Comments on: Will the Race Card Continue to Trump Issues?

One comment I heard a few days ago, which still resonates with me, regarding his associations, is that either:

a) Obama is very nieve and the worst judge of character in a very long time,
or b) Obama is simply at ease with telling lies (knowing full well what was going on in his church and with everyone around him).

The question is… are either good qualities to have in a president?!

You’re incredibly right. A few days ago, when I was discussing with one of my friends (who happens to be black himself) about my preference for Hillary, we got into quite a heated argument.

A few minutes later, after I’d pressed my case that Obama just isn’t qualified enough, he starts telling me how ignorant and selfish I am that I could do this and ‘divide’ the party. Oh, and then he starts telling me how Obama has a great chance to be the first black president. To which I reiterate my belief that he just doesn’t have the experience.

So, my friend realises he’s not getting anywhere with his argument and decides to call me a “racist a**”.

At the time, I was so upset that my ‘friend’ could call me that. Now I realise he really isn’t worthy of being my friend, even though he probably said it on the spur of the moment. However, still today, about 4 days since he called me it, I have this inner feeling of disgust in myself. I have to remind myself as often as I can that there really is no reason to feel like that. I don’t think he realised the hurt it causes.

I’m sorry if I don’t like Obama, but it’s got nothing to do with race for me.

P.S. I should probably also mention that he called me a “psycho Hill-bot” in that same argument, and told me around 4 months ago that I only support Hillary because I’m “white and gay”. Can we say double standards?!

You are a disgrace to our state. So afraid because you don’t like the content of this site. Where were you when Obama disenfranchised voters and stole votes with the complicity of the DNC and Democratic Party? Where were you when Clinton supporters were vilified as racists (and still are)? Where were you when the vile sexism and misogyny were rampant? Go to another site if you don’t what to hear about the truth of your corrupt candidate.

It is only exploitation if you apply the logic across the board. A lot of people are called misogynist for not supporting Hillary. Are you denying that Hillary exploited gender? Are you denying that John McCain expoloited participating in a genocidal war? Every politician exploits personal attributes. Obama was right to do so.

There’s really nothing else to say. You want to vote for that, you’re the enemy of the Constitution and American freedom. Period.

Except when you are telling people who to vote for.

And Obama can talk about how he used a specific political structure when every other politician does the same thing, from AIPAC to Wall Street to the Dixie Mafia to the defense lobby, all of which are far more dangerous than a radical Black church.

Minus any emotionalism, and in full disregard of the negative tactics of the Obama campaign
Not including his questionable associates, who have serious
mental problems, as well, as the tendency to exploit their followers with emotional crutches, and fully unreasonable drivel.
Excluding the devastating
unfairness of the Democratic party and the MSM.
Mr. Obama is not qualified for the job. His application is thin. He uses his opposition to the Iraq war as proof of his superior judgment. Unfortunately
his argument is “I told you so” kind.
He believes that he should be the Commander in Chief of the military, offering, to this country NO experience, questionable judgment and a wife who for all intents and purposes is not fond of white people. He believes as, so many politicians do, that his advisors will lead him, and that he will make judgments based on the full information he will be given. This country cannot really, at this hour, afford a president, whose most common excuses are “an aide filled that out”, or “this isn’t the man I knew”, to be judging anything based on the committed soldiers in the field. Barack Obama, has shown highly flawed judgment, which is based on his lack of experience, his pragmatism and his enveloping need to impose his judgment about how our lives should be, while his life, is filled with chaotic characters, at best. He may believe that another speech will change minds, but to be honest, the only speech he can give, which would make sense to me, and others, is “I resign”. This culminating act of humility might set him on the course of true leadership. Obviously, he has believed that what he learned through organizing in the inner city, has given him insight into how deep his soul is, and how expansive. Yet his large house
in the middle of the streets filled with poverty, makes him as culpable as
those he criticizes. I realize that those who support him, will not find
in my words, anything of value, because some of you are sitting in those
latte hotels, with your own smug ideas of how the world should be; others of you are in your college dorms, with your minds, not yet seasoned with
the wisdom of recognizing a figurehead. Some of you have misplaced ideals, and just want to hear something “nice” and comforting. You want to dream again. But dreams, my friend begin not because of our vaporous hopes, or desire to follow others. Dreams are solely, the hope of your own soul, acting
in consort with reason, and patience and hard work. No one can take you to the mountaintop, and especially, those like Mr. Obama, who has not been
there. He needs you, more than you need him…to get to that bigger house
he desires.

They’re also very self-absorbed, and many will just be too busy updating their MySpace pages and talking on their cell phones to take the time out of their oh-so-important lives to vote!

Well, you might want to check my previous posts about his flip/flop on Israel.

Say what you want I will not spar with you any longer. If you actually would read many posts here there have been many examples to his “Marxism” in whatever disguise he wants to dress it in.

You only think there are not numbers out there willing to go thru 4 years of McCain to keep your boy/man out of the White house – there are millions.

No American president has ever been so chummy with Islam like your beloved one. The people behind him do have an agenda. You just do not want to accept the fact that there are people who are willing to do anything to undermine America.

Go away we do not go to dailyidiot or huffpo to post. You picked your “winner” go be with the other people supporting him.

As far as being “ugly” I have been nice for a long time and I am now fighting back.

JUST SAY NO TO BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY
NO OBAMA/MARXIST
HILLARY OR MCCAIN 2008

Interesting this just in:

from the republican blogs discussing what could have happened in the meeting with Clinton/Obama. Speculation that IF Obama chose Clinton as VP, the ticket would be hard to beat….but that use Michelle Whitey tape soon would make obama weak and able to beat, even with HRC on ticket…
(again, from a repug blog so…)

if HRC not on ballot, use of whitey tape would result in nomination of HRC from the floor in August…

so they are all discussing their strategy here…and they know about the tape

In others words, nothing you believe is based on reason or facts; just your “feelings” about these nasty black people grasping for power.

Whatever. I’m glad you hideous human beings are leaving the Democratic Party. And don’t pretend your numbers are millions. They aren’t. Your numbers are tiny and your influence neglible. You’re just sitting around online deriving a pathetic sense of personal satisfaction from your shared hatred of the guy who beat HRC. And with each day that passes I see more references to “blacks,” “black lib,” “inadequate black,” “black radicals,” “black nationalism,” etc etc.

But it’s Obama who’s the racist, huh? LOL. You tell yourself that whenever you look in the mirror.
