I think some people just have a hard time accepting, that President Obama
Edited on Sun Aug-02-09 08:24 PM by Peacetrain
is "their" President.

It is almost funny to watch the twists and turns as they try and run away from reality.

And it tickles me no end, to watch their twisting and turning.

Karma is a wonderful thing.

edit for a misspelled word.

4. It's becoming scary now
It's getting to the point where you're looking at them sideways like ".....what are you planning?"

5. It reminds me of the gender questions about Queen Elizabeth I
There's a thread through contemporaraneous and subsequent commentary that she must have, in some way, not been a woman.

7. *gasp* You mean - ohmigod - he's part Negro?
The FReepers and talk radio - and Faux News - are having vapors about it.

That's what it's all about for them. And ALL it's about for them.

16. You struck nothing. Next time, try taking on the FReepers. Unless you are one of them.
Which I believe is entirely possible from seeing your cowardly, sniveling, lack of info profile.

20. You style here is exactly why DU is still unable to hold
discussions that frankly, many of us had decades ago. Just vile suspicion and thinking the worst of people, based on nothing. The poster you are attacking, I don't agree with everything he posts, but it would not take but a minute to search and establish that he's no racist. To be utterly blunt about it, the same could not be said for you.

25. Obviously, your discussions 'decades ago' didn't
accomplish much. Probably because they weren't conducted earnestly and/or honestly by either one or both parties. Frankly, I don't need anyone to determine for me, who is racist and who isn't. Overt or subliminal, it isn't difficult to detect.

8. We were the same way
Except that we had a) excellent, documented, and justifiable reasons, and b) we didn't go buying arsenals and threatening to assassinate him or secceed from the Union.


Oh, and c) history proved us so right it wasn't funny!

9. I STILL don't accept that he was my president.
Bush was serving other people. Not me.

22. Here's how it works.
They know that if they just outright opposed him, we'd be able to call them on their SUPPORT THE PREZNIT OR YER WITH THE TERRORISTS, SONNY bullshit. So, by not acknowledging Obama's legitimacy, they're free to "hate that N***ER" in peace without appearing (at least to themselves) hypocritical.

26. Exactly. He is the opposite of what "black men" are supposed to be about
in the US. He's not a drug dealer. He's never been to jail. He has a wife, children, and happy marriage. He has a college education. He has had REAL jobs. And mostly, he got himself elected PRESIDENT.

31. I rec'd it up, don't worry, I do that too.
I also mix up my left and my right. Don't ask.
And I love Peacetrain's posts, always so logical.

Our president is a model for what America used to mean to the world.
