Commentary: It's time to move past Obama's skin color
MCCLATCHYDC ^ | 09 SEPTEMBER 2009 | MERLENE DAVIS

Posted on 09/15/2009 7:35:53 PM PDT by Extremely Extreme Extremist

Barack Hussein Obama is president of the United States of America.

As such, he is due the respect that the highest office of the land commands.

Spew rumors, falsehoods and outright lies about his policies, about his birth place, about his intentions. That's freedom of speech.

Attack his wife's clothing choices, his children's pet, his mother-in-law's room in the White House. He is a public figure, and this is America.

And by all means question his health care agenda, the stimulus spending and his increasing the number of troops in Afghanistan. That's government of the people, by the people.

I’ve never given a damn what his skin color is.
I give a damn because he’s an anti-American socialist.

It would be nice if liberals could get past his skin color.

...describing the President as “Creepy” or calling him a Socialist is racist.

A bunch of black kids beating up a white kid is not.

Any questions?

“Doesn’t matter what I put here, the Dems will call it racist”

He took the job of president. He is just as open to scrutiny and any other public official that WORKS FOR THE AMERICAN PUBLIC and is PAID by them.

His skin color does NOT exempt him from ANYTHING that any other public official is not exempted from.

And the race-baiters can sit on that one.

Period.

Of course it is time to move past his ethnicity. Conservatives have done that. Now it’s time for the left to do the same. If they would stop the constant talk of race and how 0’s opponents are racist, we would have a better country!

From a dif point of view, I’m thinking this will set the black community back big time. They thought they were voting for a black president and they were looking forward to the pride that would give them, instead they got a socialist. Now people will think all blacks are socialists ... and that’s not right. He is doing the black community a terrible disservice representing himself as black ... he’s not black, he’s red!

Exactly! He was elected because of his skin color. Its time to throw him out on merit.

I don’t see race.

I see a f*cking Communist who hates the United States I know and love.

This does not say what people might think it says. It is a standard-issue MSM-style fellation of the TOTUS-reader.

As usual, the author doesn’t understand what was wrong with the early clear attempt at indoctrination, which was nippped in the bud by alert citizens.

Likewise, he can’t see the link between Bush’s assisting businesses and that little option of life EMPLOYMENT.

And he ends by conflating the Health Care debate and the early attempt to begin Hitler-style indoctrination.

Standard-issue lib, speaking a megaphone into an echo-chamber.

What conservative has had any criticism over his family, or the dog, or any of that stuff? I haven’t heard it. Nor is it important. There is plenty in the policies and personnel to be critical of.

Lying is the default with just about every politician. It would save alot of breath to yell “That’s true” when Obama says something that’s firmly grounded in reality.
