Who asked you to?
Isn't that terrible? What an irresponsible and immoral thing for him to say.
He's messed up. If he didn't look the way he does no one would care what he has to say. He certainly didn't get to where he is today because of his intellect.
But that's not at all what he said - he didn't just say he turned his life around - he basically gives license to go ahead and do the same thing that he did because you can just stop later. Wrong message.
Good observation.
I will bet that no coach, teacher, or principal ever spat in his face. I will go further and make an educated guess that even if we are only speaking figuratively, a lot more white people in positions of power have "kissed Obama's butt" (figurativly) than ever spat in his face (figuratively). I would go further and suggest that black men or boys probably did spit in his face, literally or figuratively.
All the better to align with the radical black vote. The party will forgive him, much as the feminists forgave Slick for serial rape.
Apparently not as bad as Hawaii. Unless, by "white man" he meant Japanese.
My issue with Obama is that the guy hasn't accomplished anything, except for giving some speech. BFD!
Not a problem. Most Obama fans don't read books.
re: Doesn't this make his black father, to whom he owes his entire political identity, little more than a sperm donor?
It would seem that way to me!
I also find it curious that Obama's main "qualification" for higher office in the eyes of many is simply the color of his skin. Now on the one hand we are told by liberals that white parents who want to adopt a black child can't possibly accomplish the task of adequately bringing up that child because their own lack of pigmentation renders them incapable of passing on all important black culture to the child. (Many black social workers actually prefer a childhood of foster care for orphaned black children to being adopted by loving non-black couples.) Getting back to Obama, if a black child raised by a white adoptive parents is not black enough, having not experienced living in a black culture, why in the world is Obama, raised by a white woman and his white grandparents considered black enough? It also seems to me that Obama owes everything he is to his white mother, not to the sperm donor who stuck around for a brief time and then left, not only the family, but the country. But whom does Obama identify with? It is certainly not those who loved him, nurtured him, or provided him with an education at elite schools.
That is one area I like Tiger Woods for. When they tried to make him a black man he pointed out his mother's asian heritage. He didn't let them diss her. Too bad Obama/Osama doesn't have the same respect for his mother's heritage. Tells a lot about him in my book.
See if you understand this, your movements are conservative and as a result you are full of it.
Osama..errr I mean Obama, finds playing the Black race card much more productive in politics, than playing the White race card. Osama---I mean Obama is a Democrat after all.
