_question, johnny_walker and bvince regarding Obama, if those brothers suggest I look something up, then I do just that. I don’t let silly pride stand in the way of my own personal gain. Unfortunately for YOU, you need much more than a dictionary….

    @Infinite_Question, I don’t write anything that I haven’t checked out myself. When it comes to opinion, I will clearly state that. The thing that I try to impress on most, especially Digg_it_Up is to do just that. DIGG IT UP. If you think I’m stating things for the sake of “hating” (damn i hate that damn word) then simply go and debunk what I’m saying. I promise you, I read any source or link sent to me. You, BVince and Johnny_Walker keep me on an information chase, and even Digg_it_up does too, when he is in that frame of mind. There are others here that simply want to dismiss anything that opposes their perspective, and will even admit they ain’t reading nothing, because if it comes off as negative, they will not accept the source. Funny though, if it’s positive, they WILL accept that source without qualification. That is disingenuous. Also, I watch a lot of FOX so when I give my opinion, it’s based on my own observations, and not what I have read here on NewsOne. As RK Byers stated earlier, they are playing the same game as FOX and all other media outlets except from the other side of the spectrum. That alone says you have to delve into these things for yourself and keep an open mind or risk becoming part of the millions of sheeple in this world

    As far as “radiant smiles.” Some of the most Satanic figures in history had those. That’s how they are able to come into your circle and get you to put your guard down. Go listen to how the original Black Panther Party describe the FBI informants who had infiltrated their ranks.

    Also for the slowest one in this blog…well there are two…i respected her fight for women’s reproductive rights and choice…it is called being a feminist…if you chose to confuse that with defending her ideals about racism then by all means go right ahead…because i know i am not racist and i didn’t respect her ideals on that but like i said…i see ever point of view not the only the one that is most convenient to show how ignorant i can be…

    _A_, LOL! Not only are black people ONLY born in the USA, but blacks from the USA are the only one’s who have access to information! How long has sincerenow known you? Where you were born? Where you grew up at? If in fact you have ever been to the great USA? So even though you are now on your computer, just like she is, have access to the SAME information, just like she does, you being in the Bahamas must equate to two cans and string! Bahamas must equate to candles and oil lanterns because you can’t possibly have electricity there! I bet you all cook your food outside, and that’s IF you have managed to figure out how to create fire!

    How dare you sit in that 4th world country with absolutely NO resources and pretend like you are indeed black and can read and web search and watch CNN like us superior blacks here in the U.S.!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SincereNow/ SincereNow

    SincereNow,

    Well my dear, SANGER was all about ABORTION! How can you say you are for choice when Sanger gave blacks NO CHOICE? Sorry, but my NOT agreeing with you doesn’t equate to my needing a dictionary. Like I said before, you need so much more than a dictionary it’s ridiculous! If I do need a dictionary, I’m glad that is ALL I need….

    You can’t really mean that you can look past her wanting to ERASE black people period, just because you THINK she fought for the woman’s right to choose?? NEWS-FCKIN-FLASH! The ‘planned parenthood’ BS was THEE coverup! I’m sure if she called it ‘Planned-Black-Extermination’ she wouldn’t have been able to get so many of you BLIND ones on her team. She gave black women NO RIGHTS when it came to choosing! That’s what you DON’T seem to get. She started sterilizing young black girls as young as 7 years old so they wouldn’t ever have ANY CHOICE!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    SincereNow, You are absolutely right! There were MANY black women involved in the white woman’s movement. The shame of that is, they weren’t privy to information like we have now, so they really had no way of knowing the TRUTH behind it. Once again, when you break down the black couple, the strongest couple, then you have them BEAT. ENTER THE WHITE WOMAN’S MOVEMENT!

