Obama should'nt speak to the kids!

[trish]

Here’s the horrible indoctrination Obama’s gonna lay on your innocent children: stay in school, study hard and graduate because a graduation certificate increases your chances of finding job and achieving success in life, however you measure it __ end of message. It’s the same message that was delivered to students by many presidents past, republicans as well as democrats. Just to name two: George W. Bush gave a nationwide address to students in 1991, Reagan did a Q/A with students at the White House that was televised and viewed live in schools across the nation.

So let’s count all the fears and the lies that have so far been promulgated against Obama: he’s a Muslim, he’s a socialist, he’s a fascist, he’s an illegal alien, he going to take away your guns and now he’s going to brainwash your children. It doesn’t give you a lot of faith in the sanity or the good will of the right wing, especially when they show up armed at presidential appearances and make jokes about issuing licenses for hunting the president. Listen up right wing American: your president is a democrat who is just barely left of center. Oh, and he’s black. Live with it!

He's black? You just had to sneak that little comment in there. He is also white.

Okay. Prove to us you extreme right wing nuts would behave just as stupidly if your president wasn't black.

Both sides have always had their wing nuts, but I have never seen the level of organized hate I see today. Our President could come out saying he was going to cut taxes for business and the wealth today and tomorrow I'd hear how that was just a secret plot to brainwash CEOs.

There is plenty of thins he has done that are questionable, plenty of actual policies to oppose, just stop making shit up.

On the money.

I have never seen so much hatred directed at a president so early into his term. Even if you don't agree with his policies, at least give the guy a fair chance. All this pent- up rage from the fringe right-wingers is almost hilarious. Like Trish pointed out, he can't change his skin color so you might as well deal with it. I know it's hard.

Please to them he's still a nigger. The only mixed person that I think they have no issues with is Mariah Carey.

All politicians are such a pieces of shit, they are just a hand picked puppets by and for corporate america.

New and improved ...

not all exclude ralph nader and ron paul from that list.

Ron Paul is a good and honest man, but he wouldn't make a good President.

Ron Paul is just as bad.

You can't call yourself a libertarian by using the age-old "states' rights" card. If something is unethical for the government to do, it is unethical for ANY government (even state governments) to do.

Something doesn't become magically wrong just because the feds are doing it. If it is wrong, it would be just as wrong if committed by a local or state government.

His answer to just "let the states decide" for just about everything, isn't an answer at all... its "I want to be the one in charge, so that I can inject myself into your daily lives... not these other people in DC"

Now Ross & Admiral Stockdale on the other hand, I do think they would have made for an excellent administration.

Don't kid yourself. The klan/nazis hate her too.

There's just no limit to the crazy.

Yea really? Makes you wonder who else would be a contender for being considered the fastest-loathed president. LBJ... maybe?

But the interesting thing is it seems the bulk of the people who hate him with such a passion are conservatives. It seems that the left isn't so much hating him despite the long list of campaign promises he either hasn't delivered on... or has done total 180's on.

I.e. taking Bush's stance on don't ask & the defense of marriage act, increasing the amount of troops in Afghanistan, telling congress to tax peoples' health care benefits. Etc.

He made a lot of promises going into this, and he's not going to be able to deliver on all (or perhaps even most) of them, but that seems to play no role whatsoever in why people are disliking him so much.

[jaycanuck]

Hey mods, could you get me the ip addresses of all the right wingers here? I'd like to send their ids to their local Republican headquarters so their political heroes know what their interests are.

I'm sure they'll be happy to give their people a break from lying about health care to get back to good ol' fashion right wing gay bashing. Their baseball bats I'm sure are feeling lonely.

and funny!..

Oh really?
Ross Perot proposed that every American be issued an ID card that would have to be carried at all times. It would have included a chip that could be read remotely & located at a distance, similar to the ones being issued as speed passports now.

Careful what you wish for.
