I will be honest...

I am a 34 year old married white female with 2 children. Obama had MY VOTE almost right up to the polling place. I had sat through and listened as some family and friends gasped when I discussed thinking he may be the man for the job. I didn't care. It was/is MY VOTE. I pointed out his glowing points, his grand ideas for making the world a better place. I WANTED a better change, a better world for us all, and I didn't give 2 halves of a damn if he was so black he was purple. It DIDN'T matter to me.

HE himself changed my vote. Not his color and not Kenya being hollered in the background. Just the man and his silver tongue.

I will be honest again...

I am sick and tired of hearing race baiting, and pretty damned fed up with seeing the race card pulled daily. How's that for honest? How about the idea that people can actually dislike a president, his attitude, his job capabilities, his # eating smile while the world goes to hades in a handbasket, without looking at his color?

IMO, there is enough there to be displeased with... no need to pull out the tired raggedy race card..


And thats about as real as it gets,thank you

talking bad about our ruler while in office = bad


Interesting choice of words...leader maybe, but ruler-never.

So you make a thread saying people do not hate Obama because of his actions, but simply because he is Black. Then in this quoted post you say you are tired of people playing the race card?? You pulled the race card. It is what your thread was about.

Sorry, but this isn't MY thread. The post you quoted was my reply to the OP of the thread. Please don't allow folks to think I started this tripe.

Exactly...you beat me to it...the POTUS is supposed to be a LEADER and a public SERVANT, never a RULER. The American Revolution was waged to free us from a RULER.

This one think he's an EMPEROR. I evaluate people based on the content of their character, not the color of their skin.

Ditto!

I say the answer to BushObama is to support someone who will vow to nationalize energy and banking. Imposed position limits on commodities trading and to remove energy trading altogether. And to direct the industrial military complex to destroy the OPEC cartel. If they refuse THROW THEM IN PRISON FOR LIFE in 23 hour lock down 24/7 365 with no contact with the outside world. If media hacks claim it would be a throwaway vote.... protest them personally, hound them everywhere for they are the enemies of the common citizen.

Exactly,
now we're getting it.

Instead of all these personal attacks
focus on the issues and the ideas being used.

Maybe the choice of "ruler" was appropriate to illustrate the point.