    And really, just because blacks take part in something you think that makes it right?
    So what you’re saying is, because MANY black people supported McCain, he MUST have been the right person to vote for RIGHT?
    Because there were MANY black people that in fact DID NOT want to leave slave plantations, that made slavery acceptable RIGHT?
    You don’t think black women had it so ROUGH back then, that ANY organization that told them they would make it ‘easier’ on them, they wouldn’t have jumped at that chance??? Now fast forward to TODAY. Do you really think that a group of white women could talk an entire group of AWARE black women into joining their group for any reason??? NO! We have too much accessible information to be taken in by whites as such. You’re too foolish to even do the research on Sanger! Unfcknbelievable! You’d rather support and respect a MURDERER because you don’t like _A_ or myself?? DAMN!

    yall wild. i think shes very attractive, thats all. BUT sincerenow and i disagree on as much as anyone on here. i have NO problem with abortion, i despise religion of ANY kind and burn more trees than a forest fire (southside match one).

    i value her point of view and i see alot of me in her. we probably would disagree on as much as we would agree on various subjects. thats true with a majority of bp members who love history as much as i do. the problem with me is, its hard to look at the past, future and present at the same time and see the impact that each has on the rest.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    See the dumb logic…How many BLACK SLAVES fought in the CIVIL WAR? ON BEHALF of the CONFEDERATES?????? How many fought in WW1 and when they came back were subject to the worse form of racism known to man? In fact, does she even know that GERMAN POW’S were TREATED better than the BLACK soldiers? Does she know how many BLACKS defended slave masters when Denmark Vescy, Nat Turner and even John Brown came to free them? I mean how stupid can you be to use the fact that some silly black folks supported Sanger and somehow that makes her ok? I mean, you have the nerve to call yourself EDUCATED? EVEN my BIGGEST opponents here WHO love siding with anyone who opposes me, won’t even have your back on this. I used to think you were the 2nd most emptyheaded person on this site, but you have by FAR replaced the number one spot and NO ONE will ever take your title.

    I’m still waiting on those Glenn Beck links by the way. I can go all day with the Sanger quotes. You can’t get better than quotes straight from the BEASTS mouth!!!!

    @Cali. This is a dangerous one here. You’re exactly right. Because she has no love for me/us, she would rather hold on to this notion of respecting a female KKK member. Luckily, she isn’t a danger to you or I, but I feel real sorry for those close to her.

    @Infinite_Question. I’m pro life, but I never disrespect anyone for being pro choice. But this is not about that. This is about Margret Sanger and her beliefs towards black people. And for anyone to say you respect her because she fought for women’s rights is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASrFufnMNDg

    Have you noticed that her ONLY justification has been “well other blacks followed her”…lol…How many blacks are smoking crack, shooting heroin or robbing another black person right now. Since when is the fact that other people are doing it or believe in it justification for an action. I thought that played out when we were children? I guess somebody forgot to send this one the memo.

    Brother this video is 2 1/2 hours, but you will only need 10 mins or so to understand how utterly idiotic it is to support or respect M Sanger.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST/ CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST

    @CaliFemme23-You acting like President Obama is not in offices and claiming he hadn’t put an END to the War. Like I stated before his term is not up and he got 6 years to go. So yes the War will end under President Obama terms. I don’t care what noone else think nor say about President Obama because in the end they will be still talking sh!t because he will get his 8 years in as the President. And I can state he sending my family home. O’yeah how much money did bush spend on the War he started?(JMOARBTY)

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST/ CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST

    It was over 375,000 black people who fought in WW1 that was counted for and some was slaves and others was free who fought in the War. They came from the north and the south. This is not a research this is facts from my father who was part of it. What some people read on the net or have in their so called history books are part true. Half of the blacks wasn’t even counted nor had any reports on if they lived or died in the War. Once the War was over it was like they didn’t care for them at all and not only the blacks but,all those who fought in the War. They was treated like sh!t and went unnoticed.(JMOAF)

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST, Yeah he may in fact get that 2nd term in office, but when he made the promise about ending the war in Afghan, he wasn’t even selected yet, he said it again when he was selected and this term is ONLY 4 years. He even said he would end the war in Afghan DURING HIS TERM, his words, not mine. Face it, your president can’t hold to the promises he made..Period. You BHO supporters fight hard for that 2nd term because you KNOW Obama can’t even begin to touch on each and every FOOLISH promise he made. And you’re right again, people will still take him to task BECAUSE HE VOLUNTEERED FOR THE JOB! I don’t know WHY you people are content with whining about people talking about Obama…Get over it, he’s not the first and won’t be the last.

