As long as the Democrat party is being helped, everyone else can go straight to you-know-where.

The report from Chicago this long holiday weekend was at least 5 dead. It might have been as high as 13.

[Rummyfan]

His brief comments pack a lot of punch. For example, "having a black man in the Oval Office is less important than having one in the home."

[Rummyfan]

As Thomas Sowell has also said, the black family survived slavery, discrimination, and Jim Crow. But not the Great Society.

"having a black man in the Oval Office is less important than having one in the home."

Nice.

Funny thing is that as much as I dislike Obama's policies I really like the way he fathers' his children - - can't be easy raising kids when every movement's noted, but our First Family has done it. I'm proud of them that way... probably similar to how some democrats liked Barbra Bush...

“Funny thing is that as much as I dislike Obama’s policies I really like the way he fathers’ his children”

What do you really know about how he fathers his children?

[VerySadAmerican]

Affirmative action results:

Obama
Colin Powell
Jackson-Lee
Waters
Sharpton

just to name a few.

[VerySadAmerican]

The Obama kids have three dads, Obama, Moochelle and Valerie Jarrett.

Thanks for that jaz. Going to pick up that book ASAP. Sounds like a great read.

Ditto that, Dr. Sowell’s recommendation is good enough for me.

and Mussolini got the trains to run on time. Big deal. He ruins our country, drives it into the ground, we’re all in danger because of his illegal acts, but he’s a good father to the girls he’s spent $44 MILLION sending around the world. I’m not proud of him!!!!

[GOPJ]

Trust me, I’m NOT a fan of Obama...

[GOPJ]

Just an impression... when you see Obama with his children ... their love for him seems genuine ... rings true. It doesn't mean anything beyond that... I still don't agree with him on anything, don't like his policies, don't like how he treats our friends, don't like how he's cozy with our enemies don't trust him. It was just a casual observation - nothing more.

[Shimmer1]

I understand that, I was just saying.....

[BradyLS]

I know what you mean. He treats his kids like they’re human and the citizens worse than his dog.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

“Just an impression... when you see Obama with his children ... their love for him seems genuine ... rings true.”

At least he appears to be a better dad than the miserable carousing deadbeat SOB who spawned and then abandoned him shortly after birth.

[exDemMom]

I’m not so sure. He’s raising his daughters to have an imperialist attitude. The kind of example he sets by taking lavish vacations all over the world, spending more on a single vacation than the annual budget of many towns... and not just one lavish vacation per year, but several... the girls are being raised to be privileged, out-of-touch, and spoiled.

In a few more years, we may see them spouting off about how they just tried to care about money, but they can’t.
