“Black people are protective of President Barack Obama because he is the first African American to serve as the commander in chief of the United States.”

In other words, they’re racists.

TEA Party aka: “Taxed Enough Already”. What part of this don’t you get? Obama has spent more money (signing bills from the 111th Congress) than ALL others COMBINED. How do we pay for this?

[Responsibility2nd]

I can separate the two men named Barack H. Obama — the one who once filled in as a guest radio host on WVON, the black talk radio station from where I write this piece today, and the one who is now leader of this nation. Most people here in Chicago — and perhaps many black folks around the nation — cannot.

_______________________________________________

That speaks volumes.

Obama could mass murder 100 white people - vow allegiance to all the muzzie overlords on earth - and personally welcome Kim Jong Il as the new president of America, and yet blacks will still slobber all over him with love and adoration

With the Tea Party appeased by (and pleased with) the results of the midterm elections,

Pleased? Yes. Appeased? Not even close. far more traitors to be removed yet. the president and Republicans were able to come to the table together without the nasty tone of criticism hurled at the president from the right. It is not surprising that, in return, the president was able to sign into law several pieces of legislation that would not have been overwhelmingly supported otherwise in either the House or the Senate.

Wrong. What happened is the American people were sold out by RINOs and dead duck democrats who don't have to hide the fact that they are communists anymore. All of these lame duck actions have to be repealed ASAP.

I find myself cognizant of the line between appropriate criticism and inappropriate potshots at the guy who used to be a community organizer around these parts.

"inappropriate potshots"?

Simple. If you are critical of Obozo, it is an "inappropriate potshot" and you are a racist.

[PhilCollins]

If Whites complain about Obama, that fact can’t prove those Whites are racists because Obama is half-white. If those complaints prove that those Whites are racists, that means that all Blacks, who complained about Bush or Reagan, are racists.

Whew! Where to begin. UMMM. When every word of an op ed is twisted beyond recognition 180 degrees in the opposite direction from the truth, commenting is no easy matter. In fact the more I think about it the more it seems to be a colossal waste of time.

He says he get it but does not say what he gets.

He goes off into a riff about the 2 personas of Barack but does not clarify what they are.

He claims that compromise was made possible by virtue of the Tea Party being satisfied. In fact the Tea Party is mightily pi**ed off with the RINO leadership and is ready for a do over.

Finally, Obama approved an agreement in absolute opposition to his consistent position. He even claimed that he was agreeing to protect the people from right wing terrorism.

The good Dr from Harvard left his marbles in Cambridge Square and does not have anything left with which to play.

McAllister sends mixed signals. Can one have a man-crush on OBama and be a conservative ?
Regarding what he now "sees" being in Chicago ? He wasn't around when OBama was our State Senator, course, neither was Obama.

Chicago had Harold Washington before they had Obama:

• Washington was one of the first students enrolled at Roosevelt College (now Roosevelt University), a school founded on granting access to higher education to minority groups.
  
• Washington served on a committee that worked
  to outlaw covenants that legally barred certain
  minorities from purchasing real estate in white neighborhoods

• Washington went on to Northwestern University School of Law,
  the only black student in his class.
  
• Washington was a student and an activist

• Registering more than 100,000 new African American voters [won the Democratic primary by 7.1 percentage points]
  

• Many white Democratic voters vowed to vote Republican, not willing to vote for a black candidate
  

• Washington inspired voters who had previously felt excluded from the electoral process,
  and built his campaign on their renewed enthusiasm.

  Harold Washington: Chicago’s First African American Mayor

  Does Obama ever mentioned the first black mayor of Chicago[ 1983-87] - Harold Washington?

  Mayor Harold Washington eloquently [without a teleprompter] speaks about Mayor Richard Daley and his legacy[scroll down to YouTube]

  Mayor Washington greets Ronald Reagan

  "..[Washington] he did not divide and use racism as a crutch. Harold united people and treated everyone well" -Father Tomasino

[Nepeta]

There is a word describing the unreasoning support and defense of a man who literally bows to foreigner, insults the traditional allies of this country, and offers encouragement to the enemies of America, who has helped foster an atmosphere of uncertainty with unhappy economic results.

A large proportion of the people who supported Obama and who voted for him have changed their minds about him as they watched his performance in office fall well short of their expectations. They didn’t suddenly become racists. They watched what Obama did over nearly two years in office, and didn’t like what they observed or where the country was going.

The refusal of the majority of black Americans to consider that Barack Obama’s presidency is a deepening disaster, even as they suffer disproportionately, is not going to end well. Obama has done nothing of particular benefit to black Americans. Unlike other voter blocks, who will vote for candidates and support candidates based upon policy and belief (we will have two Republican governors in 2011 of Indian extraction—part of a small minority) not common ethnicity, Obama’s unreasoning support from black America is based upon mutual melanin.

The rest of the country knows, as it knows racism when it rears its hideous head.

until I recently moved to Chicago and the same South Side streets that the president used to walk.

Awwwwwww, geez! Gates is here now? Why couldn't he stay in Camden?

My advice to him? CPD never acts stupidly when dealing with beligerent citizens.

[magooey]

the president and Republicans were able to come to the table together without the nasty tone of criticism hurled at the president from the right.

Yeah, and what about the nasty tone of criticism hurled at President Bush from the left for 8 years? You remember, "Bushitler", "kill Bush", and so on. That seems to be just fine with the author of the above article.
