How do I dislike thee? Let me count the ways.

[kearnyirish2]

I’m glad he retreated to the race issue instead of accepting responsibility for his actions and policies; demonstrated for once and for all that he is a pathetic token of whom we are not allowed to expect any adult American behavior or intellect.

"I dislike President Obama because of his petulance."

After the treason of Traitorobama, everything else is just 'icing on the cake.'

[sickoflibs]

This is just another desperate attempt to get non-whites to get out and vote Dem in this years midterms, because they showed up in 2008 and 2012, but not in midterm 2010.

Everything Obama does and says this year is about this years election.

"There’s no doubt that there’s some folks who really just dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black President."

True, I'm sure there are some who dislike you simply because you're black. However, the other 99% who dislike you do so because you are RED.

(prior to the election)

"The Communist Party USA views the 2008 elections as a tremendous opportunity to defeat the policies of the right-wing Republicans and to move our country in a new progressive direction.

The record turnout in the Democratic Presidential primary races shows that millions of voters, including millions of new voters, are using this election to bring about real change. We wholeheartedly agree with them."

After the election....

A Landslide Mandate For Change

A breakthrough election
Congratulations on an extraordinary history making election!

We can think back with pride to decades of hard work toward our strategic goal of a big enough, broad enough and united enough labor and all-people’s movement that could overcome the ultra-right blockage to all progress. That all people’s movement has come to life, it is dynamic and it has the potential to keep growing.

The election of Barack Obama and a strengthened Congress creates new conditions in our country. There is now the possibility to shift gears and move forward. This new day requires us to further develop our tactics in order to continue to deepen and broaden labor and people’s unity.

There are thousands of experiences that we all have had in these momentous days, some large, some small, all of which express the enormity of change in thinking and readiness for involvement that is underway and that steels us for the battles ahead.

The tears of joy we all shared as crowds gathered to watch the election results here and throughout the world dramatize the new moment we are in.

Change is Here, Change is Coming

Sam Webb, National Chair, Communist Party, USA:

Let me begin with a simple observation: If the last 30 years were an era of reaction, then the coming decade could turn into an era of reform, even radical reform. Six months into the Obama presidency, I would say without hesitation that the landscape, atmosphere, conversation, and agenda have strikingly changed compared to the previous eight years.

In this legislative session, we can envision winning a Medicare-like public option and then going further in the years ahead.

We can visualize passing tough regulatory reforms on the financial industry, which brought the economy to ruin.

We can imagine the troops coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan while U.S. representatives participate in a regional process that brings peace and stability to the entire region.

In the current political climate, the expansion of union rights becomes a real possibility.

Much the same can be said about winning a second stimulus bill, and we sure need one, given the still-rising rate, and likely long term persistence, of unemployment.

Isn’t it possible in the Obama era to create millions of green jobs in manufacturing and other sectors of the economy in tandem with an attack on global warming?

Can’t we envision taking new strides in the long journey for racial and gender equality in this new era, marked at its beginning by the election of the first African American to the presidency?

And isn’t the overhaul of the criminal justice and prison system – a system steeped in racism – no longer pie-in-the sky, but something that can be done in the foreseeable future?

All these things are within reach now!

Here is the Thank You letter Obama sent to his Hope & Change artist, Shepard Fairey:

[Maceman]

It appears that America is suffering from a sudden outbreak of SRS (Sudden Racist Syndrome).

[Zakeet]

Sadly, the race card is the only thing that this loser has left ...

[Rappini]

I didn’t need one more reason.

[RetiredArmy]

Well, he can only play half a race card. He does have that white blood. He can deny it all he wants, but Mama was white and he is a half and half no matter what he says. He can stand in a garage and call himself a car, but that does not make him a car. So, standing there and calling himself all black does not make him all black. Of course, we all knew at some point this slime ball would play the race card. They all do when the going gets tough.

[Huskrrrr]

[moovova]

What’s race have to do with it ...outside of Obama childishly using it as a weapon to get what he wants?

[fivecatsandadog]

So paint the SOB lily-white. Won’t change anything. I have NEVER, in all of my 64 years, despised another human being as much as I do Obama. I saw his cards on day one.

[Pearls Before Swine]

It’s not because he is black, but because he acts like some of the worst stereotypes of blacks. We don’t call him Obamamugabe without reason.

[FlingWingFlyer]

It’s “racist” to not like Soetoro because he plays the race card all of the time? Weird.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

There’s no doubt that there’s some folks who really just dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black President.

As I told a co-worker, "Oh honey you have given me so many reasons to dislike you but your race is not even on the list."

I thought my black manager was going to have a breakdown she was laughing so hard.

[dps.inspect]

It’s not because he’s black, it’s because he uses black to extort silence via white guilt from his detractors, acquiescing his actions. Has worked well up till now.

Question, how long can he keep that ballon aloft? Answer, as long as folks allow themselves to be extorted! Tired of the presidential extortion racket yet?

[NCLaw441]

Has his complexion changed since 1988? Maybe he’s grown darker skin, and that accounts for a 39% approval rating. He may want to consider some Michael Jackson treatments to increase his poll numbers.