    Now see this is unfair Carolina, I always answer your questions, yet you NEVER answer mine…I know you honestly can’t, but I’ll still humor yours!

    You asked about how much Bush spent to start the war? Not sure on how much he spent to START it, but I do know that to date it’s REPORTEDLY totaled up to between 156 bil-227bil. And just think! Ya boy Obama is going to add ANOTHER 657bil to that for ANOTHER THREE YEARS.

    I wonder are you going to be in these forums in a few more years still saying…”It’s only been 7 years and 9 months Obama still has 5 months left, give the president some more time!!!”… LOL

And YES you Obama HATERS will be here in more years to come still whining and crying about President Obama. OUR BLACK PRESIDENT…hahaha I do get a kick out of your comments like always. You try so hard to paint a picture of everything you claim is wrong that President hadn’t done. You keep that War at hand like the REPUBLICAN keep REMINDING us that OUR PRESIDENT IS THE STEREOTYPE OF THE BLACK MAN. YOU people keep account of what you claim the President is not doing and promises you claim he didn’t do in a time frame you wanted it done in…(WHICH HE DID CLEARLY STATE IT WOULD TAKE SOME TIME)yet YOU people is missing the point where he have done it. Now lets see if you can POINT out and KEY in on the rest of the GOVERNMENT parties who claim to do the same thing for the american people and yes they made those promises you speak so much of yet they have done NOTHING to make change but supported a clan rally.

    Damn! Looks like i’m late for this party. lol.

    _A_, i just want to touch on the Glen Beck thing… He cannot come out and say he is racist, even if he is. He would immediately lose his t.v. show and receive public scorn, ie David Duke.

    The Republicans have smartened up since, or just became more evil ( if that’s even possible). All Beck needs to do is PLANT THE SEED (as you said, Obama does not like white people and their culture etc) and sit back and watch the destruction that ensues. All you need is a single match to ignite the powder keg. Hell, Beck doesn’t have to strike the match himself, just hand it to someone else to strike it.

    I don’t think anybody on here needs to be told who his core followers are?!?! Rural white Amerikkka, the uneducated, the under educated, blue collar etc…

    And yeah, she does have a beautiful smile.

    and btw, do you belong to the tea party???

    CAROLINA, Umm NO, you still haven’t answered my question, but I digress…Like I said, I don’t think you can answer it….

    u said: “YOU people keep account of what you claim the President is not doing and promises you claim he didn’t do in a time frame you wanted it done in…”

    We do keep account of what the president is not doing about the promises HE made along with the time frame HE LAID OUT. No no my sweet, I am not the one that said he would end the conflict in Afghanistan during his first term…HE DID! WOW! I know your computer can access youtube right? You need to do a search for Obama speeches in NEBRASKA. That is where he said he would END the conflicts during his term….How can you say we Obama’ haters’ have laid out a time frame for him, when MANY of us have QUOTED the man himself? So you would rather be blind to real facts because the guy is black???

    I’m sorry, but my support for someone would have to come into question when I start looking foolish saying the SAME thing over and over again and can’t present not ONE real fact about the person, while ignoring those that do.

    I really WISH, Beck, Limbaugh, Palin and anyone else in the media that ‘hates’ Obama would be wiped of the earth so you staunch supporters would have no choice but to FOCUS on the man himself for a change!

