You’re nicer than I.....
Even the “pop-culture” reference to the term “Man-Child” isn’t racist, it refers to a middle aged man who acts like a teenager, sowing his wild oats so to speak. There even was a comedy in the UK about this. It has no racist connotation.
To answer the question: I don’t give a damn what they think.
Let them call me a birther . . . but as far as I’m concerned this man has failed to prove he meets the minimum standards of eligibility set forth in Section 1 of Article 2 of The Constitution . . . and so I don’t count him as being my president.

It’s a reference to his lack of maturity; so unless you can say an entire ‘race’ is immature, it isn’t racist.
Ryan...your race card expired with Jeremiah Wright.
manchild
An adult male who still posesses psychological traits of a child. Traits include, but are not necessarily limited to:
- whining
- pettyness
- trying to pass the blame for their own underdeveloped judgement
- not “stepping up to the plate” when it’s their role to.
- secretly still finds 3rd grade bathroom humor amusing.
- is able to connect with his children, but only as another child, not as a father.
- not to mention an overall insecurity in who he is as a man, from which similar traits sprout.

Obama evidences again and again that his reasoning is on a par with a young child. He comes up with bonehead ideas. He bows before foreign potentates. He lies at will, thinking he’ll never be found out.
He goes overseas to resolve issues like getting the Olypmics for Chicago, or coming up with an agreement to resolve a problem that isn’t even real, and fails miserably. And then he acts as if world leaders respect him ever so much more than Bush.
NATO just told him his dead certain date for withdrawal from Afghanistan is actually dead certain DOA.
He’ll talk with terrorist sympathizers, but finds it tough to talk to his generals in the theater of war.
It’s baffling how anyone could blame someone other than Obama for him being referred to as a child. And it’s hard to fathom how many children wouldn’t be angered by the comparison in light of this guy’s incredible tom foolery.
Who cares?
I am so done with that trick.
Anything criticizing, “Dear Leader” is ipso facto racist.
Who cares what those homos at mm think....
Being called Boy should be the least of this bastards problems. I call him a communist, which he is!!!!!
HE NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED BEFORE HE COMPLETELY DESTROYS OUR COUNTRY!!!
He doesn’t call him a little child. He calls him “the man-child”.
Obama is also easily distracted, like a child. If not for his “handlers” keeping the push on for national health care, he’d be busy with something else... like Global Warming.
No wait, where is he right now?
My grandfather called my brother, his only grandson, “The Boy” as in “Where’s the boy?”, his great grandsons ‘boy’ and all his grandsons-in-law ‘the boy you married.” Before we got married it was “No boys.”
Since Obama is a POS, the boys are offended to have Rush place the POS in their boyspace.
:-)
I’ve heard Rush say man-child several times. And Obama is immature and naive as he has demonstrated so many times in foreign affairs. Man-child is a very apt term for Obama, a man-child pretending to be a knowledgeable and capable president. He’s not.
LOL, but he’s cooling his heels in Washington, waiting to sign our great grand-children’s lives away.
Frankly, his wish to leave for Hawaii alone is the reason why I’d make sure that bill was read before the vote.
Let him fly out on Christmas. It isn’t Ramadan you know. Heh, heh, heh...
That is quite different than referring to him as a “boy.” It is obvious to all that Rush makes great efforts to not use the term ‘boy’ when referring to 0bama.
Man-child is similar to saying the adult-child of an alcoholic.
None of which is a matter of race. It is all a matter of social maturity.