    This entire campaign has been TRICKERY from the start….Look at who they put Obama against….A 100 year old geriatric, and a chick who thinks ‘refudiate’ is a real word! HAHAHAH!!! And you niggrahs fell for it hook, line and sinker!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST/ CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST

    @Cali-YES I DID and President Obama HAS KEPT HIS PROMISE on ENDING BOTH WARS. Which part of that is YOU not COMPREHENDING ON TOP OF HIS TERM IS NOT UP YET? You people are so into the WHITE MAN MEDIA that your BLIND to the TRUE FACTS of what is going on. You keep saying he didn’t end the War yet he DID and thats ALL you have to touch base on and then you act as IF his TERM as President IS UP WHEN ITS CLEARLY NOT. So yes I would have to question someone who can’t comprehend what 4 years mean nor the fact that OUR PRESIDENT STATED CLEARLY IN HIS SPEECH IT WOULD TAKE EVERYBODY WORKING TOGETHER TO BRING CHANGE TO AMERICA AND THE ECONOMY AND IT WOULDN’T BE EASY YET IT COULD BE DONE IF EVERYONE PULL TOGETHER.(JMOARTYC)

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    CAROLINA- Girlfriend you’re bonkers! It’s official! No offense, but even your fellow supporter infinite_question made a post some time last week I believe, where he too said he wouldn’t be voting for Obama again UNLESS he laid out a CONCRETE time frame to PULL OUT of Afghanistan, among some other things on the list. Hence, THE WARS ARE NOT OVER!

    I tell you what…Drop me the link to the article, youtube video or news station where someone, ANYONE said the war in Afghan is over. And before you mention Iraq, that war is not OVER, he simply pulled SOME troops out, and he hasn’t even begun to touch on Afghanistan. Why do you think everyone is so worried about the backlash of the supposed burning of the Koran? Because our servicemen/women ARE STILL THERE!!!

    Obama HAS NOT ended any war!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST/ CAROLINAGIRLSRDABEST

    @CaliFemme23-President Obama TERM IS NOT UP. On top of IF HE DON’T END THE WAR NOR SEND EVERYONE HOME DOING HIS TERM AS PRESIDENT…IM NOT GOING TO BLAME PRESIDENT OBAMA BECAUSE HE DIDN’T PUT THEM THEIR NOR DO HE HAVE THE FULL POWER TO BRING THEM BACK HOME JUST OUT THE WAR.(MEANING UNCLE SAM STILL GOT A HOLD OF THEM EITHER WAY.) I STILL WANT MY EQUAL BLACK PRESIDENT IN THE WHITE HOUSE I STILL GOT 43 MORE TO GO BEFORE I START B!TCHING AND COMPLAINING. MY FAMILY WHO IS FIGHTING IN BOTH WARS STATING ITS ENDING AND LIKE YOU STATED ABOUT PRESIDENT OBAMA NOONE FORCED HIM TO HIS JOB…JUST LIKE NOONE FORCED THESE PEOPLE TO SIGN THEIR LIFE AWAY TO UNCLE SAM.

    Carolinagirl, Naw, I haven’t fallen for this ONE guy who says he’s in Iraq right now. I say once again…Talk to some of the people that are there. I have family and many friends who are there and we talk about the conflict often. Bottomline, they say they don’t really ‘see’ any end in sight….And this is from some of them who are in fact Obama supporters.

    Oh I know Obama didn’t send the troops to the wars, I never said he did. Obama just made the PROMISE to end it…His actions thus far don’t speak to him ending anything…I keep telling you he is in talks to FUND IT FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS! I see you just won’t address that point will you? You would have to admit that your illustrious president just might be…*GASP*!!! A POLITICIAN! lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

I don’t know about you, but I hate to put all my ‘eggs’ in one basket without knowing ANYTHING about the subject at hand, and possibly looking foolish when it’s all said and done.

    I can bet you probably spent time finding the right vehicle to drive, the right home to live in or buy, the right schools to send your kids to, the right job/career for yourself right? Then WHY didn’t you take out that same time to in fact research and find out all you could about the very person that is supposedly in control of YOUR economy/livelihood for possibly the next 6 years?
